      POLLS. DON’T. MATTER!!!

      This. They are a lie attempting to convince you voting is a waste of time. Vote. It isn’t just about the count, it’s about the margin needed to overcome legal BS after the fact.

        I agree! Vote! But also, keep in mind that this is the gold standard for polling in this country. Selzer reflected how 2016, 2020, and 2022 went when everyone else was wrong.

    No one has changed their minds over the last week. But the poll numbers keep changing.

    The fact that all these polling groups move and march in unison is clearly indicative of covariance. The polls are related in subtle ways.

    Everyone has an error and worse, the errors have correlations.
