I treat the bias as an uncertainty that varies during the simulation, rather than as a constant. It ranges from zero to 2.5%,with a likely value of 1%. I think this will generate an adjustment that is still lower than the amount that people say the polls are skewed by.

Sounds reasonable. This is a very strange election, and more surprises may be coming. A real challenge for pollsters.
