Was discussing this yesterday morning with my father. Told him I thought the polls were overestimating Dem numbers chiefly because they got so burned in 12.
Rasmussen was my primary example.
BTW the Des Moines Register poll that was called an outlier for having Ernst at +7 was dead on. The Quinipiac poll that came out 12 hours later having the race EVEN was crap.
I knew this at the time as the polling outfit the Register uses has been doing Iowa politics for decades with an impeccable record.
The Register poll told me we’d go to 55 the minute it was posted (and yanked numerous times) here.
But by all means, keep skewing the polls towards RATS. Messes up their fraud calculations and we STILL win.
