Oh, yeah . . . polls.

Want to see something funny? Go to YouTube and rewatch the 8 o’clock hour of election night on ABC. There’s one great point where they go to Nate Silver who’s modifying one of his predictions . . . and he bumps Hillary UP from something like 72 to 78% chance of winning.

These polls tell these fools what they want to hear, or what they want US to hear. They mean nothing.

That's why I had to stop my weekly election forecast in 2016. Silver's poll-to-probability formula is correct, but the underlying polls were wrong, if not cooked to benefit Hillary Clinton's narrative.

Many of us who followed the statespoll.com site with adjusted polls quickly saw the differences in potential outcomes.
