It's the New York Slimes. How well did their polling do in November 2016?

If they tell me it is raining I'll want a second, unbiased opinion.

I agree polls are abused by the left to spin opinion. But these show Republicans winning a majority of these seats.

The TN Senate seat was +14 for the Republican when they suspended polling.

I think we will pick up seats in the House and Senate.

At this point in the 2016 election cycle, the Slimes was predicting a Kankles historic landslide over DJT.

Bwah hah hah hah!!!!

I just don’t get how they can say Az leans dem? Trump won AZ back in 2016 when again they were trying to say that Hillary might just turn AZ Blue....pollsters are either lying or projecting!

They are doing the calls themselves. It is interesting. The Senate polling looks interesting. They have numbers indicating higher Republican numbers that I've seen.

They also admit as of now, they haven't put in enough calls.

Nevada R Heller 48% D Rosen 45%

Texas R Cruz 54% D Robert Francis O'Rourke 42%

Tenn R Blackburn 54% D Bredesen 40%

If NYT tells you it’s raining, it means they’re pissing on you.

If the NY Slimes told me the sun was out a noon in the middle of the Sahara Desert I’d be sure to look up and make sure.

I agree. If the Times is reporting good news for Republicans, I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop.

On election night the live results had the left soiling themselves as their prediction needle gently moved away from Hillary and toward Trump.

I’ll give credit to them where it’s due. I think the night of the election their presentation of data as results were coming in was excellent. The graphs and meters were being recalculated at a decent rate and were taking into account how many votes each candidate could expect to receive from areas which had not yet reported.

Of course they were using the actual results and not polling. Prior to that night I think they were off the mark like all the others.
