There wasn’t one because they think they don’t need one because of the early votes.

[Vision]

NYT’s is enabling rioters.

will the last employee leaving the ny times please turn out the lights..the party is over

[cgbg]

Praying the polls are wrong.

Again! :-)

What presidential candidate doesn’t get out there and campaign?

A senile one...with supporters terrified of the coronavirus so they won't show up to vote on election day...who will be surrounded by Trump supporters no matter where he goes anywhere in the county....afraid to answer questions about his criminal enterprises..

_That_ presidential candidate.

[Lagmeister]

Just glanced at the internals and this appears to be a poll where they pretty much excluded those who haven’t voted. Would most republicans have already voted... in some states (I think) over 70%?

The only way to get an eleven point Biden lead in Wisconsin is to poll Madison and ignore the rest of the state.

President Trump will win Wisconsin.

The New York Times will not apologize for their pathetic gaslighting.

At one rally in Pennsylvania last night Trump drew 58,000 in a county with a population of 168,000. The NYT would tell you this county is too close to call.

The NY Slimes gave Hillary a 97% chance of winning too.

After the polls were wrong in 2016, why would you believe them now?

[Mr. Jeeves]

The MSM is setting up incredible political violence when reality is finally revealed. They can never again escape the charge that they are deliberately endorsing it.

[CarmichaelPatriot]

The NY Times really doesn’t mind being wrong, do they?

[ScottinVA]

I’m not saying I believe them; that’s why I pray they’re wrong.

[bray]

Has the NYT cancelled their fireworks show yet?

A twist on a favorite internet meme:

Funny, I can’t seem to find a link to the poll’s methodology anywhere in the article...

The cross tabs are linked in a post further down in the thread. This poll is Siena, run by the infamous Nate Silver. Nate's performance has been slipping to say the least. His results conform to the confirmation bias of his clients, which may be good financially, but does not help with his batting record. A completely bogus chart in the NYT article compares 2016 results with Silver's 2020 poll results. Apples and Pineapples, completely useless.

The cross tabs illustrate the "problem", a deliberate decision by Silver to produce his desired results. His regional data is designed to deliver liberal voters masquerading as conservative voters or vice versa. Guess which bias Silver favors? Silvers polls are 180 degrees out from polls by Big Data Poll (Baris), Trafalger (Calhaly) and Susquehanna. These three poll are showing very close races in all of the battleground states with trends going to Trump. Ignore Silver, pay attention to the above three, they are real pollsters.

Save this article, it will be a laughing stock.

DRUGS- that’s the only thing that explains the New York Times. Hatred is their drug of choice.

Mr. Biden’s performance across the electoral map “appears” to put him in a stronger position.

NYT fiction stories on the march.

Ah, so its Nate Silver who is giving the everything is fine call to the left.
