Thanks, agreed. Not only controlling appearance of Xiden, lies about Trump the person (e.g. a racist) but and active censorship (about the candidate, what is happening in the country etc) in efforts to control the narrative.

I assume you think the midterms where Trump’s candidates consistently underperformed Republicans not linked to Trump are also “Totally irrelevant drivel”.

“Who appears safest generally wins. Trump was the less risky choice in 2016 as everyone knew Clinton is evil.”

Your assesment is debatable, but even assuming it’s true, NBC along with other MSM outlets were “polling” a landslide for Clinton in 2016. With that in mind, why would you give credence to the conclusions of an NBC poll?

It is indeed a push poll... It is indeed too early and thus meaningless... But there is NO way that Trump is ever going back in the White House. The deep state will never allow it to happen. If he even gets close to the primary nomination, covert action goes into effect and they will create a disaster to fully destroy him.

Our only hope now is divine intervention.

Agree....NBC just trying to foment division in conservative ranks. They’re trying to play both sides of a warped record.....on the one hand working behind the scenes to make Biden NOT-RUN and on the other hand set the stage for ANOTHER STEAL should he actually survive the subterfuge on his side and run.

More bought and paid for propaganda: They seek to end the populist vote, no body blievs any polls except the MAGA internal polling.

*********************************************

In the weeks leading up to the November 2016 election, polls across the country predicted an easy sweep for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. From Vanuatu to Timbuktu, everyone knows what happened. Media outlets and pollsters took the heat for failing to project a victory for Donald Trump. The polls were ultimately right about the popular vote. But they missed the mark in key swing states that tilted the Electoral College toward Trump.

This time, prognosticators made assurances that such mistakes were so 2016. But as votes were tabulated on November 3, nervous viewers and pollsters began to experience a sense of déjà vu. Once again, more ballots were ticking toward President Trump than the polls had projected. Though the voter surveys ultimately pointed in the wrong direction for only two states—North Carolina and Florida, both of which had signaled a win for Joe Biden—they incorrectly gauged just how much of the overall vote would go to Trump in both red and blue states. In states where polls had favored Biden, the vote margin went to Trump by a median of 2.6 additional percentage points. And in Republican states, Trump did even better than the polls had indicated—by a whopping 6.4 points.

Four years ago, Sam Wang, a neuroscience professor at Princeton University and co-founder of the blog Princeton Election Consortium, which analyzes election polling, called the race for Clinton. He was so confident that he made a bet to eat an insect if Trump won more than 240 electoral votes—and ended up downing a cricket live on CNN. Wang is coy about any plans for arthropod consumption in 2020, but his predictions were again optimistic: he pegged Biden at 342 electoral votes and projected that the Democrats would have 53 Senate seats and a 4.6 percent gain in the House of Representatives.

Scientific American recently spoke with Wang about what may have gone wrong with the polls this time around—and what bugs remain to be sorted out.

[An edited transcript of the interview follows.]

How did the polling errors for the 2020 election compare with those we saw in the 2016 contest?

Broadly, there was a polling error of about 2.5 percentage points across the board in close states and blue states for the presidential race. This was similar in size to the polling error in 2016, but it mattered less this time because the race wasn’t as close.**

*************************************************

(** My addendum: It was not as close because the vote was fraudulent in 5 swing states.Polls were part of the fraud effort.)
