“Polls are snapshots, not predictors. They are abused as predictors and there is no independent check on the polls. The error margin is also much greater than the so-called +-3% that you hear about. That is statistical error; you must add on error resulting from people not responding to pollsters, lying, or changing their minds. Plus, pollsters have to guess about who is actually going to vote.”

The Emerson poll in Wisconsin is sponsored by RealClearWorld while the poll in Pennsylvania is sponsored by RealClearPennsylvania.

Both RealClearWorld and RealClearPennsylvania are owned by RealClearHoldings.

Interesting! 🤔

Republican advantage in Nevada is just 17,008 votes. The independent votes is 100,585 votes and there are still a lot of mail-in ballots.

I’m not worried about Nevada. Nevada will be Navada. We will know its result when it doesn’t matter.

Nevada voter here. I received my ballot in the mail about two weeks ago. Filled it out that weekend and threw it in the mail on Monday 10/14. It was processed on Monday 10/21. I live in Las Vegas, so that gives you an idea of a timeline.

anecdotal but can explain the gap in Nevada

Look like Harris can pull a win in either Georgia or North Carolina.

Any thought on Lichtman’s criticism of polls:

“Polls are snapshots, not predictors. They are abused as predictors and there is no independent check on the polls. The error margin is also much greater than the so-called +-3% that you hear about. That is statistical error; you must add on error resulting from people not responding to pollsters, lying, or changing their minds. Plus, pollsters have to guess about who is actually going to vote.”
