Polls were a bit wrong in Trump's favor in '16, but polls for the '18 midterm elections were quite accurate. In '20, who knows?

Personally I haven't put faith in the polls for years now, they rarely predict anything of note.

Biden's still gonna win, it appears, but the polls that had him up 8-10% were still off by a pretty wide margin. He might get about a 2% popular vote win nationally and an EC squeaker.

I really thought '16 was the anomaly election and Americans were going to reject Trump by a stunning margin in '20. But it seems they're still missing something big.

The pollsters are gonna have some explaining to do after this one

The problem with polls is they tend to call a very small sample size (+/-1000), which barely judges a county, let alone a state.

My exception to this is Pew Research work. They're often quite good with their data.

I like the result you get on some of these when you apply the beta effect "sharpen" which I did on both of these

I've only made a few memes myself, so I'll have to experiment a little.

Yeah, the landslide predictions (on both sides!) were a leeeeeeeetle misplaced to say the least

However MI was just called and that puts Biden on track for at least 270.

200k votes randomly come in. All of them are for Biden. But it’s ok, that’s normal

New template, likely to be quite useful if I do say so myself
