  • OT? - He Loved Polls Four Years Ago

    From George Anthony@21:1/5 to All on Wed May 15 11:53:57 2024
    "We still have six months until the election," he said, citing polling
    data since 1972 that indicated "the average difference" between the
    polls six months before the presidential election and the "final result"
    was "six points," a significant gap. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    I guess that means Biden will lose six more points in the polling.

    One of the natural laws of polls is:
    When a poll favors you or your positions, it is scientifically and mathematically valid and is efficaciously predictive, but when it
    doesn't, it's not.

    Theory don't mean squat if it don't work.
