    Nate Silver who had a pretty credible claim to cutting through all the math and bad methodology into a decent look at what’s going on gives Biden a 25% chance to win.

    So even you admit using your own methodology that this election is going to be like shooting fish in a barrel for Trump. Got it 👍

      It’s interesting to me that you’re not upset about that prediction. You sound happy about it.

        No matter how much you try to smuggle that intent onto my statements it won’t make it true. You’re neither a mind reader, nor a particularly effective advocate for your own arguments. Go take your piss poor use of unpersuasive rhetoric somewhere else.

            As @jordanlund already said, national polling is meaningless because the popular vote does not determine the outcome of the election. I have not ever cared about national polling beyond the tertiary value of perhaps better understanding the aggregate sentiments of the country.

              Idk dude. A week ago you were insisting that swing state polling wasn’t what was important, it was something else that let you paint a gloomy narrative.

              I mean, your central point that things look grim, I agree with somewhat. It just sounds like you’re putting more energy into arguing for it, using whatever is to hand, than into trying to fix it.

                Pretty weird thing to insinuate yourself since what I actually said was THE EXACT FUCKING OPPOSITE 😂
