We're just talking past each other at this point...
"We want this answer, find us proof for it"
as opposed to "We want to find out what the answer is and then prove it"
Ben Shapiro had to admit he was wrong after the 2016 election
But here he is again, getting fooled the exact same way, by the polls.
It's a weird amnesia.
many groups are not being polled however, as there is no reliable way to reach them and potentially screen them (to prevent their numbers from counting twice, or to make sure the sample is random enough)
I think the blue wave is just Mind Games Round 2.
@Dr.Wol Yeah, that's the problem in the social sciences right now. Particularly the more activist and political elements.
Then what was this recent election in Ohio?
That's an R+8 district.
Who are we talking about?
It should have never been news. Nonetheless as close as it was.
Troy Balderson.
Ignore the headline if you want. But it's a verified fact it's a safe Republican district that was so close that they spent weeks recounting.
You really think that's comparable to the mega-event in november?
And the seat is up for actual election in November.
Considering it would be the same people again...yes.
And it's just part of a trend, really. There's been a number of special elections.
If there's a local election in my state, I'm not aware of it because I don't watch TV.
This is the sort of question that throws people
"Wait how were all the polls wrong."

Considering midterms usually have low turnout. I'm not sure it matters.
Because we're not inspecting voters on the human level.
People just don't care mostly.
lol
Fun fact
Or they decide it's not worth the effort.
I didn't even know what Midterms WERE until this term.
Or aren't completely aware of the elcetion.
You have no idea how big that is.
Or that.
Trump has made EVERYTHING LESS BORING
Some of us have been in the loop for awhile though.
Will not disagree there.
Key phrase
"Some of us"
You have no idea how much is different now. And it's quaint.
I have doubts. But we'll see.
