You know it's bad when the "everything is rigged" guy agrees that the polls aren't riggedNo-Lifeguard-8173 t1_it8yox1 wrote
What "collapse in polls" is this even supposed to be referring to? There hasn't been a collapse if anything the gap has been narrowing. It's closer now than ever.

Yeah seriously is this a few weeks old? This race moved from likely Democrat to toss-up a few weeks ago.

I googled Trump regrets backing Oz and it looks like this was near the end of August.

Yeah if anyone has collapsed it's been Fetterman. He was up 10.5 points a month ago now it's neck and neck.

It’s propaganda the dem party uses as well as the republicans uses. They both spew bullshit out and hope it stays in their supporters minds . Both sides do it and always have.

They both do pull dumb, shady shit though. I don’t see how mocking him adds to anything.

Well, it’s true so there is that . In this case it’s the Dems doing it . Just wait, the knuckle dragger right will counter with something even more ridiculous

I noticed that since the 2016 election, 538 polls tend to do that now so as to not look stupid.

They didn’t look stupid in 2016. They gave Trump a better chance than almost any outlet. It was 29% by the end. Things with 29% probability happen all the time.

538 doesn't do any polling. They just aggregate the polls and make a forecast based on that.

They run an algo which only puts out what is put in. No one ever knows what gets put in.

538 had trumps chances rise close to the election because the polls showed it as well
I don’t understand how posters don’t remember Hillary’s polling drop in the aftermath of the fbi “reopening” the investigation
