Like, polls miss occasionally in other countries (famous example being the UK in 2015 though even that was only 3%) but 95% of the time theyre accurate. In the US it seems like everybody expects an error its just a matter of which way it goes. The great irony is that the example everybody cites is 2016, where polls were actually bang on at a national level and only off in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania at a state level which didnt actually matter as Trump still would have won either way. People were just unreasonably confident relative to the data. Americans think Democracy is bad and that pollsters/media are out to get them. --- "First thing that crosses my mind: I didn't get any GameFAQs Karma yesterday."
