52·
2 months agoBiden is absolutely not leading. State polling has him behind in every swing state. Nate Silver’s model gives Biden a 30% chance of winning, slightly down from the debate.
Polls have been remarkably accurate in the last few election cycles.
The “polls are wrong” talking point is a convenient way for politicians to ignore the will of the people. Trump has done this for a long time, and recently Biden has taken up this practice to pretend that the “Real Americans” think he is fit to be president for another 4 years.
So please don’t repeat this talking point, or at least read a bit into historical accuracy of polls before you declare them bullshit.
