No cherrypicking here. These are the averages using only polls that ended Sunday 10/25 or later. Looks pretty good to me on this All Hallows' Eve. Biden leads outside the margin of error in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin. He has solid but not quite statistically significant 6 point leads in Nevada and Pennsylvania, with Florida not far behind at nearly 5%. Slim Georgia and North Carolina leads of 2-3%. Idiot-in-chief is leading in two, Montana and Texas, but these are 1-2% toss-ups!
I'd like to see more, and at least some high quality polls for Arizona and Iowa, but I'm feeling pretty good. If everyone VOTES and they are COUNTED...just 3 more days!!!

(415 posts)don't give them credence. Or others of that ilk. They must have named it swayable as inside joke about Nate being playable. He's got to dump the fake polls.

(15,651 posts)Even with Rasmussen, Trafalgar and Survey Monkey, Biden is winning.

(415 posts)Some of these things sent to 538 are just made up numbers. I could have gone with a lower cutoff, but the polls I quoted are all reputable, grade A and B pollsters. I just wanted to cut through the junk and see for myself what this quality subset is showing. Thought you and others would find that interesting.
