Go home polls, you're all drunk!

Seriously, what the heck was up with that?

Rasmussen, Gallop, and Mason-Dixon in particular.

I don't think I'll ever trust Rasmussen again. They were consistently wrong. Gallup has been wrong for a month. Mason-Dixon has been all over the place.

Almost ever single poll was skewed right this year. Underestimated turnout? I don't know, but in virtually every race democrats over performed the polls.

Polls weren't even close in ND and MT.

Also, I am sick of PPP being called a left-leaning pollster. They're straight up.

I am looking forward to seeing what Nate Silver has to say about it.

between the media and the "new" view of polls a competitive election was created before our eyes, that was not a reality.

all thru that month of crap, i was confident we still stood at before the fabricated tight race.

when Jon was telling him he should be pounding his chest and roaring, "I am your statistic god!!" (paraphrased.)
