Ill forever be shocked that ‘the best pollster in America’ missed her final poll by 17 points when she had been so accurate every other year. Man I thought that (and some other indicators) meant we were finally getting a general polling error in our favor

Now we have a pedo getting nominated for AG

Turns out she was not the best pollster in America. She explicitly refused to adapt to the forces that all the other pollsters were struggling to adapt to and this is the result.
