hes a guy who claims to be a doctor but he tortures animals for a living and denies math and science. best to ignore that waste of lefty privilege
I killed about 30 mice today because I made a mistake on my spreadsheet and we didn't need them.
I brought an extra 30 mice into existence who's only purpose in life was for me to kill.
Isn't animal research amazing?

It actually isn't like it was in 2016 though. It only looks that way if you don't actually follow the polls.
Since 2016 models have been updated to be more favorable to Trump by including education as a predictive factor where it wasn't before, they have also increased weighting of rural voters.
Additionally, Biden's lowest national lead is the same as Hillary's was at it's peak. So the best Hillary has ever done is the worst Biden has ever done. He's so much further ahead in polling than Hillary was.
And lastly, polls the week of the election had Trump winning within margin of error, so the polls were accurate.
The lesson from polling in 2016 is that polls are largely accurate, but are only a snapshot, and the only ones that are predictive are the ones immediately before election day, as events can change voting attitudes pretty quickly.
