    Don't you still have to attribute it correctly?

    I mean, we didn't get headlines that said: "O.J. says if the glove don't fit, you must acquit."

    The model accounts for house effects. If a pollster leans a particular direction, the model rebalances that.

    I think 2022 was a reflection of the overall uncertainty on polling and forecasting. And he addresses that in the link you shared, which was actually with himself, not a staffer.

    I think the fact that Democratic control of the Senate came down to a couple of special elections and an extended vote count in PA is a pretty close result to the site's projection, which was of the GOP being slight favorites to win.

    As for the rest, his hand wringing and his pontificating have gotten to be a bit much. Completely agree. But I guess I still appreciate the level of nuance his data allows for in this era of nonstop horse racing and projecting.

    The crazy thing about another Biden Trump matchup is that neither side is thrilled about their options - and yet no one on either side has the stones to take on "the king" because of fears of what it would do to their political futures.

    Exactly. King of the non-committal prediction.
    He had Herschel Walker at 64% chance of winning.

    I hope we don't see him climbing the walls of the Capitol in three years.

    Nah, that's another thing that's never gonna happen.

    Subpoena his ass, not that Durbin has the guts. He's a pair of wringing hands turned into a real live Senator for some reason.
