@LaNaehForaday Yes, but the same chart for Ms Harris also shows her in minus territory. A little less minus, but still minus.

However, this is not Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight and they are not using his algorithms, so do not put too much faith in their stats.

@LaNaehForaday Yes, it is FiveThirtyEight. Nate Silver started it and made it a good site. Then they fired him, and he took all his models with him. So it is just not what it used to be.

@yoused

So what?

How does that change the math? The 538 is a aggregate average of all currently polling. How in the fuck do you change math?

Your attempt at gaslighting the world in regard to the accuracy of the polls and how they must be wrong because they reflect Ms Harris as being on top is nullified by MATH.

@LaNaehForaday I just want to be careful. I do not want to think that the situation is better than it is. If you are behind, you try harder.

@yoused

Your tone has been condescending and prickish from the start.

I am a grown adult and understand how politics and the polls works

I also understand math.

I also understand the tiny little details regarding the accuracy of these polls.

No matter what you opinion is of 538 firing Nate Silver, MATH IS STILL MATH.

Be careful all you want.
FOOL yourself into thinking the polls are worse than what they are because you are afraid.

But dont pontificate to me about how I must be completely wrong because I do UNDERSTAND how polls work.

None of us should be complacent but neither should we stand in abject FEAR of the outcome in November when we are gaining ground which should ENCOUARAGE US TO DO BETTER.

@LaNaehForaday I apologize for sounding condescending. I sometimes vance.

@yoused

We are gaining ground which should ENCOUARAGE US TO DO BETTER.
