He sounds like FOX News making things up.

Wow.

The polls in New Hampshire absolutely pegged Trump's support. The average had him winning 53.9% of the vote and he did.

The margin was off but that was also due to polls being done with DeSantis and others in the race. The only difference is that they moved to Haley. But just going off the polls, they correctly predicted Trump's vote total by .4%. That's pretty dang accurate.

On the Democratic side, the polls seemed pretty accurate too. At least as accurate as you can get when talking about a write-in campaign.

I get it, tho. Democrats are doing everything in their power to convince the party voters to not believe what they're seeing. Trump did the same thing in 2020 when he discounted all the polls showing him losing.

The reality is that ignoring polls won't automatically make Biden stronger.

Biden has a lot of areas he needs to shore up in the next few months. We can't pretend he's in a strong position because he's not.

The good news is he's got plenty of time to shore those vulnerabilities up. I think he will but we're not there yet.
