17. No 538 is not doing non biased polling

increasingly, one suspects that despite his claims to analytical rigor, at some very basic level, Silver does not actually know what a poll is. He is not alone in this; a fair portion of the country’s political punditry and opinion-making class is equally misinformed. In their conception, polls of opinion and sentiment represent not a snapshot of the present as informed by the past, but rather a hazy but prescient view into the future; not a measurement, but a prediction. “[Y]ou can actually write down what will happen in the future, with as much confidence as you write down the history of the past. Because it’s science!” This is why so much media discourse around polling emphasizes a framework that paints polls of present attitudes as a form of absolute constraint on where sentiment will go.

Silver is still trying to recover from his botched dem primary polls when it was statistically shown that sanders vote share had dropped by 25% from 16 and their was no youth vote. All this after just 2 caucus nights silver declared Biden was done for, but just wasn’t willing to accept it

The Emerson poll until recently had a c- rating on 538, but suddenly and without any reason gave them an A- rating, despite Emerson having done nothing to improve their methodology
