I could give a rats what 538 rates them at!!

They use Emerson and Rasmussen. Emerson has terrible polling methodology and 538 gives them an a-. The Economist thinks their data is junk and won’t use it. Even thou rasmussen is weighted it still isn’t credible..we all know it leans very heavily to the right

FYI: USDornslife was the only pollster that correctly called 2016
