They are as predictable as the sunrise and Donnie Shittypants smelling like a sack of rat farts.
This was going to be bad for Dems no matter what happened.
Excerpt from the dogshit article:
Democrats may have won the special election in New York, but Tom Suozzi's win could suggest that there's a winning tactic for Democratic candidatesas long as they're willing to abandon President Joe Biden.
Questions about Biden's reelection campaign have swirled in the last week after a damning report from special counsel Robert Hur described the 81-year-old president as a forgetful commander-in-chief. The report came amid already troubling numbers for Biden, who is neck-and-neck with former President Donald Trump in a hypothetical rematch in 2024 and whose approval ratings have struggled since August 2021.
As an increasing number of voters and anti-Trump media are now casting doubt over Biden's reelection effort, Suozzia rare Democrat who spent his competitive race distancing himself from the president and admitted Biden was "old" on the eve of his special electionhas flipped a GOP seat in a swing district.
"Suozzi had an effective strategy, and that's frequently a good way to go when the president is unpopular," Michael Gordon, a Democratic strategist and principal at Group Gordon, told Newsweek.

They claim to be middle of the road. It's a shitshow. This bullshit has been going on for years now.

Let me sum up the article: "Polls say. Polls say. Polls say. Polls say. Polls say."

I'm sick of this shit. Suozzi could have gotten all 200,000 votes to 0 and it would still be "bad for Biden". Fuck this.

They aren't even trying to appear objective anymore. All bias. All fucking day.

One of things I like about politics is that there are always at least 2 sides to story. One side often BS, though.

The comments on that article give me a smidge of hope that the electorate is not entirely fucking stupid.

Predictably right wing biased. Nothing biden's approval rating is underwater, ignoring that Donnie's is drowning.

"Reign of error" lol The article relies HEAVILY on a polling model we have strong indication is flawed and MAGA biased.

They don't get to hide behind "Margin of Error" on these shitty polls. They are pushing a narrative.

The error is that Dems seem to over-perform the polls by 3-5 points routinely. Hasn't been the other way in years.

ABC/Washington Post never did a poll on NY-3 if that's what you're thinking of

Why is it always "wrong" in the same direction? Why don't they adjust their dogshit models?

Yes, when you have to add in the MoE to get in the ballpark of the result. That is in the wrong direction.

He expected it to be close based on the shit polling. They keep getting these races wrong and skewed towards MAGA.

This isn't the only race where this has happened. Ballot initiatives. Special races. The bias keeps fucking happening.

As long as the final numbers coalesce around the final result and within the margin of error, there is nothing to reveal

The odd thing is they run that with a video saying this was a "boost" for Biden
