Tillis wins North Carolina Senate race after Cunningham concedes

[Lonestarblue]

10. Prior to 2016, polls were fairly accurate.

In 2016, both pre-voting polls and exit polls showed Clinton winning, even with small margins. The 2020 polls were showing Democratic margins outside the margin of error in many cases, and I seem to remember that Cunningham’s race was one of those. The polls were actually forecasting a blue wave. So my question is why have the polls suddenly been so wrong in elections that Republicans were not expected to win but did.

As I recall, there were lots of excuses in 2016 like calling only landlines and not cell phones. This time pollsters adjusted for education level and gender and other factors that came out of the 2016 failure. Isn’t it time for us to stop saying the polls were wrong and start wondering how Republicans are manipulating the vote?
