Yeah…… this is the kind of criticism that someone who hasn’t finished their BS in math might say, or someone who really hasn’t done a deep dive into stats, nor applied them rigorously. There is a lot to question about data collection for polls and criticize assumptions made in weighting error or certain effects, but violation of CLT is not a serious argument. And certainly, polls aren’t meant to follow a normal distribution. CLT works for truly random events repeated many, many times. This is a shit argument that doesn’t apply.
Crap i have this backward. Trump’s plan is to lose the blue wall, win the rest, and then try to flip the blue dot after the election.
Some day I’ll get tired of making fun of this. Today is not that day. 1852829982713934093 is not a valid tweet id
Keep in mind that Trump won Iowa by 8! in 2020. Even if he’s up 3 instead of down 3 it’s a terrible poll for him. 1852891063909765283 is not a valid tweet id

From The Des Moines Register: 3% for RFK Jr 3% Don't Want to Say 2% Not Sure This is great news for Kamala, but I still think the 9% not in team (R) and (D) break heavily for Trump, unless those people really do cast their vote for RFK Jr. and not Trump. How amazing would it be if Trump loses a state by the margin that voted for RFK Jr.?
One thing that I think is different about this year compare to any year I can remember is the Democratic unity. Before Biden dropped out it was the opposite, but the willingness of so many egomaniacs (let’s be honest, yall, you’ve got to have a pretty big ego to think you can be a governor) to sublimate their agendas to the larger project is a good sign for a successful presidency if she wins. 1852032507920654454 is not a valid tweet id
one problem is the electorate has changed so much they don’t know what the actual universe looks like. this is particularly the case with Trumps low propensity voters. it’s hard to know how many will actually vote. that was why the polling miss was so bad in 20. No one figured turnout would be so huge.
This is why the Iowa poll has upended the narrative. Look at that map. If this happens in 2 days, or anything like it, well, it would be a metaphoric neutron bomb. The GOP as a building will survive, but the people are all going to have to be replaced. 1852862647407894931 is not a valid tweet id
