“Let’s get this out of the way up front: There was a wide gap between the perception of how well polls and data-driven forecasts did in 2022 and the reality of how they did … and the reality is that they did pretty well.

While some polling firms badly missed the mark, in the aggregate the polls had one of their most accurate cycles in recent history.”

I may be almost the only one saying this, but numbers speak for themselves. The polls were pretty accurate. It was the talking heads and their stupid red wave speculation that wasn’t. They had no numbers to back them up.

If you don’t believe cold hard numbers, there’s nothing I can do. Perception becomes reality, especially when one hears it over and over, one comes to believe their perception, true or not. it. I’ll leave it as that.

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
