Polls, polls, polls!!! Everybody (myself included) is glued to the various polls, especially those with the most obnoxious candidates, such as Herschel Walker, Mehmet Oz, J.D. Vance, Doug Mastriano, etc. Remember 2016 … the polls indicated that Hillary Clinton was a shoo-in. Need I say more? One problem with polls vs outcome is that anybody and everybody can respond to a poll, but not anybody and everybody can or will vote. Easy enough to tell that telephone pollster that you’re planning to vote for Mark Kelly, but it requires a bit more effort to actually cast a vote. Another problem, of course, is who is polled. It doesn’t pay to look at any specific poll, but rather look at an aggregate of the most historically reliable polls, and you might get a pretty good idea of how the nation is leaning, but you still won’t really know how many of those polled will actually make it to the polls!
