Regarding “there are several recent analyses of 2020 polls done by center-left organizations They concluded that polls favored Biden and Ds in other races by 4-5% all over despite corrections that were made after 2016. 2016 bias was identified due to several specific factors – such as undervaluing low-educated voter support for Trump (his famous quip “I love low educated” was correct). for 2020, they can’t point to a specific problem. This corresponds to right claims before the elections that polls are consistently showing commanding advantage for Biden, leading to vote suppression – why bother voting, if a candidate has no chance. Intentionality is unresolved, but fact of “systemic bias” confirmed.”
The analysis that this was systemic bias is incorrect because the AAPOR concluded that the republican pollsters did not do any better. “It is not clear that Republican pollsters did any better ” said Josh Clinton, a professor at Vanderbilt University and the chair of the AAPOR association’s 2020 election task force.
The official report done by AAPOR, American Association for Public Opinion Research shows that the National surveys of the 2020 presidential contest were the least accurate in 40 years, while the state polls were the worst in at least two decades.
“All partisan pollsters have the same incentive to get this right but Democratic pollsters and Republican pollsters were off by equal amounts. ” Professor Clinton said.
The report totally rejects the false accusation that the ” left-center organizations ” polling were intentionally biased against Trump.
(I know that the Trump supporters are going to trash this report just like they trash everything else that is not in sync with their ideology.)
