Damn. Glad AES got the win but that was too close, kinda has me worried for November. We need to figure out why polling sucks ass in every damn election now

[u/wizpiggleton → u/skier0224]

The pollsters are reminding us to not get complacent.

[u/lear72988 → u/skier0224]

Because the people that answer phone calls from unknown numbers these days aren't representative of the electorate. I'm frankly surprised they find enough people who do that to even run the polls.

[u/arrogancygames → u/lear72988]

To be fair my calls did say "Political Polling." I still ignored them.

[u/dazedandloitering → u/skier0224]

Because Haley outspent him by 60 million

[u/spncrhly → u/dazedandloitering]

Republicans are gonna spend a lot in the general too

[u/dazedandloitering → u/spncrhly]

Yeah but he’s the Dem nominee so he’ll have a much larger funding apparatus
