Why You Should Ignore the Polls

Dan Pfeiffer: “Two weeks until the election, the ‘Pollercoaster’ is in full effect. Every day brings a barrage of new polls and a fresh wave of terror about the outcome of the election. The polls are tightening in races that seem in hand, and they are widening in longer-shot races in which we thought we had a chance. Even the polls with positive news for Democrats are dismissed out of legitimate fears that they are biased against Dems. Political reporters are relishing the opportunity to make Democrats suffer. On Sunday, the conservative political analyst who writes the weekly Axios newsletter used the term ‘Red Tsunami’ to describe what might be coming.”

“As a person who is deeply concerned about the future of the country and has a tendency towards high blood pressure, this is not a great situation.”
