There is something screwy about polling.

In 2018, the last several polls added on this forum for Ohio Governor were the following:

Cordray +1
Cordray +3
Cordray +5
TIE
TIE
Cordray+4
Cordray+5


Actual results:
DEWINE +4

Those polls were 4-9 points too democrat.

Same thing for Florida Governor.

Gillum +4
Gillum +1
Gillum +2
Gillum +2
Gillum +5
Gillum +7
Gillum +4

DeSantis +3

Actual results:
DESANTIS +0.5

Iowa Governor's race, same thing.

Hubbell +5
Hubbell +2
Hubbell +4

Reynolds +4
Hubbell +2
Hubbell +2
Hubbell +3


Actual results:
REYNOLDS +3

I could go on and on. My point is, there does seem to be a bias against Republican vote. I don't know if they weight too heavily on education, or if they poll too many big cities (You call 1,000 people in Columbus, Cleveland and Akron you're gonna get a ton of African Americans and college kids who hate Trump, that isn't representative of the entire state).
