Finally, some real polls. Will this shut up the people handwringing over garbage tier internet pollsters with wild results?

Can't be. Nate Silver told me that Biden's national polling average has collapsed to 7 points, and these states are not suddenly 2-5 points left of the national average. Sorry guys!

I don’t think you understand what Nate Silver/FiveThirtyEight does. They are just reporting and aggregating polls right now. Not making any kind of judgments on what they mean. (Their poll ratings give you a better indication on which polls are most trustworthy.) When the real model comes out, that will be closer to an actual prediction/forecast, but you still have to understand polls are just a snapshot in time and the odds do not imply any sort of guarantee the candidate ahead will win. Just saying what the current probability is given available information.
