Yeah, so much for these high-quality Marist polls. Looks like Republican polls/internals were more accurate in this race.

Also, can we stop pretending that Remington is a pollster that’s biased in favor of Republicans or just cooks up R-friendly numbers? They actually underestimated Trump and Greitens in 2016 and now Hawley this year.

Yeah, Marist was total garbage. Basically every poll they conducted was massively skewed in favor of the Dems across the board. Except for Nevada of course, where it was massively skewed in favor of the Republicans. lol

And Texas was slightly republican skewed too.

Pollsters certainly have their work cut out for them. While a lot of people might be tempted to say that we just shouldn't trust the polls, we're basically shooting in the dark in some races if we ignore them entirely.

I mean its time to start unskewing the polls by looking at a presidents approval rating at this point and adding fundamentals. Unskewing crosstabs are bad unless they look like complete bullsh**t like Trafalgars donnely +12 poll but unskewing based on approvals should be considered more.
