In all seriousness, does Gravis even deserve the shame it gets on here anymore? Can a decent case be made for why they do, post-2018?
Gravis had Republicans winning OR-05 by 23 points. They lost by 13 points. They also had Dems only winning DE-Sen and DE-AL by like 5 points when they won them by 22 and 30 points respectively. That's just off the top of my head. Clearly these earlier polls were not included in Cohn's calculation, which is why it is a fatally flawed metric.
But then CNN had Gillum up 12 points too, didn't they?
I don't really focus on this stuff much, so I'm kind of just taking Nate's word for this, but I thought it was worth bringing up. Either way, I do think it would be wrong to only call out Gravis's absurd polls but the absurd polls from other, generally more well-respected outlets alone.
