wbrocks67 is right - it does appear that the traditional, methodologically competent/transparent polling outlets did a good job correcting for error in the 2022 cycle (internally, on the other hand, it appears we overcorrected - but I'm not quite ready to talk more about that with confidence yet). But these outlets also polled way less frequently in 2022 than in previous cycles, so it's possible they just had fewer chances to be wrong. Hard to tell for sure.
Regardless, polling bias is becoming more fluid and I think a model to predict it, while informative and helpful, will be difficult to get right by any metric.
The good news is that polling bias does not affect directional results within a poll and therefore keeps it incredibly useful and valuable for campaigns (and keeps me in a job).
Please keep us updated on your findings internally! Do you think it was a systemic thing across the board (i.e. national Dems, Dem groups etc. also overcorrected a little too much?)
There's also another piece to this - in that there seems to be serious polling biases among certain groups like young voters and minorities. Quite a lot of the polling issues across the board this year came from terrible sampling among these groups. Some pollsters did get it right, so it IS possible, even with small sample sizes. But I think a lot of pollsters need to figure out how to reach these groups. If you get a survey back and it has the Republican getting 25-30% of the black vote in a swing state, or tied among 18-29 year olds with the Democrat, something is seriously off. Though, I think many of the GOP pollsters were just making these #s up. The biggest nonpartisan offender I think was Emerson.
