Of course Atlas is buying this poll Sanders losing VA by 6 is about as believable as him winning OH by 8. But whatever feeds people’s narratives, I guess.
Any poll showing Georgia voting D - "TRUTH!"
Any poll showing something that contradicts my narrative - "JUNK"
Well, a Democrat winning Georgia is at least plausible, even if Trump is favored. A Democrat losing Virginia goes against pretty much every election result of the past decade, unless they’re losing very badly. Now, if multiple reputable pollsters showed the Democrat down in VA in September/October and also showed Trump ahead in the PV, maybe then VA could conceivably go for Trump, but there’s no reason to believe that VA is in danger in a close race.
