Nate Cohn and Nate Silver trying to make the case that these polls are good for Trump, despite the fact that Biden +1 in OH would literally be about a Biden +9/10 national lead.
They're making the case that they're *relatively* good for Trump compared to some of the other recent polls. But Nate Cohn even made these points:
Now, I think these are two pretty good pollsters. But we're at the point where the 'good' news for the president is basically the old average, and that's generally a sign things have shifted.
A lot of you seem upset that I called these polls relatively good for Trump. But look, we're at a possible inflection point in this race. There are polls raising the possibility of a true landslide unseen in decades. It's quite important if/when good polls don't show that.
The only poll that doesn't show that is Wisconsin, where this is *one* poll with 13% undecided/other, which is frankly ridiculous. Ohio being Biden +1 is a 9-pt shift since 2016, right at the 538 average. And considering NV's polling history, a Dem being up 6 there is practically double digits.
