I expect it will be worse (overall) in 2024, but I'll still let most polls play a (much smaller) part in determining my expectations. There are a few pollsters (like Selzer) that I'm going to weight upwards, but what I really need is a guide to which ones these are.

I'm of the opinion that 538's ratings don't do this anymore. They seem to grade pollsters relative to each other rather than against a fixed point, and they do that badly because of their 21-day rule which leads to small sample sizes and omits truly awful polls.

I might try to come up with an alternative, if and when I have time. Any interest in that idea and/or suggestions for the metrics I should prioritise?
