the pollsters didn't get it wrong. they called it as close. it was within the plus/minus

you righties never get it right... or you intentionally refuse to understand what polling is.

 

[Dr Grump]

Yeah. Almost spot on. With the exception of two of the polls all others were within the margin of error. I wonder if the GOP are worried about the shlacking they almost took...

But people from both sides still point to them.

there's truth to that... but you should be very nervous that in georgia you came within 4 points of getting your butt handed to you in a district that has been republican since just after jimmy carter was president....

and keep having to spend that much money to defend red seats...

understanding... try it.

I know what polling is!

A useless metric used by the politicians and media to sway the dumbass electorate.

You should have given that advice to Hillary

Lololol

The pop-culture definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Democrats depended on polls that predicted Hillary in a landslide and they did it again in Ga.

Not me...a week or so ago they were crowing polls showed a dem win....I just smiled

Other than AJC everyone was within the margin. But it's not surprising they won it. The only surprise would've been if Ossoff won.

Pollsters predicted a Democrat was going to win a seat in a Republican district in Georgia?
