The polls that matter are the actual elections, and those results are not (so far) matching up to polling.

I understand the sentiment. I am not super comfortable "unskewing" the polls. But the numbers don't seem to match up with actual elections, and Trump has underperformed his polls the primaries so far

Way more substantial case work in those classes than we've seen out of any of Trump's lawyers, really. Maybe he should try hitting up a social studies class sometime. Or not. He should probably be kept away from children now that I say that.

Maybe, maybe not. As people have been pointing out both sample size and methodology will play a role in accuracy. The thing is that we've seen polls be inaccurate by greater-than-margin-of-error though the whole of the Republican primary season so far. Trump was anywhere from seven to 10 points higher in polls than his actual performance. Numbers in the special elections run since 2021 have all skewed better towards democrats than the polling suggested or from what historical data provided. Maybe a Biden-Trump head to head will be different and I've said in this thread that pretending Biden and Democrats aren't losing support from traditional sources is wishful thinking for various reasons, but I don't see Trump doubling his support in any demographics from 2020.

It's entirely possible, but it would require an absolutely staggering shift in ways that genuinely don't seem to match up to any actual election results. It's entirely possible that Gen Z has suddenly decided they love the fash and hate abortion but it would be a stunning turnaround if so. If it is true we're basically hosed so no real point in stressing out about it.

I remember the LegalEagle video reviewing My Cousin Vinny, and I liked the comment when they have the grits guy on the witness stand that in GOOD witness testimony, especially for cross-examination but it applies generally, it shouldn't actually matter what they say on the stand, as it should just corroborate unambiguous facts you already have.

This... this isn't doing that

Suddenly there was that big of a shift to "Donald Trump did nothing wrong?"

My brain hurts

While I'm not really supporting the polls, and there have been some elections since the midterms in November 2022, I'm not sure I'd call it an overwhelmingly large sample size. And the midterms were pretty inconclusive (Dems did better than expected but still lost the House).

This sounds more like when my history class did a mock trial of the Boston Massacre and the teacher almost gave me a detention for "Goofing around" because the prosecutor started accusing me of perjuring myself because they got their notes mixed up and were asking questions they meant to ask another student.

How do you not have this documented beforehand? HOW? You should have this information! You should have this information and further information to confirm it! Why in the world would you not have this?
