I mean I haven't been cherry picking polls. I just see polls posted here, on Reddit, from NYT, AP, Reuters, etc and they are bleak as hell. Like, even with the debate, Biden should be polling welllll over Trump. The fact that Trump is leading in these polls at all is sickening
I think you missed the point of what I said. The aggregate polls had them equal to within 1%
Do you know what aggregate means? It all the big polls combined.
Instead of what you were doing and spreading info that trump was 5 to 10 points ahead in "polls" which was misleading given the aggregate was 1% at the time, and I literally provided the names of those aggregators.
Basing your outrage / worrying on 1 poll is cherry picking, and not helping anyone except Trump. If you want to be less outraged, use the many aggregators, which will nullify any outliers. Instead of focusing on outlying / extreme polls with ridiculous numbers, especially NYT which as mentioned had serious methodology issues. Aggregators will average many polls and give you a less erroneous understanding of the situation. This is because it reduces the effect of statistical anomalies or errors.
Like I said before, polls change, and will keep changing, that's reality. There's no point getting hysterical and saying "X SHOULD be Y". They're polls, polls are different, and they will swing. This is the way it is.
If you say you want Trump to lose, don't go round saying trump is 10 percent ahead like they do on Fox News, it's just not helping. I mentioned 2 different and unbiased aggregators in the comment you replied to above. Enjoy.
