Appreciate that Nevada at least made the footnotes. I understand the Electoral College calculation that determines Nevada could be expendable to a Democratic win, but I fear the trend of election observers writing it off. Of course I'm biased, having worked the last three elections in that state.
I was heartened to read this post by you! I’m curious about your take on this polling by the No Labels party: https://www.nolabels.org/new polling . They make it look very dire for Biden. Politico also suggests the outcome of adding a 3rd-party candidate may be no one wins in Electoral College & the decision gets tossed to the House for a vote. (Which, given the current House would almost certainly ensure a Trump win.) Does the polling by groups such as No Labels fall under your same analysis about polling?
"While the mainstream media cannot tell us what to think about this or that issue, it has a powerful influence on what we think ABOUT... The media’s focus on polling steals oxygen from coverage of why an election matters. And it saps our agency as voters by creating a false sense of inevitability about the final outcome." >>>Any election within the margin of error is also within the margin of effort!

It’s so good to find some humor in with the dreadful news.
Making sense out of nonsense. Thank you.

Polling & influencing public opinion is too lucrative. And corporations like the media only care about profits, not actually informing anyone.
I feel saner already!
