minus-squareHyperreality@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-211 months ago I was right when I said that there wouldn’t be a “red wave” during the midterms, in spite of what the polls said The polls didn’t say there would be a red wave. Aggregated polling suggested there was a 42% chance the democrats won at least the house. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2022-election-forecast/ Same thing happened in 2016, when IRC polling suggested Trump had something like a 1/3 chance of winning, but media painted a Clinton win being a certainty. Be more wary of how the media reports on polling.
