Biased polls? Yes...

I think one of the points is that people like nate had the correct data for a while 21 days and more and lots of people, including many members of this site, chose to believe differently based on their own suspicions of bias, and even down into the last days denied the truth even when their trusted polls began to slip.

This sentence is kind of confusing, though no, that really isn't a point, at least not in regards to this thread.

I also get the feeling that you don't quite get what Nate Silver does when using the term "correct data".

Since everybody had the same data... and scrutinizing data sets is only ever a good thing, at least among researchers.

If you'll note, practically all the current coverage is actually just that, analysing why things turned out why they did, confused why republicans didn't vote in higher numbers.

You always have to comment on the semantics. Sorry! He had the correct study results, the correct model.

The way things turned out as they did because they weren't the majority. Not sure what else there is to add to that.

I'd hope something... since it's totally unrelated to what you originally commented on.
