(with Poll) [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-11-01 Many of you have likely heard of this data guy, who first came to fame with aggregating polls to predict elections and founded the site 538.com. Well he no longer works there and is instead funded by right wing billionaires to do his own aggregation. Many diaries have been posted on DailyKos and largely based off Simon Rosenberg’s continued input about the “Red wave” pollsters manipulating the polls in recent weeks to make it look like Trump and his campaign are doing very well. And of course this shows up as increased chances of Trump winning in the 538 aggregator as well as Silvers model ( I wont post to his substack). Well now, it seems like he is beginning to realize or at least voice INDIRECTLY what Simon Rosenberg has being suggesting out loud Elections analyst Nate Silver accused pollsters of putting their “f*cking finger on the scale” and “lying” in an episode of his Risky Business podcast on Thursday, arguing that they are shaping their results in presidential election polls to look like other pollsters’. While he (Nate Silver) is NOT saying that this is a red wave pollster effect, he is saying this: Said Silver: “I don’t think we’re going to learn very much in this last week of the polling. In fact, I kind of trust pollsters less, they all, every time a pollster says ‘Oh, every state is is just +1, every single state’s a tie,’ No! You’re fucking herding! You’re cheating! You’re cheating!” Read the summary here: ‘You Are Lying!’ Nate Silver Accuses Pollsters of Putting Their ‘F*cking Finger On the Scale!’ Botom line: VOTE, GOTV, Phonebank, Textbank and contribute anyway you can to WIN this for MVP Harris and the democrats. Also, here is Simons Latest substack article headline and this article also has an excellent video with Tom Bonier: 5 Days Out I Would Much Rather Be Us Than Them - New 2024 Election Analysis and Video With Tom Bonier www.hopiumchronicles.com/… EDIT: Sorry folks, for those of you who need a “none of the above” option in the polls, i am unable to add it in once it is published! Instead, your use of the comments to point it out is appreciated!
