(Barbarian observes that polls called the vote very closely)
Barbarian observes:
Not at all. Those polls were for popular vote. And as you see, they were rather accurate. The polls showing Trump's rather marked decline in support are also popular vote, not electoral vote. So yes, they very likely are quite accurate as well.
If you didn't want to know, you shouldn't have asked. Notice the polls for the elections since have also been quite accurate, in Virginia and in Alabama.
This is why there are so many republicans in Congress, who have decided to retire; they recognize that unless Trump can turn things around, and stop shooting himself in the foot, 2018 is not going to be a great year for the GOP.
It's precisely because the polls have been so accurate that so many republican congressmen are bailing out. No electoral votes in Congressional elections you know. And Gerrymandering only goes so far.
Sure, barb, sure. Whatever you say, barb. I'll wait to see what happens in the future, especially with the events that are set to unfold in the near future.
