Hey Nate, we weren't coordinating with the Trump campaign like I think an investigation could find that Selzer may have been. I control the numbers completely myself, and they are 100% a product of my own work. You should probably retract that.
BTW, I refuse to pay to read this crap, but I'm pretty sure you're going to talk about the accuracy of polls on 11/4 and ignore the fact that they were manufacturing a fake Harris lead all fall (like your model also helped do by inserting additional leftward bias as compared to RCP). We, alone, showed Trump winning the whole time.
Also, funny of you to put this in an outlet that unfairly attacked the unbiased RCP just two weeks ago, which, BTW, was also more accurate than your projections.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
This is Nate Silver's NYT piece begging off Democrat media/ poll bias by blaming everything Republican that moveshttps://archive.is/gduLe
"There’s also a universe of Republican-leaning polling shops, which have been the subject of intense criticism from Democrats. In 2022 these companies had a bad year, contributing to a misleading narrative about a red wave. This year they were mostly accurate. However, one prominent outfit, Rasmussen Reports, was discovered to be coordinating with the Trump campaign and giving them early previews of their results." https://archive.is/ZgXON

I hear the Babylon Bee is hiring new staff skilled in the art of generating fake news.

We will never know how big the red wave could have been, since Lindsey Graham proposal to ban abortions nation-wide after 15 weeks just a couple of weeks before the election.
His timing could not have been worse.
To: sopo
If the polling results are inaccurate then there is no value in sharing them with a campaign.
Silver is a clown and an idiot.
No campaign should want anything to do with his toxic waste.
