    Polls being wrong claim is more about how election results seem to be different than poll results. Special elections points to that.

      Polls have a margin of error and election results have generally been within the 80% confidence interval 80% of the time.

      It is true that when there are less polls (like in special elections) it’s harder to get an understanding of the state of the race.
