That poll putting Trump ahead of Biden in all the major battleground states sure looks terrifying, but there’s never been an election more clouded by the unknown than this one.

A week after Halloween and the scary monsters are still abroad in the land.

Scary polls!

Scary plans!

Boogedy, boogedy!

It was a great weekend for intellectual doomscrolling, to say nothing of galloping paranoia. First, The New York Times comes out with a poll that shows the president is trailing Fulton County (Ga.) Inmate No. PO1135809 in all the major battleground states.

    You are unironically recalling 2016 as an argument that polls are legit?! Lmao

      The polls said the race was much closer than people online or pundits would have had you believe. I know, because anytime I mentioned it online I’d get downvoted and when I mentioned it in real life people would get angry.

        Almost every single poll said Clinton would win. That’s what people are going to remember
