    In my experience over the last few election cycles the polls tend to understate the support of the right wing candidate

    Almost all the polls showed Hillary winning in 2016

    Almost all the polls showed Trump losing in a landslide in 2020, yes the dems got the whitehouse, the senate and the house but the majorities were much thinner than expected.

      Exactly my experience. The poll would indicate a vast advantage of one candidate over the other, then the election shows results that are very, very close calls.
