It doesn't predict anything. It weighted the point results form the various pollsters. It was to show how wrong they were. Notice the top 2 results just so happen to be the ones I keep mentioning that got the 2016 election correct?

LA Times
Rasmussen

As far as I know, the pollsters are still using the same methods. I just posted a poll result where Gallup is definitely using the same methods.

Rasmussen is DEFINITELY a conservative pollster. If you see some of their tweets, you can tell they are conservatives (not necessarily Republicans, but conservatives). So why does it take a conservative bias to actually get the polling correct?

Don't know.

They just got lucky with the last election. They aren’t known for being great usually. Just their conservative slant happened to coincide with Trump winning. I think their main issue is that they don’t call cell phones, only land lines, so they get predominantly older. Worked out for them because last election young people stayed home because they didn’t like either candidate.

So based on this page, it's still up in the air.

According to polling Biden is a heavy favorite. Both in swing state specific polls and national polls. But with how 2016 went people are understandably skeptical of polling so we just have to wait and see

It'll be closer than 2016,; I still think Biden will win.

I'd say from our interactions you, eThneoLgrRnae and Surtur are more on the right wing of the spectrum of US politics. And maybe SqualX.

Ethneo, Fly and Broly (different kinds of extreme right)

Squall X, Surt extreme in different ways but more moderate than the first 3

Silent Master and DDM more moderate and have some liberal ideas, but still very extreme.

Hitler if he were a poster

Then a big gap to the moderate and reasonable right of badabing and snowdragon.

Then the centre right of Imp.

and then the rest of us, who're mostly centrist if not counting KMC side of things

Just what positions of mine lead you to believe I'm right wing?

I don't remember specifically what made me think so, it's just a feeling I got. Might just be cause I got a bit of an antagonistic vibe from you. If you don't view yourself as right wing, I apologize.

I've taken multiple political tests and posted the results, which have always been left of center. I supported Bernie in 2016 and Tulsi this time around.

I even answered a long list of political questions DDM posted a while back.

Edit: The only thing "right wing" about me is that I don't agree with far-left extremists that think the 1st and 2nd amendments should be abolished.

Cool. Are there many people that think the first and second amendment should be abolished?

Not openly, but you can usually tell by how they support people being deplatformed and are always talking about banning certain guns.

Oh right, yeah I guess there definitely are a lot of people that do think there should be limits to the first and second amendment.
