That was my point. Very few of you guys can read even though apparently you are all experts at reading polls.

Wow. I've never come across anyone so dismissive of the intelligence of others while maintaining such confidence in their own underwhelming intellect. How many times will you completely and utterly blow apart your own credibility with so many factually erroneous statements. There are more than enough people on this forum that have the proper education and experience to understand 538's methods and their approach to weighing the value and validity of polls. You claim them to be only a data aggregator but the way they choose to weigh and model their data has made them extremely accurate in calling races. The details of that model are proprietary, but there is enough information out there to get a pretty good idea how he does he analysis and arrives at his conclusions. Just because you don't understand it does not mean others cannot.
