Except they weren’t. Every poll presented all across social media was OMG RED WAVE!!
Polls are shit. The only one that matters EVER is the one on election day.
If you got your news from non social media and looked at polls, not punditry, you’d have known the most likely outcome was pretty much what happened, the Republicans won a narrow majority.
Don’t blame polling for your ignorance.
Edit: If you want an interesting (okay, interesting to nerds like me) recounting of the polling in 2022:
You should try stomping around the room and yelling at the screen.

Polls are shit. Only one poll counts.
If Clinton had paid attention to them, trump might not have won.
Even the article you posted has a self-inserted bias.
With what part do you disagree? They post all the methodology and results. Or are you just “this person works in polling so I can’t trust them despite them laying out everything for me to see!”
You haven’t presented a logical thought just “I DISLIKE POLLS” which is pretty silly.
You may not like what the polls say but that doesn’t mean they aren’t valid kiddo. As you grow up, you’ll realize that lots of things that are unpleasant are still true no matter how much we wish otherwise. Throwing a tantrum doesn’t change the validity of polling.
This is like when conservatives deny climate change because it is unpleasant.
Why do you think the polls were pretty much dead on for the 2022 midterms? Just blind luck?

This sounds like a you problem.

Meanwhile, Nate Silver is pissed that Rassmuessen has been purged. Golly.
I’ve read they’ve been dropped, haven’t seen a response from Silver. Is this a social media thing?
Edit: Though if your trying to argue that polling is inaccurate because Nate Silver has an issue with what his former outfit is doing, ooooooooh boy.
That’d be as dumb as saying rockets don’t actually wor because, most of the scientists who did the pioneering work were working for the literal Nazis!
