It may be that some pollsters haven't fixed issues (e.g. education weighting) that led them to understate Trump's vote in 2016, but 2016 also created a market for some pretty spammy R-leaning polls with strong house effects. — PolitiTweet.org

Which one wins out? Well, we're actually trying to quantify that. But a decent prior is probably just that uncertainty should be somewhere around average. What I wouldn't want to do is take stuff from the 1st list that lowers uncertainty in my model *while ignoring the 2nd list*. — PolitiTweet.org

A big part of why polling *averages* don't have a predictable bias (they miss in different directions in different years) is because different pollsters both overcompensate and undercompensate for their perceived mistakes in the last election. — PolitiTweet.org
