The reason we generally prefer polls>economy is because different modeling choices on the economy can yield radically different answers (i.e. a Biden landslide if you look at GDP or a Trump landslide if you look at income) while different polling averages produce similar answers. — PolitiTweet.org

So while we spend a lot of time thinking thru different model specifications, it's mostly *not* about trying to maximize fit on past data. It's more about thinking through edge cases and specifications that will be robust under a variety of conditions. — PolitiTweet.org

@BrendanNyhan @jonmladd The fundamentals models have performed **terribly** out of sample and they're also a **complete mess** this year. I don't think this is adequately recognized by you or other people in the profession. https://t.co/uzhRzj9s2F — PolitiTweet.org
