tl;dr: a good rule-of-thumb is that partisan polls are biased by 3-4 points in favor of the party the group supports (closer to 3 points for POTUS and 4 for Congress). Our presidential averages had been adjusting them by 5 points, though, so we've scaled that back slightly. — PolitiTweet.org

That's because the previous adjustment was based on our study of campaign *internal* polls released to the public (i.e. if the Biden or Trump campaigns released a poll). Those tend to be more biased than the broader universe of partisan-affiliated polls as we now define them. — PolitiTweet.org

As a result of the adjustment, Biden has gone from a 72.6% chance of winning the Electoral College to a 72.5% chance in our forecast. So, yeah, not a big deal. But we wanted to disclose it nonetheless. — PolitiTweet.org
