Separately, it is odd to depend so much on this test given the huge amount of data that NBC/Marist has to work with! They have 9 final polls from '18, more in previous years. Would they have fared better with education weights? That's testable and far more generalizable. — PolitiTweet.org

Third, it's still just one data point, even if it's generalizable and perfect. Polls are noisy and so is the effect of education. Sometimes, weighting by education makes a poll less or more accurate, just by chance. The reduction in *bias* is only evident over many polls — PolitiTweet.org

And I would sure think they would want to consider that data: the NBC/Marist poll was the most biased poll toward Democrats of any survey that conducted more than 6 polls in 2018. Do these solutions fix McCaskill/Donnelly leads in final '18 polls? What about Evers+10 in Oct? — PolitiTweet.org
