Pres. Trump has won Florida by 3.5 points.

The polls that got it RIGHT:
Trafalgar - Trump by 2
Fox - Trump by 1

The polls that got it WRONG:
CNBC - Biden by THREE! (wrong by 6.5!!)
Reuters - Biden by FOUR! (wrong by 7.5!!)
Quinnipiac - Biden by FIVE! (wrong by 8.5!!)

Takeaway: the polls that got it RIGHT are within their margin of error; the polls that got it WRONG missed it by TWICE OR MORE than their margin of error.


Tom,

I don't come to R.A.S. for politics. Please stop.


Like it or not, who is elected President directly affects our aviation activities.


If R.A.S. were U.S. only, perhaps. But it is worldwide.
