        I 100% agree the media wants the close horse race. - ty97 Oct 18, 18:47 2
        
        It's not that they're in cahoots. It's that their methodology is flawed and fails to adapt to a changing landscape, much like Nielsen ratings. - David Oct 18, 19:02 1
        
        The real problem likely won’t be the polls, the media, or the votes anyway. It’ll be the chaos attempt after the election itself. - Qale Oct 18, 20:17
    - R-leaning pollsters have been flooding the zone with polls showing a Trump lead or a tie and it’s moving the needle in the aggregation sites. -- nm - Tim Oct 18, 18:22 4
