Also, I tried to replicate their weight according to the stated methodology. There is a discrepancy here because in one it's mentioned they weighted by 2016 recall vote, but not in the other. From other polls of the same pollster, I'm pretty sure they did weight by recall vote. +

Below is their 2020 national poll methods per Roper Center. Not much different to what a lot of other pollster are doing. However, if you look at the polling microdata also in Roper...+

What would once be the dream of any subjectivity Bayesian -- the popularization of using wagering odds as probabilities, is now becoming a real dystopia... 😫

yeah yeah, but how cool is going to be seeing this in live action 😛

This is some sort of measurement error, just don't ask me which 😅

Did you say "representative sample"?

A year ago today, AtlasIntel said they would deposit at the Roper Center the raw data from their final polls. It's still not there.
Something tells me they will not be depositing that data file, neither the ones from this week's polls...

Believe or not, the New Jersey poll wasn't the lowest point in US elections for the (former?) "American most accurate pollster", AtlasIntel
Take a look at their final poll in the PNP Primaries in Puerto Rico last year:

Poll: Pierluisi +14
Result: González +9

That's a 23-points difference!

l guess NJ is a small demographic subgroup for AtlasIntel standards?

They literally just published a NYC poll two days ago, but sure, why not?

LMAO That's not how margins of error work. They reflect random sampling error (variance), not systematic errors, which clearly seems to be the case here, when looking across polls.
Also, saying with a straight face that what's shady is if the crosstab looks okay. C'mon, you are not even trying! 😅

By the way, in a week this post will be 1 year old and they haven't posted their data to the Roper Center yet... Something tells me this is not going to happen...

P.S. 2: I wouldn't try to argue with me on this

Oh, I see some new weighting variables here. Cool!
And yes, the methods report is the very first thing I look at a new poll 🤓

Interesting result on the effect of presenting a "No opinion" option on this Washington Post-Ipsos poll

Trump is threatening Brazil with 50% tariffs for no reason whatsoever -- It's Brazil that has a trade deficit with the US...

I wouldn't hold my hopes on that:
"We don't need to set any standards given that anyone who is a member or future member of this organization has already established that they are among the most accurate pollsters in America"
Like, they are not even trying 😅

This has to be a joke, right?
