Yes, sure. But the polls were not so off last time if you really looked at the individual state level.

Nationwide polls are meaningless, due to the electoral college. Were they even off last time? I think Hillary got voted ahead of Trump within the expected margin. Just not in the key swing states.

I would have liked Warren best too and lefty candidates had a lot more passionate followers. That's why it seemed so hopeful for them. But yeah, my aunt on Cape Cod also said, she'll vote for Biden (even though she preferred Sanders) after refusing to vote for Clinton last time (would have made no difference anyway, since her vote would have counted for nothing in a state that was already 60% for Clinton)

I wonder if there are any real movements to abolish the electoral college. It must be so frustrating to realize that depending were you live your vote counts more or less than others.
