I remember you specifically posting that the polls had "right wing bias".... I assume you read that in the rag known as the NYT... which was completely wrong. Read about what those turds did...

Every major aggregate, that is, but RCP. McIntyre’s site was removed on October 11th, after Wikipedia editors decided it had a “strong Republican bias” that made it “suspect,” even though it didn’t conduct any polls itself, merely listing surveys and averaging them. One editor snootily insisted, “Pollsters should have a pretty spotless reputation. I say leave them out.” After last week’s election, when RCP for the third presidential cycle in a row proved among the most accurate of the averages, Wikipedia quietly restored RCP.
The Times is one of many outlets that weights against “partisan” or “low-quality” polls, really a synonym for “Republican-friendly.” But there’s no similar downgrading of polls conducted by CNN or the Washington Post or New York Times/Siena, despite similarly obvious editorial partisanship. This is particularly bizarre given what happened in the 2020 presidential race, in which “reputable” polls overestimated Joe Biden’s vote by 4.5-5 percentage points, the industry’s worst performance in 40 years. The Washington Post’s bizarre stretch-run poll showing Biden with a 17-point lead in Wisconsin was a major factor in queering national aggregates (Biden actually ended up winning the state by less than a point).
McIntrye compared the 17-point Post Wisconsin poll in 2020 to a scene from Season 2 of Narcos, supposedly based on a true story. Although the long-entrenched PRI in Mexico was likely to lose, faked news of exit polls showing clear victory was put out early, depressing enthusiasm.
“We’re not going to actually rig any votes, but we're going to release this fraudulent exit poll showing the PRI winning,” McIntyre says. “There’s no question that the polling, if it’s not honest, becomes an information weapon. If Wisconsin’s truly a swing state and the guy’s up 17 points, you think, ‘Well, I guess it’s not close.’

How America's Accurate Election Polls Were Covered Up
How America's Accurate Election Polls Were Covered Up
The Real Clear Politics National Average was removed by Wikipedia before the election and the New York Times denounced its failure to skew data. A solution to the "mystery" of crappy polling?
