The Biden team has taken up a position that winning campaigns don’t take: Claiming the polls are wrong and that they are actually winning.
My colleague Bonchie pointed out earlier this morning that a Biden campaign account posted a clip of Joe Scarborough ranting about how the New York Times/Siena College poll has “has consistently slanted toward Donald Trump” and that “The New York Times will release their poll, the political and media class will run around with their hair on fire, and then three days later polls will show a deadlocked race.”
It is one thing for a pundit to make the claim that a particular poll, especially one that has actually been one of the most consistently correct in recent years, is skewed one way or another. It’s one thing for campaign surrogates to make that claim. It’s quite another for a clearly marked campaign account to push that claim.
As Bonchie…
