If Joe Biden had claimed that he redesigned the hulls of Coast Guard cutters, we'd be way over in 25th amendment territory.
With Trump, it's so common that most Americans don't even notice it now.

Trump during his Thanksgiving call with service members: "We're ordered a lot of Coast Guard cutters. Brand new, beautiful, the best machines in the world. I'm a looks person. I wanted the hull to be perfect. You know, I sort of redesigned the hull a little bit. The hulls. But we ordered a lot."

Under President Trump, electricity prices are surging — up 11%! — leaving millions behind on their utility bills, with past-due balances at an all-time high.

Small business owners like John and Lisa are hurting as Trump’s tariff taxes raise their operating costs and health care premiums skyrocket. Without action, many will be forced to close their doors or cut staff.

Trump has failed on the economy.
He’s failed on health care.
And now these Trumped-up revenge prosecutions failed.
Total humiliation.

New CBS poll has Trump as 60% disapprove vs. 40% approve
His handing of the economy and inflation has really taken a hit
Much of the election results this month could be explained by that alone

You do know that this being a US plan only makes it worse, right? Like, at least if it was Russian it would make sense that it would pretty much give them everything they want. Jesus, what a clusterfuck of an Administration.

For reference, it took Selzer 12 days after the election last year to produce and release a full post-mortem of her infamous poll.
Given their background on methodological transparency, I'd be very surprise if we see anything remotely similar from this so-called "America's most accurate pollster".

AtlasIntel, the self-proclaimed “best pollster in America,” missed last week’s elections by an average of 9 points across races and by 14 points in New Jersey.
Back in June, I wrote about how their accuracy in 2024 distracted from bigger methods issues: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/the-best-p...

What makes the “best pollsters” of 2024 so accurate?
Primarily it’s a mix of experimentation and biased estimates that get lucky

One of the best Green Arrow runs of all time.
This was such a fun team on such a fun book.
Facebook showed me this little mosaic of @juanferreyra.bsky.social's GREEN ARROW REBIRTH I made nine years ago (!). I used to put these together to promote every new issue on Twitter (RIP). Working on this book with Juan and @benjaminpercy.bsky.social remains one of my favorite jobs. It was so fun.

Sanders gets it.
Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

I sent letters to by my Senators urging them to move to remove Schumer from his leadership position among the Senate Democrats. I urge everyone to do the same. He is an ineffective leader for an important moment in the history of our nation.

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.

I've been calling AtlasIntel's poor (to say the least) methodology out since after the 2020 elections, when it was not a popular thing to say. I'm just glad you all caught up and we are all on the same page now!
be careful with pollsters who invest a lot of time and money into marketing based off single election performance, and don't appear to take methods too seriously

I know I've been saying this since after the 2020 election, but I think we can finally agree on that, right?! RIGHT?!?
