9. People say they want a horse race

But that's not true, nationally they wanted a red wave, not a horse race. I don't understand really, the numbers never showed a red wave, the national polls showed a horse race. There simply wasn't a huge polling edge for Republicans, yet the Red Wave narrative just took off the last couple weeks.

Dems will likely pick up a seat in the Senate and Reps will gain 6 or 7 seats in the House. And you know what, that's what the polls were telling me all along. Dems didn't out perform the polls in most places, it's just that the media was convinced that Republicans were going to out perform the polls by a ton.

They didn't follow the data. The data was telling them to expect about the results that we saw. Hope ore is written about it.

In EPIC-MRA's final gubernatorial poll, 54% of respondents said they would vote for Whitmer, 43% said they would vote for Dixon. Whitmer’s final margin of victory was 54.5% to 44% to Dixon. The media ignored good data.
