Discussion aside, wtaf is boingboing.net? I'm even hesitant to click that link.

Reliable pollsters are accurate albeit snapshots in time.
Aggregate reliable polls even more so.
Nate Silver's algorithm is over 90% accurate in its prediction model across thousands of races over the years.
Cook Political Report is the gold standard.
Even internal polls reported by democratic Congressional campaigns as well as the President's team themselves admit they're behind.
They were 10 points up at this time in 2020.
If you aren't going off this, what ARE you going off of, vibes? In one breath you say don't put stock in polls, then point to an outlier? I mean, what!?

So you can't comfort me saying that when Biden should've come out 1 step ahead from that debate, he is not maybe only 1 step back as he has been for ages, but possibly 2 steps back.

How do you not know boingboing.net?

Anyway, that's not the source, but Rawstory doesn't allow ad-blockers, so I linked that synopsis.

None of those, including my link, is accurate enough to really matter, especially this far from the election.

Thanks. Yeah I genuinely never heard of that site in my life. Seems like it's been around since forever, too.

To be fair, it used to be a much better, more relevant site, which I only remember because I've been around since forever too.
