That poll putting Trump ahead of Biden in all the major battleground states sure looks terrifying, but there's never been an election more clouded by the unknown than this one.

A week after Halloween and the scary monsters are still abroad in the land.

Scary polls!

Scary plans!

Boogedy, boogedy!

It was a great weekend for intellectual doomscrolling, to say nothing of galloping paranoia. First, The New York Times comes out with a poll that shows the president is trailing Fulton County (Ga.) Inmate No. PO1135809 in all the major battleground states.

So...doesn't that mean that 538 is literally just the name with nothing behind it anymore?

There’s still some good people. And to some extent, institutions are about the systems that are in place, not just specific people. Quality and quantity is definitely lower, but the mission and vibe feel pretty similar for now.
