Skewed Polls, Yo: Democrats Slam Nate Silver for His GOP Senate Takeover Production, Saying He Makes a Lot of Mistakes
— Ace

Silver didn't actually predict a GOP Senate takeover; he only said the GOP was a "slight favorite" to take majority control. But even this was enough to spur Democrats into Heretic Denouncement mode.

But of course it doesn't take much to do that. That's their preferred mode of expression these last thirty years.

Democrats aren't taking Nate Silver's latest Senate prediction lying down.
In an unusual step, the executive director of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee on Monday issued a rebuttal the famed statistician's predictionÂ—made a day earlierÂ—that Republicans were a "slight favorite" to retake the Senate. Silver was wrong in 2012, the political committee's Guy Cecil wrote in a memo, and he'll be wrong again in 2014.

Note that the Democrats have cited his predictions just this very cycle, to gin up the base:

[I]n fundraising pitches this cycle, Democrats regularly invoke his earlier prediction that the battle for Senate control was a "toss-up" [.]
But in the memo, Cecil argues that Silver's track record is less than stellar....
In truth, Silver's suggestions that Republicans are favorites to win the Senate matched the assessment of most analysts in Washington.

Silver's tentative forecast is here.

When FiveThirtyEight last issued a U.S. Senate forecast Â— way back in July Â— we concluded the race for Senate control was a toss-up. That was a little ahead of the conventional wisdom at the time, which characterized the Democrats as vulnerable but more likely than not to retain the chamber.
Our new forecast goes a half-step further: We think the Republicans are now slight favorites to win at least six seats and capture the chamber. The DemocratsÂ’ position has deteriorated somewhat since last summer, with President ObamaÂ’s approval ratings down to 42 or 43 percent from an average of about 45 percent before. Furthermore, as compared with 2010 or 2012, the GOP has done a better job of recruiting credible candidates, with some exceptions.

His chart of the likely winners of all Senate seats up for election (not just the swing seats being vigorously contested) has Mary Landrieu's reelection as a 50/50 proposition.

Polls don't mean everything and are often wrong. Still, as between the guy saying "Skewed polls, yo!" and the guy saying "Polls are usually right," I'd rather be the latter. I was the former in 2012, and it was pretty awful.

83 Claim is it's one of those DHS training exercises where they make up a mythical baddie to fight against. The claimed scenario is some bad earthquake in Alaska, govt trying to help, but a bunch of crazed rightwing nutjobs think the govt did it to impose martial law. So it's an exercise in cyber-ops to counter right wing crazies on the internet who say mean things about the socialist government who are just trying to help. .. It's not like DHS hasn't done this before (pick right-wing baddies for their training ops), but until another source can confirm, I'll stick with just well-designed click-bait from Drudge/Infowars.

103 I don't trust any polls, especially national ones which involved geometric complexities and forgo tangible local conditions for methodology.

The phrase "all politics are local" should preside here. And if you consider that as a guiding maxim where Silver shows Democrats losing- it applies. Big-time.

The economic factors alone are enough to move it that way in every race. Add Obamacare and it tilts well in the other direction.

Democrats own all of this situation and can't run from it. There is no blame sharing. There people all have a record of voting with Obama and against the people who elected them. Such is the phenomena of constantly appeasing the god-king with your congressional vote sacrifice. Ultimately, you become the burnt offering.

142 Silver is no real genius. He just has faith in the polls. If polls are bad, his analysis is bad. It turns out the 2012 polls were good. This time...I'm skeptical because there's usually a lot less polling by a lot less reputable places. PPP does a lot of local polling and they definitely push-poll. Because they aren't competing against national firms, they allow themselves to be wrong even with the final count. For presidential polling, you will see the "race tighten" which means that PPP wants to get it right to establish their credentials. Also, Rasmussen is without Rasmussen and they've been all over the map lately. Roller coaster and a real Dem bias compared to Gallup.

Silver's finding that this thing is even close just goes to show you how fucked up and shitty the GOP is at winning elections.

It is a long way between now and the election. The event trajectory does not look good for Demorats. Especially with the bad fiscal/jobs situation and now global events kicking in.

Well if i didn't have to take the extra 10 minutes to get her Her Orgasm, she'd have that much more time. Add in the cuddling and the foreplay and it's substantial.

298 As someone who was exchanging non-taunting non-trolling posts with Dave In Fla. in the run-up to 2012 about the science behind the "skewed polls" phenomenon, I agree with Ace that it's better to be on the right side of Nate's analysis than the wrong one. But if you actually read the spin memo (yes, sure it's spin), I don't think they're claiming what ACe says they're claiming. All they're saying is, Nate's right a *lot* but not perfect, and there were 2 Senate races each in 2010 and 2012 he thought would go R that went D, and that Dems will need to run great races and great candidates to win in this very tough map year. Not sure I'm seeing a full scale "skewed polls, yo!" movement like there was in 2012 on Team Red. If anything, it's to keep Team Blue from the usual early panic at the first sign of distress. *sigh*
