   Neither got a bounce from their conventions. Pundits’ predictions were wrong again.

   “#Harris doesn't get convention bounce, but widens gap with women: POLL

   Other key takeaways from ABC's poll include white men shifting to #Trump.”

     A wise man once said, "Figures don't lie, but liars sure can figure."

     Bill repeated this.

     @mastodonmigration @GottaLaff LOL indeed, it is variation of British Economist Ronald Coase's famous quip: "If you torture data long enough, it will confess to anything you like" haha..

     @GottaLaff Funny how selective ABC is. In the multi-candidate polling their pre-convention poll had Harris ahead by 3. Now their multi-candidate poll has Harris ahead by FIVE. And ABC know the multi-candidate poll is the more accurate one than the two-way poll. So then they run the headline 'no bounce' when their OWN polling shows a SIGNIFICANT bounce :-) Ah, cheating with numbers again. ABC wants a tighter race than what exists
