What in your opinion is the greater conventional wisdom screwup of 2022?
@benjaminwittes younger voters not being reached by pollsters
@bennettlomax @benjaminwittes Were they? (Honest question)
@Annbass @benjaminwittes my best guess but I really don’t know for sure
@bennettlomax @benjaminwittes My guess is young people came out to vote more than average due to abortion, democracy, climate, etc. But it seems unlikely that pollsters would have reached them much. Yet, I have no idea how pollsters reach anyone who doesn’t have a landline, so there ya go. BTW, I just heard this was the 2nd highest youth (18-24) midterm turn out after 2018. Yet it was still only 27% of youth voting. I’m eager for them to grow up and get to the polls!
