Oh good another sweeping analysis piece based on early exits that are even more massively misleading than normal early exits.
Honestly it is depressing when people who should or do know that these are so massively fucked up this year quote them anyway to support whatever argument/bias they hold dear.
Though I do thing the Nates and other poll whisperers could do more to explain why they are especially bad this year and what, if any, amount of back polling can be done to arrive at better data.
Typically the “exit poll” data is only ~trustworthy in mid December. In 2020, massive amounts of Americans voted in different ways than before, with huge schisms in method of voting by party, race, state, locale. The “early exits” are suspect.
Take issuers and readers beware.

She was portrayed as cruel; immune to information her policies were gutting the country; wag-the-dog warmonger; impervious to feminist insights about power; a terrible mother; priggish; self-satisfied; unable to see past her own (verion of her) biography...
and, if we had any doubts, the soundtrack was full of songs like "Stand Down Margaret," which is a concise evisceration of her regime.
She didn't want to hunt, and found the Windsors foppish, so there's that...
Cheers to this guy, who had a spread of wine and cheese and fruit and...crows

1/ Glad to see that the @washingtonpost is covering the disastrous decision to have an indoor wedding of 200, and the @NYTvows insane decision to break its own COVID protocol in covering thelily.com/indoors-with-2…
2/ the @NYTvows is a medieval, white elitist legacy entity and, even though they now cover weddings of POC and plebes, on occasion, that they would put their own staff at risk and help facilitate a terrible example is grotesque.
3/ though these pieces are not outright paid announcements, they might as well be. The paper should put its reporting and photo resources to...anything else. This is some gross stuff from a bygone era, and now a superspreader event that the newsroom should track.
