Australia Tolls Doom for Polls

In Australia the polls were wrong.

Labour was supposed to trounce Scott Morrison and the Liberals*. Instead Morrisson won handily.

And the polls just weren't a little wrong, they were really, really, wrong.

Brexit, Trump, Australia...the Stroock Effect, whereby conservatives don't respond to polls, is real and it's spectacular.

So when you see polls that show Trump is underwater, or his approval is, say 42%, or he's losing to Biden, remember, the polls aren't just a little wrong, they're really, really wrong.

*It's like the Coriolis Effect. Down there, July is cold and Liberal means Conservative.
