Biden Campaign Desperation Sets in, Now Saying the Polls Are Fake

The Biden campaign has a new explanation for its current position in the 2024 election: The polls are fake.
In a complete turnaround from their prior attitude, Joe Biden's handlers are no longer touting survey results but are attacking them. The latest triggering occurred after The New York Times released a series of battleground polls showing Donald Trump leading by large margins in more than enough swing states to deliver a Republican victory in November. That included Nevada, a state Biden won in the contest four years prior.
The Biden-Harris HQ wasn't amused by the numbers, and after MSNBC's Morning Joe reported the results (with some panic mixed in), they responded with the following post.
"Does anyone think Donald Trump is leading in Nevada by double digits, seriously," the over-caffeinated staffer furiously typed in the face of yet another disastrous round of polling for the president. It's incredible seeing the same people who insisted the polls were trustworthy now trash them when it's convenient.
Now, do I think Trump is leading Nevada by 13 points? Probably not, but that's not what's relevant. When you are analyzing polls, you can't simply throw out the polls you don't like as "slanted" while touting the ones you do, at least when talking about non-partisan pollsters. That's called "unskewing," and it's produced terrible results in the past (ironically, for Republicans).
