Political Ref's Take Poll Bias Score 125 towards Dems, severe bias, will adjust. Too many Dems, too few men, too many college and post-grad degrees and disproportiontely pro-Harris age groups in relation to Trump age groups.

Political Ref's Take Poll Bias Score 204 towards Dems, or severe bias. Must adjust each biased category and average all results with the original topline. Too many Dems, women, college and post-grad degree holders and 65+. Also too few 30-44, non-college degree holders and men. This sample is unbalanced and will produce an overly Democratic result. After correcting correcting each area, Harris gets 47.7 to Trump 47.8. See work here. Harris 47.7, Trump 47.8   x
MARQUETTE (+5.5 dem avg in last two WI pres elections) 9/18- 9/26 798LV, Party ID: 32D/34I/34R. Gender ID: 48/52 M/F. Education ID: 36/64 BA+/NoBA. Racial ID: 93/3/4 W/B/O. Age ID: 14/21/26/39 18-30-45-60+. Harris 52, Trump 48 x  
Political Ref's Take Poll Bias Score 33 towards Dems, insignificant bias, included in my average. Too many Dems, too many women/few men and slightly too many college and post-grad degrees offset by too many white ID. The biases balance sufficiently to consider the poll reasonable. Included in my average. Harris 52, Trump 48   x
ATLAS INTEL 9/20-9/25 1077LV, Party ID: 36D/30I/34R. Gender ID: 45/55 M/F. Education ID: 47/53 BA+/NoBA. Racial ID: 87/6/3/1/3 W/B/L/A/O. Age ID: 13/23/40/23 18-30-45-65+. Harris 48, Trump 50 x  
Political Ref's Take Poll Bias Score 285, severely biased. Will adjust and average with original topline. Too many Dems, too few GOP, far too many women and too few men, far too many college and post-grads. Nothing to offset. After adjusting, we see that the pollster seems to have already accounted for my concerns because it's the same result, Harris 48, Trump 50. See calculations here. Harris 48, Trump 50   x

Political Ref's Take Poll Bias Score 184 towards Dems, severe bias, will adjust.

Political Ref's Take Poll has a bias score of 106 toward Dems, a severe bias, and the poll will be adjusted for my average. Poll's number is included w/ pollster average, as always. I am adjusting using the gender ID. Party ID is tricky in Wisconsin, more GOP leaners identify as Independent, so I'm not using that. Men voted 58-38 Trump, Women 57-38 Harris. Assuming more likely 50/50 gender split, Trump gets 48.0 to Harris 47.5. Harris 47.5, Trump 48.0   x
