Print this article A group of competing Democratic pollsters came together and offered a mea culpa for their poor performance in 2020, admitting there were “major errors” in their polling, in part, due to former President Donald Trump himself. “2020 was an ‘Oh, s---' moment for all of us,” said one of the pollsters involved. “And I think that we all kinda quickly came to the point that we need to set our egos aside. We need to get this right." The pollsters admitted that together they “saw major errors and failed to live up to our own expectations.” But while they identified some reasons for the errors, they also admitted there was “no consensus on a solution.”
