Why You Shouldn’t Let Election Polls Stress You Out

Stress levels, unlike the stubbornly static polling margins, are climbing to astronomical levels as we approach Election Day. I’m getting daily texts from far too many friends about the state of the ground game, biased polling practices, and opinions about why Harris must do this and not that, or that and not this. This isn’t helping anyone. In the many post-mortems that will begin the second after the election is called, it’s unlikely that we’re going to look back and say, “If only we had stressed more about polls every hour of every day in the last month.” The deciding factor is unlikely to be too little anxiety or a shortage of doomscrolling.
