    Sounds like you’re thinking of 538’s election needle, not polling data. If a candidate has 60% of the votes in a poll, assuming the poll is accurate, they win 100% of the time. The standard deviation on a population this big is practically 0

      That could be. It was 8 years ago and I was very upset. Still haven’t recovered.
