    A fair assessment as to why polling may be unreliable. However keep in mind this thread started as a rebuttal of blind anecdotal enthusiasm in a social media post. The story is ‘someone posted on social media that Florida looks like Harris country’, and they posted that polls suggest that post is too optimistic. Polls may be imperfect, but the methodology is far closer to informative than “I saw some Harris campaign signs around”.
