FiveThirtyEight
FiveThirtyEight is a poll site operated by Nate Silver. The name is taken from the total number of Electoral College votes available.[1]
The site is believed to be heavily biased: the site uses a very ugly Trump face and a handsome Biden face, and it says "Biden is clearly favored to win this election", 91 to 9. It is clearly biased. In an attempt to hide its bias, it has a fox "comforting" and "encouraging" the "underdog Trump", which is not that biased as the rest of the side. It is a detailed site, at least for liberal Democrats, who usually justify their agenda with the site. This site is basically an attempt to make it look impossible to get Trump re-elected. It also makes polls look biased toward Republicans, which is misleading, as the polls favor Democrats by six points.[2]
