It's not every day we see a polling group admit they screwed up but ... here we are.
Seems Public Opinion Strategies (POS? HA HA HA!) had Biden up three points in a poll NBC News apparently used and guess what? THAT was a big ol' mistake and they accidentally flipped the numbers around.
Accidentally.
Huh.
Look at THIS:
POS (@POStrategies) ~ The polling team extends its apology to @NBCNews and to all those who reviewed the filled in questionnaire of our most recent survey. We made an important mistake on the filled in released today. On the multi-candidate ballot (Q8, corrected here) we flipped the numbers. President Biden is not ahead with 40% to 37% for former President Trump. In fact, Trump is ahead 40% to 37%. The correct data is reflected in the crosstabs and slides, but unfortunately these numbers were flipped in the topline document that the polling firms prepared for public release for NBC. We take full responsibility for a very significant error on our part. Deep apologies. Bill McInturff + Jeff Horwitt.

They're so sorry to have given Team Biden false hope.

Yes ... P.O.S.
Enguerrand VII de Coucy (@ingelramdecoucy) ~ I ... I don’t know how you come back from this fellas. That’s a doozy of a screw up!
NBC is probably super disappointed in them.
Yeah ... that POS felt compelled to correct their mistake.
Uh oh ... they may need to put clo on suicide watch over on the Further Freedom From Thought Board.
