> But when the vast majority of polls in Florida showed Biden in the lead, and then Biden lost there by a few percentage points, that’s a polling error.
What went wrong in Florida shows up clearly in the results for Miami-Dade county.
The Biden vote in that county was way down on the results acheived by Hillary Clinton and that then meant Florida was lost.
And in my opinion this shows exactly why polls can go wrong.
In the last days of campaigning Trump ran hard on the idea Biden was a communists, hell bent on turning America into the next Cuba.
That theme resonated strongly with the Cuban-American population of Florida.
I suspect in the early days of polling that Trump fear campaigning was just simmering away, having little effect.

But it really came to the boil on election day.
