What’s so stupid with polling is we all thought maybe Klobuchar’s ticket splitting days were over and she really might win by single digits. The polls said so. She still pulled out a big win while Harris lost ground. Conundrum.

My guess is that Klobuchar juiced her numbers in the final two weeks with the combination of media scrutiny against Royce White's lack of fitness for the position and Klobuchar's one-sided advertising. The latter is not as valuable as it was in 2008 because fewer people watch ads, but I still suspect it inspired some ticket-splitting that otherwise wouldn't have happened.
