You Can Bet On US Politics In 2020 Being Different Now

They got the Scottish Independence vote wrong, they failed to spot Brexit coming and then Michael Moore out-performed them. Political pollsters, pundits and predictors have been almost universally useless in recent years. Anyone taking advantage of US gambling laws to have a bet on US politics in 2020 should, on no account, listen to these fools now. They have no more idea of what’s around the corner than you do. What will dominate the 2020 election is anyone’s guess. 

You could, if they hadn’t let you down so often, feel sorry for political pundits and pollsters. In recent years they have seen the stability and stolid certainties on which they depend collapse. Voters no longer behaved as their carefully programmed computer models suggested they might. Across the world the predictable was disappearing. What replaced it was far more difficult to wrangle. That’s why you can bet on US politics in 2020 to be a bit of a crap shoot for the pundits.

Typically with their finger on the pulse, ear to the ground, and access to the inside scoop, pundits are necessary TV fodder. Padding out the 24hr news cycle with speculation disguised as insight they allow a channel to appeal across the divide. Fox News has the odd liberal contributor, CNN the odd right-winger. However, these people were only ever worth watching when they got things right at least some of the time. But they’re now like the guy who never wins a bet on sports in the US.

Political Landscape Lurches Again Ahead Of 2020 Poll 

Their record has plunged on the back of poor predictions. They’ve played the odds on US politics and been found wanting. Very few saw Trump’s election coming. So, what they needed was a poll this November they could predict accurately to win back some respect. Normally this would be simple. Joe Biden and Donald Trump are easily comparable, the levels of support were pretty constant. And then, well, then the world went a little crazy and made any bet on US politics in 2020 quite risky.
