Yes, there was a poll right before election day showing Lamb with a five or six point lead over Saccone. But look deeper.
The margin of error in the poll: 5.1 percent
The actual numbers: 51 percent to 45 percent, meaning roughly four percent undecided.
That poll assumed a higher than usual mid-term level of turnout, with a much smaller margin (2 points) if the turnout was lower (which it was).
From the same poll: Trump approval/disapproval: split evenly at 49 percent apiece.
So what does one learn looking at these poll numbers closely? That anyone who thought Lamb was going to win by five points or more was fooling themselves and that the final results are actually pretty much what folks should have been expecting.
If this election was actually being stolen by folks with the sophistication to do so without detection, why did they leave themselves short by a just few hundred votes?
