Before election day, polls universally showed Joe Biden beating Donald Trump is a massive landslide.
Then, election happened and the vote count is much closer.
Biden was predicted to win Florida, Ohio, and Texas.
Trump won all those states.
There were also massive polling errors in Florida and Wisconsin.
One of the biggest pollsters is Nate Silver, founder of fivethirtyeight.com.
According to the Daily Beast, polling errors were brought up during an episode of the fivethirtyeight daily podcast.
The notoriously thin-skinned Silver wasn't having any criticism of his work and lashed out at the host for even suggesting he made any mistakes.
"F*%# you, we did a good job!”
