Honesty
A Monmouth University poll showed Biden plunging in voter estimation. It made headlines. Now the university is backing off. It calls its poll an outlier. In other words, it was wrong. These things happen in the survey industry, especially since people are more difficult to contact randomly than ever. Kudos to the university's director of the polling unit for coming clean. However, the Biden camp has reason to be unhappy. It was a blow to the campaign's effort to keep the candidate above the fray. Even with an admission, the mistake is a reputation hit to the university. It might need to change its procedures to make sure this doesn't happen again.
