Image: This image has become iconic of the consequences of bad polling data: November 3, 1948: President Harry S. Truman, shortly after being elected as President, smiles as he holds up a copy of the Chicago Tribune issue prematurely announcing his electoral defeat. YouGov polling shows that Joe Biden's biggest challenge is to win moderate Democrats.
