Margin Of Error Asks To Be Left Out Of This

The statistical range said it supports public engagement but cannot keep laundering everyone's confidence.

The margin of error asked to be left out of the conversation Thursday after being cited in yet another poll whose emotional conclusion arrived before its methodology.

In a brief statement, the margin said it remains committed to uncertainty but can no longer be expected to stand quietly beside every number that makes a room feel better.

"We adjusted for age, region, party, and how loudly the room wanted this to be true."

Polling professionals expressed sympathy, noting that the margin of error has been asked to cover everything from small samples to large vibes with the same weary plus-or-minus expression.

The campaign said it respects the margin's privacy and will instead cite a new confidence interval described by aides as "whatever looks strongest in bold."
