The Bradley effect is a myth. Like Truman v Dewey and the exit poll controversies in 2000 and 2004, the Bradley effect presupposes that the polling was accurate. In each case, it's apparent from the historical evidence that unreliable polling was the culprit. Just look at how much variation there is in the polls this election - the most heavily polled yet. A gubernatorial campaign twenty-five years ago can't even compare.
