“Think about what that means: The website is saying that a large number of professional pollsters who make their living trying to provide accurate information — and have a good record of doing so — are all deliberately biasing the polls and aren’t correcting for it. Like many conspiracy theories, that seems implausible.”

Like Journalists. Making a living trying to provide accurate information and have a good record but somehow ALL tell the same lie and report in bias fashion

Even if, and I doubt that if, the usual pollsters are trying to be accurate, the greater majority of Trump’s support is not in any of their databases of usual suspects to poll.

The polls, as events have shown throughout Trumps primary, are only able to approach the appearance of accuracy if the contest is limited only to the usual DNC vs GOPe matches.

A large percentage of Trump’s support comes from folks who’ve otherwise given up on the process of elections since they were never represented.

Most pollsters have always lied in an attempt to sway the actual vote on election day. A few days out, they start hedging their bets, reporting an unexpected change in the direction of the polls; knowing that on election day they’ll be shown up for the liars they are.
