This is one time when believing the polls you like and ignoring the ones you don’t is quite valid. When they show her ahead, they must be manufactured. When they show him ahead, they would never report it if they didn’t absolutely have to.
The polls you like and trust today will turn into Lucy and yank the football out from in front of your Charlie Brown by November 8th. Pollsters don’t do this because they love calling people, they do this for the $$$$$. There are so many ways to bribe a pollster that you have never even dreamed of, and if there is anything lobbyist infested DC knows how to do, it knows how to slide some cash under a counter. Please be careful not to trust the polls and go vote no matter what the media is saying on November 8th.
I think you may be right as the dozen “bellwether counties” are not being reported. I wish I knew what the current sentiments are in Vigo County, IN and Hamilton County, OH. If they are currently leaning red, I would think in this atmosphere that they would be less likely to be reported.
Until proven otherwise, any poll with somewhat valid internal breakdowns and a history of credibility needs to be taken seriously.
I can count a few times when this was ignored and we lost bad, like in 2006 and 2012.
