Media polls are deliberately underplaying Republican voters by as much as 9% to give the false impression that President Donald Trump is well behind in the race for the November election, Trump pollster John McLaughlin said on Sunday. Speaking on "The Cats Roundtable" radio show on WABC 770 AM hosted by John Catsimatidis, McLaughlin explained that "The media is polling [all] adults. Not likely voters. If you poll likely voters, like Rasmussen did, where you use a model of actual voter turnout, Republicans, who vote over 90% for Trump, will be one-third of the poll. They were 33% in the exit polls in 2016. When you do [all] adults, there aren't as many Republicans because any adult in the United States could even mean
non-citizens could be in that poll because they're randomly calling cell phones and landlines."

Biden +3 or +5 is about right, the rest are skewed by demographics. Hillary was in that same range about this time as was John Kerry at around +3 - +4. Biden will get a bump from VP pick and convention, maybe. Not sure because the convention is virtual and will not be the spectacle a real convention is. Without the music, the people the balloons etc.. you just have crazy Joe in his basement. As for the VP he has some choices that may not be popular on a nationwide stage. But I expect polls like WAPO to show him up by 20.

In many areas, CA for example, “likely voters” includes illegal aliens.

President Hillary believed in polls.

I predict there will be no debates between Slow Joe and Trump. His people have already set the stage for that, and not too subtly.
And even the dumbest Rat operative knows that Dementia Joe would get hosed in a debate with Trump no matter how many of the questions were given to him in advance. Heck, he’d lose a debate with a fictional opponent because he is incoherent.

I don’t traffic in false confidence based on flawed arguments

Yawn. Who cares? If no one cares about voter fraud, polls dont mean anything.

Polls are worthless. Don’t put too much stock in any of them..

I think he has to debate. Failure to do so will be a strong indication he is suffering from old age dementia. My twenty something daughter believes he is. If he does not debate that will solidify that belief amongst a lot of people. It keeps the door open for Trump to hammer that point home. The “Karens” in suburbia will be bombarded with his flip flops and errors starting in September and may hesitate if they start to believe he has mental acuity issues.
I think they are setting the stage for Trump and Biden to debate from separate locations because of COVID. Biden’s handler can use his blue-tooth hearing aids to feed answers. I also suspect that Biden will only debate if there is no back and forth between candidates allowed. They will also want questions in advance. When attacked in the primaries he did poorly. When they backed off poor Joe he did better.

and they’ll keep rolling out fake polls daily from now until November, as they did for Clinton.

I believe Trump voters are lying to the pollsters. Especially ones like ABC/NBC/CBS/NY Times/Washington Post polls.
