I dont believe in science of political partisan polling, however the latest poll has Trump and Carson tied... so if there is so much “science” in polling How come they are off by a whopping 8 points

There was a guy here a couple years ago that used to just fly off the handle anytime anybody questioned the science of political polling, actually there is a guy here now that went off his rocker when I said this the other day.

They actually believe that pollsters do not lie??? It`s not like it`s against the law to make up a phony poll and release it, nobody goes to jail, so quite laughable that so many accept the polls as Gospel.

I studied political science back when I was a youngster and needed a filler class in engineering school. In principle, polling can be agonizingly exact, but this basically amounts to having to stalk the pollees. In practice all kinds of sloppy things and biased methods and secret sauce is used... let’s see what the delegates say, they have the actual last word.
