They’re not ‘getting it wrong’.
They’re making it up.

I have one of these.

Pollsters get through once... for about five seconds.

A few months ago I was called by a major polling service and I was asked a few demographic questions at the beginning. When i told them I was a white male over 40 they ended it.

Telling lies to these clowns comes easy for me.

I tell each poll taker that I’m a union, hispanic male, with a HS degree and I vote a straight donkey ticket. Also I almost always vote if I’m out of jail and not on probation.

Goofing on the polls is fun.

This is quite the finding by Huffinglue post.
I have been stating a similar belief for quite some time.

There was a story posted here the other day with a quote from a pollster who said he had to make 27,000 phone calls just to get 500 responses for one recent poll. That alone tells me that these polls don’t come close to representing actual voter sentiment.

It's been in my gut too - this suggests we could see a Red Wave in Red America Tuesday. Look when the trend started, right after 2011, when Obama was in office and the TeaParty movement started.

I’d tell them that my vote is none of their damned business.

Look at the Over/Under sample from say 2014. Imagine if all those 2018 Toss-Up races are off by that much - that means the Republicans PICK UP SEATS and we get to see ‘Blood in the Streets’ ... LOL !!!

We are also baiting Democrats by lying outright about our choices.
