How do polls work anymore? Back when I was a kid we would race to answer the phone. Now I rarely even look at it if it is out of my immediate reach and don't answer it unless I recognize the caller. Most people I know are like that. If pollsters get a 1% response rate they would be lucky. No amount of statistical adjustment can fix that without overwhelming the actual poll with the assumptions from the adjustment.
Imagine if President Trump told his supporters to answer every phone call they get for a week just so they can answer the pollsters. The Dems in the media would go insane (or insaner) trying to spin that.

I STILL think that PDJT should sign an EO directing EVERYONE to breathe in and out every few seconds.
Amazing the results we may see with people going AGAINST his excellent advice/order.

Also, another problem, is that most people have given up landlines for cell phones. My husband did and he is 55!
