Democrats worry polls showing them as Senate favorites are wrong
The hill ^ | 10/01/2022 | Alexander Bolton

Political handicappers are labeling Senate Democrats as the favorites to keep their majority, but Democratic senators themselves are worried the polls may be flawed in their favor just as they were in 2016 and 2020.

The lawmakers acknowledge the political environment looks much better for their chances than it did on Memorial Day before the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade and the right to an abortion.

Pray for discernment for the American voters. Too many were duped by the scamdemic.

I’d rather that they were complacent.

Political campaigns do their own polling. They’re worried because their numbers don’t match the push-poll propoganda.

1) as we get closer to election day... usually withing 2 weeks... the polls shift from ‘registered’ to ‘likely’ voters. In essence shifting from media propaganda to actually trying to get the final result correct. But....
2) we now have mail in voting in key states and some voters are actually voting on the basis of these BS polls.

Read my lips Fellow Americans/Voters. It’s quite simple.....Democrats, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, & Kamala Harris, are by far....”NOT”....Executives, Leaders, and open supporters, of our great American Nation Republic!!!

Pelosi’s hubby is a drunk, Biden’s Son Hunter, is a drug addict, a woman abuser and criminal,just like his useless father!!! And.....Kamala Harris got left out from getting a functioning brain when they were handed out!!! This, ladies and gentlemen is the gift from no one other then Barack Obama, who never lifted a finger to develop a great Democrat Party Bench for future POTUS candidates...of which there are none....”ZERO”!!!

If American Voters are with it, they will totally destroy the entire Democrat Party on the Mid-Term election Day November 8th, 2022!!! If not......you can soon kiss the USA & your freedoms goodbye forever!! Get with it...folks the Dems must go...all of them!!!

A couple of thoughts.

While reading this I asked myself, when was the last time I believed a poll? Any poll. The answer was never.

I get polls all the time and they have questions like, if the election was held today would you vote for the Republican or Democrat. When it’s that generic people will probably state whatever their party affiliation is. But when it comes time to actually vote they’ll think about inflation and giving the majority to a party whose leader can’t find his way to the podium without someone guiding him. In other words, a meat puppet.

And, lastly, all politics is local. If someone can’t afford the gas to get to work, then maybe that’s because The Meat Puppet has cancelled pipelines and drilling leases from day one. They may pull the lever for the opposition simply because they’re mad as hell and it’s the only retaliation they’ll get.

I’m glad the Democrats think they’ll win. As the article pointed out, they’ve too often been disappointed. That tells me the people taking the polls know, or think they know, what the guy paying them wants to hear.

They should be worried about staying out of prison for the crimes they have committed.
Too bad we don’t have equal application of law.

Yeah Trafalgar had a poll that showed Whitmer beating Tudor in MI by like 53% to 48%. All the Rs are dooming about it but, GUESS WHAT?

The survey respondents are 55% D 37% R 8% I.


The survey is PLUS 17 DEM.

Looks like the RATS are going to need some more banana ballots.

They are afraid the 6% built in fraud will not be enough

Right answer.

People on FR doubt everything the media says, question the FDA and CDC, ignore anything coming from the FBI or DOJ...yet any idiot who puts out a PR statement about a poll is automatically treated as if it was carved in stone and hand-delivered by Moses himself!

Here’s what I think: Most “polls” are manufactured - nothing more than a computer program output that is designed to influence public opinion. The “pollster” enters what the desired outcome should be and the program gins up the corresponding input, including internals so it passes the statistician’s smell test. It’s easy and far cheaper than buying ads or holding events. Anyone can just crank out a “poll” - there’s no oversight or proof of anything, just a bunch of gullible people who set their normal skepticism aside and swallow anything called poll results hook, line, and sinker.

Most if not all the time the Dems secretly know their opponents are not actually hopelessly behind.

Polls are to have an effect as last election in which Michigan’s John James was far behind Gary Peters for US Senate in 2020, so his campaign funding totally dried up.
In the end he lost 49.9% to 48.2% (far closer and reason to donate and speak up for him in the campaign.) That is the best recent example of inaccurate polls designed to destroy funding for a candidate.

Who needs polling anyway when you can rig the counting?
