Well, even though they are nationally recognized, scientifically based and time proven methods of determining voter sentiment, since you have called media polls outright propaganda I am much relieved and we can all dismiss them out of hand. Thank God, I feel so much better now.
I agree with you that Trump’s ground game will come nowhere near Hillary’s. I also acknowledge that the disdain for the polls expressed here on Freerepublic also happened in 2012. However, one source of hope is that Trump may have energized a lot of folks that usually don’t vote. If so, then the polls would probably not pick them up as likely voters. The flip side of that argument is that the polls may be identifying likely voters on the other side based on their participation in 2008 and 2012, and I think its pretty clear that Hillary will not match Obama’s ability to turn out the Democrats. Election night will be very interesting. Whither the Republican Party if Trump carries Pennsylvania but does not carry the suburbs of Philadelphia?
Nathan, you know that polls are used by the msm to shape public opinion, not reflect it in an accurate fashion.
That is the very definition of propaganda, and it is very effective.
We cannot ignore polls, but you can't give them too much validity especially when there are many conflicting polls.
And get the hell off your "smarter than thou" position, you are still pissed that your guy got skunked, and I don't care that you are feeling so much better.
Jagoff!!!
