... and that's on top of the party elite considering you to be a racist if you happen to be white. Yeah, being labeled and "ignorant racist" makes me want to vote for your candidate. No surprise that pollsters get ignored.
A friend recently took a pollster call regarding the GA 6th District race, the special election for the seat opened up by Tom Price joining the Trump Administration as HHS Secretary.
He told the pollsters who his first choice was (Handel IIRC), and when asked who his second choice was, told them Jon Ossoff. Well Ossoff is the Dem candidate in this open, no party primary, massive field special election, and in reality, there are more than a dozen candidates in the race this guy would vote for, before he would vote for Ossoff. In fact, he would write in a name before voting Ossoff.
Do NOT underestimate the effect of large numbers of people messing with pollsters.
See my previous for some anecdotal insight to part of what has been going on with polling.
The Progs will never get it. You lost the election for one reason. You ran a sack of crap, lying, corrupt, criminal, Hillary Clinton.

And now, all that political inbreeding has exposed them as the irrational humans that they are.
Either that, or Democrats have been photo-shopped in and it has all been a joke.
I always lie to pollsters.
When they are automated, I am a 43 year old, hispanic, demonRAT, lesbian, that hates Trump and loves hildabitch and hiawatha.
The other side of the failed polling results by sampling by state population, i.e. kalifornicator and ny will always skew the results toward the demonRATS, but pollsters don't adjust them because that is the result that they want to see.
These dumb bastards fool themselves...on purpose.
>> The party didn’t just lose among rural white voters on Election Day
The Democrat Thug Party got hammered. And whatever ‘winning’ support it garnered came from the illegal urban vote.
The vast majority of counties in New York went for Trump.
You know--Those people that DemocRATS despise.
If you look at it from a “makers and takers” perspective, the Democrats offer nothing to the makers, or those who want to be makers. Statistically, there are more takers than makers, so Dems still have a chance, provided they can get the takers to the polls.
Emotionally mature people never answer phone calls from strangers, especially pollsters. Liberal moonbats, on the other hand, will trip over each other to take a phone call from anyone. There’s your blind spot.
I believe you’re right; when Hillary is pandering for black votes in the Deep Ghetto (Philly) the day before the election, while Trump was heading out to Dem states, it was clear both knew what was happening. The media’s attempt to create an air of invincibility about Hillary failed miserably. In the end, for every whiny feminazi weeping in NYC on election night, there was a woman elsewhere cheering Trump’s win.
At some point Dems might figure out it isn’t worth criminalizing “whiteness”...
Progressives know and believe that if they want something hard enough, it will come true - like from a materializer on star trek. Thus there is no need for polling those they deem unfit for the future.
Poor democrats. It is scary not knowing why you got beat at the polls when there is no reason why it should have happened. Almost like the republican right has a cloak of invisibility that needs to be rendered useless.
“The folks who would talk to a stranger about politics just aren’t representative of people who wouldn’t”
When people are labeled “ignorant racists” whenever they deviate from the Democrat Party Line, they tend not to answer political questions from strangers. This article makes the ignorant, racist assumption that these people are all ignorant racists, i.e., in Leftspeak, “rural white people without college degrees”.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
The democrats still don’t get it. The pre-election polling was fake. They were designed to create the impression that Clinton was going to win, in the hope that creating that impression would create that reality.
++++
Spot on and my take as well. I don’t buy the premise of the article at all.
Phony, wishful thinking, Dem-oversampled polling that was obvious to the average Freeper is what really went on. And that’s not something the Pollsters are willing to confess to since they plan to use that same technique in 2018. And 2020 and 2022 and ...
I do not answer calls on my phone from numbers I do not recognize - especially from area codes like DC, NY, Chicago and LA. If it’s important enough to them they’ll leave a message and a call back number. If it’s important enough to me, I’ll call back.

Yesterday was first voting day to fill the GA seat vacated by Tom Price.
Local Democrats could not find a qualified candidate. So Nancy Pelosi’s faction chose Congressional staffer Ossoff who didn’t live in the district. Pelosi is spending big, both on Polling, TV, and ground game.
Ossoff is polling 40%-44%, impressive in a field of 18.
Dan Moody, candidate of the governor and establishment Republicans is spending the most of any Republican, is on TV almost as much as Ossoff, and has only 2%-5% in 5th or 6th place behind other Republicans who are spending little.
Trump carried this 6th District in a squeaker. But Tom Price carried it with 60%.
How accurate are the polls? Each media source reports a different number for each candidate from exactly the same March 22-23 Fox poll. So not only are the polls in question. But the media reporting on those polls is in question.
There was no serious attempt to convince some Republicans to drop out. Thus the vote of many Republican factions is split.

This is a slur that many salesmen have used for decades. When the person say something like “my dad always drove a Chevrolet” the salesman comes back with something like, “let me guess that he probably had a high school diploma or less. A GED? We see that Chevrolet is very popular among those without higher education.”
Mattresses, cars, life insurance all have been sold by implying that the competitor’s adherents are ignorant, uneducated people.
Ignore it. Its just a tactic.
