Tanked? Are you out of your mind? You believe the polls? Jeez louise....
CHeck out LS’s comemnts about polls.
I was on Zogby’s email polling list for over one year, maybe two. There was no way polls could be answered honestly; and it got worse and worse as time went on. The polls I was sent - many - were merely funnels designed to get the correct answers for propaganda purposes.
Unless you see ALL the internals, polls mean nothing - squat - they are less than worthless. You need to know number of people, registered voters or not, regular voters or not, what party, where they live, ages, races, and exactly what questions were asked, precisely. Maybe more details, but those are the main ones.
If you don’t see all that information detailed, polls are nothing but garbage. Taken into account also that many people lie or refuse to answer polls.
Look at the Brexit polls, for instance. They got it wrong.
I look at polls and read widely and quickly as a lifetime habit.
I told everyone widely Romney was going to lose in 2012. Everybody argued with me as you are.
I believe what I say based on polls, articles, lots of conversations and experience with thousands of people from all walks of life over the years.
