Maybe so, but I have trouble knowing which poll might actually be honest and which (for all we are told) could just be fabricated like the global warming “data” was. So I think it’s good to maintain objectivity either way, and not let any “poll data” affect anything we think, do, or say prior to the election.
I think polling is one of tools used to influence voting, and while I hate to say it, I think polling sets the stage for election fraud. Every voter that is discouraged enough to stay home is one less vote that has to be made up for by cheating. Hopefully I am wrong about that.

Absolutely true! The polls that are accurate ( or at least attempt to be) are the private ones run by the campaigns. I guess in some sense we may “deduce” what they are finding out by the reactions of their respective candidates. In Hillary’s case it’s clear to me that she knows she’s in the $hit. She doesn’t act like someone who knows she’s winning. OTOH Trump shows a winning face to us all.
You hit the mark. I was polled a couple of days ago. When they asked about the republican candidate the questions started with do you think so and so is honest bla bla bla.
When they asked about the rat it started with he was born of immigrant parents graduated college and so on.
I asked the pollster why are you not asking the same questions for both candidates and until you do, do not call my house
