“We don’t really need any other explanation of how these numbers shifted. They MADE them shift.”
There are two reasons why they are doing this :
1> Nefarious : Depress Trump turnout. I have NO doubt that they use these ridiculous D+1,000,000 numbers to get Trump supporters depressed.
2> Semi-nefarious : These pollsters are operating under the assumption that Trump’s comments are going to cause a depressed Republican turnout this election. Now, #1 plays a part in that, but they seem convinced that a lot of Republicans are going to stay at home since they dislike Trump while they’ll all turn out for Hillary as usual.
Bottom line ... ignore these frigging polls.
I agree with you to a degree.
But I also know that most of my family listens to the media and their polling propaganda. I like being able to point out the discrepancy in the methodologies rather than just saying, “I don’t believe that.”
The Founding Fathers were really smart they made voting secret. hehehe
