True but look here:

I analyzed ALL polls in June vs. November going back to 1952, and the result is shocking. They were almost always off—about 3 races didn’t change. MOST of the time they were off in favor of the Dem, and big. The average “miss” for the Dems was 13 points, but for the GOP candidate, it was 22!!

Moreover, in almost every race, even those where the GOP candidate lost, he made up a lot of ground. Even Goldwater, who lost by 20, was down in June by 50 (!!!). H. W. Bush had a turnaround of 34 points. These are not minor errors and suggest either total incompetence or serious poll slanting.

Good work. I realize years ago polls are crap when I was on Zobgy’s email polling list for at least a year or two. Finally I quit when he got worse and worse, and there was absolutely NO way to answer correctly. His polls were nothing more than funnels created to generate the desired answer.
