Size does matter especially when considering sample sizes in a poll
The Coach's Team ^ | 7/8/16 | Kevin "Coach" Collins

The phrase is “psy-ops.” In military parlance what the Democrat controlled pollsters have been pulling on us is called “psy-ops.” Psy-ops are short for psychological operations – messing with your enemy’s mind to drain his will to fight.

Lately the clearest example of enemy pys-ops has been practiced by Reuters who lied by reporting that Hillary Clinton was leading Donald Trump by 14 points. This was supposed to cause a massive collapse of morale among Trump supporters which would have been the predictable result; but nothing of the sort happened.

Oh of course there were those on our side who are so wounded by years of Clinton lies and deceit that they have become blind to the truth that neither of these criminals is the Wizard of Oz and the Clintons can and will be defeated. That panic quickly subsided because of the heavy handedness of the lie. Even those who don’t follow politics closely instinctively knew a spread like that smells like yesterday’s fish sandwich left out overnight. Enter our friends at Gateway pundit.com.

They did some digging and found that the numbers of Democrats and Republicans in the Reuters survey was even more lopsided than we thought. They discovered that while Reuters spoke to 1,201 people 626 were Democrats and just 423...

It happens with every poll......they show republicans % below the actual numbers right up to the final days when they have to correct it to be anywhere close to the actual numbers....

actually there is a study I've seen here at FR that proved it

The primary purpose of dishonest polls is to make fraudulent election results seem reasonable.

-Undecided but Never Clinton
-Undecided but Never Trump
-Truly Undeciced
-Johnson
-Stein
Until polls include the above, each of which is greater than the gap between the major candidates, the polls are meaningless. I’ve followed presidential races since ‘52. Never have I seen so many undecided.

Who cares?

Polls are simply waste of time "push" propaganda.

A waste of space for the brainless ignorant

"I’ve followed presidential races since ‘52. Never have I seen so many undecided."

I think the large "umdecided" numbers are more a product of our present public education systems: they spend years indoctrinating rather than educating, and yet those few who can read are faced with the dissonance between what they've "learned" and what their minds tell them...

Another factor: Plenty of people who dislike polls give false answers just to mess with them. Then there are those (more than you might think) who say what they think the pollster wants to hear.

Our public education system teaches students how to feel, not how to think. Math is their friend. Science is their friend. 2+2=5? No problem. You are appreciated for your effort and get a sticker.

But there are many home-schoolers, Cruz supporters, who have not yet swallowed hard and made a choice.

Public education can’t be blamed for everything.
