Polls seem to float with whatever bias might be playing at the moment.....and there’s so many claiming they have the real poll.

Polls may at times indicate a trend at best...but as we’ve seen throughout history until this race gets closer to the wire things can change in a heartbeat.

Don't know about your comments, but...

It's polls that [usually] say Trump is the front-runner, and the question of bias doesn't come up unless they are somehow unfavorable to Trump. Sour grapes?

Net favorability doesn't get reported often, or widely, but Trump's has consistently been, and is, low - at least since we got past name recognition and the public became aware of his vulgarity, thin skin (apparently) and savage attacks. And IMO if he is the GOP nominee the media will go after him with everything they can find including his father's remarks when he put him into a military academy, louche comments about the media and, er... a$$, etc. And possibly things that didn't actually happen as well.

FR threads are driven to a large extent by discussions of poll numbers. If they "float with whatever bias might be playing at the moment", why bring them up? After all, the only poll that counts is....
