Really excellent in depth interview of Robert Barnes covers polls, election history, best indicators of results.
It is 40 mins. long; but worth every minute of it. An education that it would take years to get on you own.
And best of all he breaks down in detail why Trump is definitely going to win.
I took the time to watch the video—excellent link—many outstanding points I had not thought of, and I consider myself a bit of “flawed polls” geek.
He was correct to remind us that international polling has been a disaster as well—the polling industry needs to disappear—it is a nuisance at best and dangerous propaganda at worst.
I think they keep the senate and take back 10 or so house seats.
One excellent topic covered by the video—all over the world pollsters cannot accurate record the views of blue collar working people.
Polls tend to reach the teachers and the librarians and the self-appointed “activists”, not the plumbers, carpenters, electricians etc.
One other topic—there is a lot of evidence the “activists” will tell the pollsters they support Biden, and then they will no-show on election day because they think Biden is an uninspiring old man and a tool of the corrupt DC establishment and corporate America.
You are so right. While I have been on Free Republic for many years I have never started a thread and never wanted to. I do reply to threads and include interesting info I have.
But, these Barnes, Baris, Basham university level “classes” were so outstanding and provided so much relief, I asked a freeper here how to start a thread...:-)))

Exactly, and they count them as "blue collar workers". They don't vote that way. They also count Barista's at Starbucks who have a college degree or are working on one as "blue collar". Again, they aren't and they vote like the educated liberal class that they are. One of those responses, count as 100,000 blue collar votes in the poll and then they wonder why they got it wrong.
Thanks. That was really good.
He has the Rum Diaries by Hunter S Thompson prominently displayed on his book shelf. Very funny.
“I’m so impressed. Perhaps you can summarize.”
You can’t become an expert by reading summaries. Take the full course. You won’t regret it.
I see that you have not changed since the Waco days. See you.
Those pollsters are the ones Rush mentioned on Friday’s show!! Same ones I listen to!! They give you peace of mind! I believe one of them was mentioned by the prez too! Can’t remember which one though.
That was Trafalgar (again great record in 2016 and 2018) and speaking of him yesterday he said that the “shy” Trump vote is twice the level of 2016.
All 3 of the pollsters who have said it is higher this year than 2016 have said that they do not adjust for it. So we should see it on Nov. 3
“I see that you have not changed since the Waco days. See you.”
Yep! Still anti-gangsters.
Thanks Cathi
good job, great link.
So be assured, Biden is not leading at all, especially by double digits. That narrative is utter nonsense.

Great vid. Thanks for the tip.
The senate is the key if Trump somehow wins. With the senate he can still get nominees confirmed, judges confirmed etc
