At this point, polls aren’t about GAUGING opinion. They are about CREATING opinion. For that reason, we should be concerned.

True. But we need to keep it in perspective and not be discouraged. In that respect the poster is right. But you are too as they do this to : a) Discourage Trump supporters, b) try to influence undecided and c) discourage money donors who give to anybody regardless of politics as long as they feel they have a chance of winning so they can call in favors.

We need to attack the credibility of all these damn polls. The most reliable is Rasmussen and right now they have Trump and the Beast of Babylon in a statistical dead heat. Wait for the next Assange dump and enjoy the popcorn. :) :)

Anybody remember those “accurate” exit polls showing Kerry winning in 2004? They later said it was an error but I don’t buy it. I am sure it was designed to demoralize/suppress the vote for his opponent. I also remember Dan Rather calling Florida for Gore BEFORE the panhandle polls closed in the Central Time Zone. Again to suppress the conservative vote.

That's why Reuters oversampled Democrats by 15%.

Yes, I agree.

Saw a poll today saying Hillary was up by 14 points in VIRGINIA.

SO .. WHO LIVES IN VIRGINIA .. (I’m guessing) ABOUT 75 PERCENT OF THAT POPULATION IS DEMOCRAT BECAUSE MOST OF THE PEOPLE WORK IN D.C.

SO WHAT DOES THIS PROVE .. THE LEFT WILL TRY TO USE THIS 14 POINT MARGIN TO DECLARE THE ELECTION IS “OVER” ..!!!

DON’T FALL FOR IT.
