A modest proposal.

At this point, whether Biden steals the election or not, one thing is clear. The polls were not only wrong, they were outright propaganda.

We do a disservice by re-posting media polls here. They are made up, designed to push a narrative and to suppress turnout.

Those +17 Biden in Wisconsin. +12 Biden in Pennsylvania. +15 Biden National polls were designed to discourage the lower information voters and to make them think voting wasn't even necessary.

With razor thin margins in MI, WI, AZ and NV, giving any credibility to these polls in the future is damaging.

I propose an outright ban on posting media polls on FR.

Only four pollsters were in the ballpark. Trafalgar, The Big Data Poll, Rasmussen and Susquehanna. Every single poll, in virtually every race was a scam.

We shouldn't repost that propaganda here any more.

Well, this morning the dem SoS in MI was almost laughing, because she said it was the REPUBLICAN legislature that insisted on that(holding onto absentee until other votes counted).

If that's the truth...Lucy has some 'splaining to do, as that would make absolutely -0- sense...knowing how Michigan dem strongholds have won so many previous elections by dumping their votes after everywhere else has been counted.

You ain’t seen nothing yet. These asswipe pollsters will continue on their merry way with even more outrageous polling samples. You think Luntz The Dunce is gonna give up his livelihood? Charlie Cook? Larry Sabato? Nate Silver? Not on your life.

The polls served their purpose well. Fundraising and/or voter suppression.

Somewhat disagree. There should be at least ONE thread for mainstream polls. It’s important to know what the enemy is doing. Ignorance is dangerous. Don’t need to cheer them, but need to keep an eye on it.

Started watching senate race around 11pm 50%-60%-70% precincts reported before I fell out, John James held steady up 310k to 340k during all that time.

He's now losing by 24k.

I mean...totally legit, man.../s

“Some witnesses report that these bundles were dropped off election night after polls had closed by white vans and by people in luxury cars and expensive sports cars.”

I’ll bet the evidence for this is rock solid.

Worried about how wrong or inaccurate the polls were is not a concern when you have alligators nipping at your butt.

I could care less about the polls right now. The incorrect predictions are not important today. I never believed them anyway.

What we need to focus on right now is the legal battles required to get Trump the wins in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona, etc. or else everything else is moot.

After Trump and his lawyers secure the election for him, then we can rehash why the polls in this country, like the MSM, suck.

worse...the FakeNewsMSM reported these FakePolls daily, with Biden always way ahead and, even if they did question the validity of the polls (which was rare), they NEVER LOOKED AT THE INTERNALS.

yes amateurs online could check the INTERNALS in a minute, & show why the polls were FAKE.

I don't really have the time, inclination or desire to delve in the internals of the national polls during a campaign when I can see with my own lying eyes that they are not accurate.

I know just by observing a lying, plagiarizing, sexual groping, serially corrupt politician in office for almost 50 years and who has dementia and can't attract a dozen supporters to a drive-in rally that he is NOT leading the most accomplished president in my lifetime who attracts tens of thousands of enthusiastic supporters to his own rallies.

I know the polls are fake but why they are fake is immaterial to me. They're fake because the opposition is not honest.
