I've seen multiple posters bragging about how they lie to pollsters...how does this benefit our candidates in any way? This results in lopsided results skewed towards the Dems that:
1. Decreases the amount of $$$ our candidates get 2. Allow cover for the Dems cheating 3. Potentially decreases voter turnout
If contacted, tell the pollsters who you like and let's get accurate numbers out there.
I LOVE giving bogus answers when doing polls.
The only pollster I’d talk to would be Richard Barris and maybe not even him.
Listen to Richard Baris and Robert Barnes - they point out that most of the Senate polls overstated Dem advantage by 7 plus points in 2020, it appears to be deliberate to keep R enthusiasm and participation down.
Again...why?
Maybe not deliberate as folks like the person up top apparently love providing fake answers.
“Hello, would you like to take-”
*click*booooooooo*
Pollsters would tell accurate numbers to Democrat operatives and publish numbers with Democrats winning to discourage Republicans, that’s why.
They gave the Democrat voters a sense of no concern,. That the election was in the bag. How many decided to not go cast a vote? Suppress the suppression pols. 🙂
I’d assume Dems hang up as well, but less likely as they jump at any chance to tell people their political beliefs.
I agree!
The main reason in my view is to prevent them from knowing what’s really going on and what will happen.
The people in power always want to know what’s going to happen ahead of time (not bringing a piece of legislation to the floor until they know they have the votes to pass it, for example). Because they want to affect what’s going to happen or mitigate what was going to happen.
All the pollster had eggs on their faces in 2016. Because the electorate was so fluid and the pollsters were so biased that they were shocked on election day.
I like the ruling oligarchy and also pollsters being shocked on election day. We’ve already seen it in several races in the primaries this year.
That’s not going to fly in 2022. This is a close election and both sides know it. But those like the “conservatives” in PA will not vote for Oz especially if they perceive he is down by too many points. And the polls in 2016 were correct nationally but off in the swing states. We have to stop citing 2016 as if that represents the norm.
The reason to lie to pollsters is: “Do you think they actually keep that information secret?”
If they know your telephone number they can get your address from the woke telephone provider. Better to lie or not answer the pollster than to have shoot down hordes of ANTIFA thugs attempting to storm your residence.
It is just that simple.
I don’t lie to them, I just refuse to participate.
2016 isn’t the norm though. Both sides know this midterm will be close. Fake polls only help the Dems and allow cover for the cheating. The polls were “correct” in 2020 were they not??? Ponder that.
... well....
As someone who has inflicted walls’o’text on the world I don’t boast against them in that regard.
As an aging whit guy in flyover country, I lOVE deking pollsters. Often, I’m a young black woman who votes Republican...but sometimes I’m a Jewish woman or Cuban male voting FOR communism-related things. Sometimes poor, sometimes rich...anything to sew their demographics the wrong way.
