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 $$$ our candidates get 2. Allow cover for the Dems cheating 3. Potentially decreases voter turnout
If contacted, tell the pollsters who you like and let's get accurate numbers out there.
Why do that?
We have too many conspiracy...I’ll just say folks...on our side. They are not going to send military men to your door because you prefer Blake Masters over Kelly. Come on man!!!
Then they are stupid. That has nothing to do with the polls. Anyone who believes polls are the problem. You go out and vote for the candidate you prefer, regardless of what the polls say. If you learned nothing from 2016, then you are part of the problem, not the ones who are dishonest to pollsters.
I do not lie to pollsters. But neither will I participate. My views are my own private business. Except when I share them here on FR, of course!
Why though? Do you think that accomplishes anything? That’s the whole disturbing mindset of trolling the other side is better than advancing our agenda politically. I’m glad it gives you a chuckle...you won’t be laughing when Dems win statewide where you live!
“Harold Stassen is my man.”
Sharing them here accomplishes very little. Skewed polls actually work against us!
“Fake polls only help the Dems and allow cover for the cheating.”
I just don’t buy that. No poll has ever affected my vote, or discouraged me from voting, etc.
Elections have ALWAYS been the REAL polls. And Democrats will ALWAYS cheat.
2016 is not the norm!!! The polls were “correct” in 2020 were they not. People believed the election was legit because the polls said they were. Also your candidate will not get $$$ if polls show they are trailing by a lot!
I agree.
It affects many voter’s choice. You are a right wing conservative as are most of us on this site. Moderates and Independents sway elections and they look at polls.
I think conservative/MAGA people are keeping their mouths shut because they don't want to be labeled as white supremacists, and they are going to make their voices heard on election day.
Republicans hang up on pollsters, we’ve got better things to do.
I’ve addressed this already. It’s a faulty mindset.
Yeah, it is coming to that.
After the 2020 election, a democrat activist group tried to publish a map of the address of every person that donated to Trump.
Why would they do that unless they were planning violence?
Yes, there are too many conspiracy theories on FR. But saying that democrats want you dead, and will use any means to find you isn’t one of them.
Like lose elections! We have to participate like the Dems do...match their intensity. I hate this “ive got better things to do” mentality. It’s why we lose time and time again!!!
I don’t trust the polls, so will either decline to participate or just tell them I’m undecided.
Ok fair enough. But prepare to part ways with $$$ to help underfunded candidates. If we refuse to participate and think that just going to the voting booth is enough...we lose every single time! The other side has mobilized and controls the pillars of power...we need to do much more than we do!!!
“But those like the “conservatives” in PA will not vote for Oz especially if they perceive he is down by too many points.”
The election in PA will be decided by how many votes they gin up in Philly and Pittsburgh, not by conservative turnout. And that most definitely DOES represent the “norm”.
Only if you buy the "BIG LIE" that is was the most fairest & free election ever. I do not buy that big lie. Apparently you do. Biden got 81 million votes. Riiiiight. 😋
