Most polls are just propaganda.

They DO have a reputation. It is that of having no integrity and being bald-faced liars. It has been established as a career path for sociopaths.

“Don’t tell my mother I’m a pollster. She thinks I play the piano in a house of ill repute.”
So, polls are mostly the work of lying liars for the benefit and use of other liars to coverup the lies of the liars running election? Well, who would have thought it???
In real numbers, that translates to 17 points that if added to the 43% that the lefty pollsters say Trump has means his real number is 60% favorable.
The msm and lefty pollsters would cut off both hands above their wrists before they ever published that Trump has a 60% approval from the entire country.
It must make eating their dinners extremely difficult knowing the true results of their polls...loads of Pepto.
Same polls that predicted that we would be talking about Kamalas first 100 days.
Yep, Tagline is still accurate.
I was always amused how many people here treated the polls as if they were actually real.
David Ploof, one of the directors of the Harris campaign, just recently came out and said, well, we had all these inside polls we never disclosed.
Well, of course not, since campaigns are making tactical decisions on their basis. There is a cardinal rule among professional campaign staffs: never talk about the internal polls and never believe the public ones. You cannot forget that and people who are more passionate than objective about the campaign do it all the time.
Some campaigns are so confident in their methodology that they turn off actual polling altogether in the final days of the campaign when the funding is running short, depending on data analytics instead. Hillary Clinton's campaign did that in '16 with results disastrous for their candidate. Polls are expensive and they and the analysis take time, which factors run very short as voting day approaches.
That is not to say public polls are useless. It's never a bad thing to recognize what somebody in power wants you to think.
