We came within 4500 votes of not having a Cheap Labor Express stooge as our Gov. nominee.

You expect them to “normalize” polling?

Never! They will Never give in.

I don't reside in Virginia, and I never looked at any polling, but Stewart's performance greatly shocked me. All the mainstream media stories I read kept painting him as some super fringe candidate, and I had assumed right up until the vote returns began pouring in that he was a single-digit percentage candidate, that he'd get like 5% of the vote.

Damn, does the media mislead.

Easy not to see what you don’t want to see.

“Researchers have to do a much better job of making sure that they are getting responses from all kinds of relevant populations,” Mr. McKenna told The Washington Times.

The problem is the type of questions they ask which are designed to lead the person to answer the way the person wants who is paying for the poll.

I’m not sure that Stewart, whom I supported, makes for a very good Trump avatar. You see, Stewart actually believes things, and has acted on those beliefs for years without wavering.

Ever since Reagan, most polls show the Democrat in the lead until election day nears.

Then the polls become "too close to call."

I've seen this pattern so many times, I ignore the polls. I think they're all rigged to help the Democrats, like pretty much everything else in the information culture of our country.

No better example of O'Sullivan's law can be found:

"All organizations that are not actually right-wing will over time become left-wing."

[Popman]

I guarantee if polled by a news organization, they will never get a straight answer out of me.

Just to screw up their pre determined bias...

All polls have a bias built in to reflect their agenda.

Either by the way the questions are set up or the demographics they poll.

Now with the idiot Gillespie, the Dems are sure to win

Pollsters had major trouble spotting the surge of support . . . “Researchers have to do a much better job of making sure that they are getting responses from all kinds of relevant populations,”

Do a better job? There are options, but it's tough and expensive. There is no inexpensive way to get the opinions of people who at best hang up and more often (1) share a few choice expletives, or (2) never answer calls from unknown numbers. While I would enjoy the challenge and even worked on (successful) methods of reaching what used to be a small fraction of voters, I'm glad I retired before it reached this point.

The American people and American voters have to realize reality. There are very few (Maybe Rasmussan), if any political polls that are any where near accurate these days!!!

Just one week ago, every political poll taken in the Georgia 6th CD Special Election Congressional seat race, being held on June 20th, 2017, showed that Obama’s pretty boy man servant, Democrat, Jon “Pajama Boy” Ossoff was beating his Republican opponent, Republican, Karen Handel by seven (7) points and climbing. Everyone of these polls was Democrat, left-wing, progressive or media, biased polls!!!

Effective yesterday...all these polls had closed to a tie. This never was a seven point spread race. This tie now represents a “Democrat/Media” attempt to CYA on the polls, just in case Republican, Karen Handel defeats Democrat, Jon “Pajama Boy” Ossoff, which now appears quite likely!!! Fake News/Fake Polls!!!

Folks in the Georgia, 6th CD, cast your votes for the Republican candidate, Ms. Karen Handel!!! Go Karen Handel, Go POTUS, Donald J. Trump....MAGA!!! Help good, decent, loyal, patriotic, Americans defeat & destroy the entire Democrat Party, politically!!!

WMAL’s Chris Plante took callers on the day of the primary and was blown away by the enthusiasm for Corey.

[Bulwinkle]

I crossed over and voted for the Bernie sanders socialist for gov and the Hillary clone for LT gov. I wonder how many others did?
