Back to basics. There are normal people and there are special interest people. The normal people answer that phone 9% of the time and the special interest people answer that phone 100% of the time.

The polling firms have turned to allowing their selected targets to "Call Back" which means everybody who is called has a 100% chance of making connection with the pollster.

Those who neither answer the phone nor call back 91% of the time, are not queried. Those who answer the phone or call back 100% of the time, are queried.

The final results reported from these polls involve answers provided ONLY by those queried!

If your special interest group is as much as 1% of the population, you will end up queried by the pollsters at least 11 X more often than anyone who is part of the 91% non response group.

If there are three leftwingtard special interest groups, their combined 1% representation will be 3% of the total of the original 100% of people who are called, but it will be 33% of the total of the final 9% of people who answer.

So, what are the odds of being called? Actually they are very high ~ I get called regularly.

Word gets around on some polls ~ Gallup says that for the last year it has been asking for the sexual preferences of the people they contact. I don't think they could hide that long.

By all accounting all the Gallup campaign polls were the MOST in error.

No doubt!

“Gallup campaign polls were the MOST in error.”

Yes, they were +5 in the Republican’s favor. A fact that you mysteriously left out...

Anyways, since we’ve twice dismissed polls showing our side losing, maybe we’d better start paying attention to polls to tell us stuff we don’t want to hear.
