Many people discount the value of national polls. Correction....many people, whose candidate is not in the lead nationally, discount the value of national polls. Those people nationally all live in one of the 50 states. It may not be a one-to-one ratio, but it sure indicates a trend, or they wouldn’t do the poll. And ask any of the other candidates which position they’d rather be at this point in the process...where DJT is, or there position?
That’s not true either......man understand what polling is about....and therefore do not put the “value” polling wants to have in determining the race.
I agree that it “might” at times indicate a trend...but even then considering how few they poll to the actual voting population is almost laughable.
Like the media...’pollsters’ want the ratings and engagement they get.....and it feeds the media as well as the public who likes to bet on who is to win place or draw.
Ted Cruz is always surging and Donald Trump is always leading. :-)
