And how do we know that? Because they say it’s so? IMO it’s the perfect way to shape opinion and control the psychological state of people who believe they’re actually making the calls. Where are the checks and balances? Wid liberals believe polls from a bunch if conservative media and polling conglomerates? No. So why should this be any different.

Just my 2 cents.

Actually, liberals don’t believe this poll, since Trump happens to lead...so, no they wouldn’t believe it. But liberals don’t believe in a lot of things...and it has no impact on whether or not they are real or not.

The Dornslife poll is done by USC...its a research project as much as it is a poll - lots of students and faculty involved. I’ve never been a huge advocate of conspiracy theories, because I know how difficult it is to control information flow in organizations. If they weren’t really polling people, eventually that info would get out.

Now most of these polls are really just an echo chamber of the pollster’s turnout model. I understand that, and take them with a grain of salt - especially in a year where enthusiasm is up, and there are many newly registered voters who aren’t being polled. But that’s why I like the Dornslife methodology. Take the same group of people and keep gaging their opinion to look for movement. Whoever is ‘on top’ doesn’t matter as much as the direction of movement.
