Better question - when have these media polls been correct in recent elections?

The polls are all wrong.
Conservatives are working, they’re not sitting home answering the phone.
Smart people never answer the phone when it’s an unknown caller.

Better question... Are pollsters trying to gage public opinion or drive it?
I like my question beeter

This - and the SC election - are proving one thing to me: we can’t be complacent. Both races were way closer than they should have been. We’ve gotta urge voting in better numbers.

Polls aren’t trying to accurately predict a winner.
Polls are trying to persuade the voters; polls are trying to manufacture a winner.
And once again, the polls failed in their mission.

If they paid pollsters on a deferred compensation with a bonus for accuracy, the performance might improve.

excellent question and better too.

Polls are ALWAYS wrong..us Trump voters don’t even respond to these idiotic polls which is why whenever I see some poll showing Trump with 38 percent approval, just add an additional 12 points to that and you have his real approval number

No, they just didnt get them right.
Did the polls/media try to make the race closer than it would have been if not for all the attention?

I think this means the Democrats really won . . . or something. These guys need real jobs.

The author makes the assumption that the purpose of the polls was to accurately predict the race... rather than to actively shape it.

I like to tell them what they want to hear.
It makes them happy.
You can actually hear the pollsters, usually young early 20’s, smiling as you answer the questions.
Just spreadin’ the happy around.................
