Bingo you asked te right question and the answer is the pollsters are trying to drive the polling info to lie to the public to suit their leftist agenda.

You nailed it. They threw everything they could at this one but came up short. They will pull off a few every now and then.

Your question is much more accurate. In the early polls they push their agenda by pointing to these wild numbers of their guy winning by huge margins. This pushes the public, and dispirits their opposition. As you get closer to election day they start pushing the numbers closer so they won't look so obviously wrong when the only poll that matters, the election itself occurs. Nobody but wonks remember the early polls they were trying to push public opinion with. Is is a scam. We've seen it countless times. If you watch for it, it is obvious what they are doing.
