What’s the point of polling the fortune telling ability of voters?

"What’s the point of polling the fortune telling ability of voters?"

True that the lumpen electorate is ... well ... lumpen. But what we can read from it is that ... that portion of that 65% that is democrat will have a tendency to not show up to vote, or even to vote for Trump. And the extent to which they don't show up is the the extent to which the House is within reach. Add to that the Bernie factor if he's the nominee - then half the dems won't show.

I get that over confident Republicans might stay home ... but ... I don't think they will. I think enthusiasm for Trump will make up for overconfidence - making it a wash.

But Alas! What am I but a fortune telling voter? ... lumpen just like the lot of 'em. The only difference is ... I am aware of my own lumpenocity.

Because just asking the question triggers the hell out of some liberals.

Gotta gather a lot of “data” from a lot of sources and with various pre-applied memes if one is to fully leverage the propaganda value of polls.
