The polls were right in 2018. I don’t want to hear spin about Trump not being on the ballot then.

Really doubt that rational, decent people will accept an unsolicited call from a stranger and then discuss their personal politics with that stranger. They just don’t answer or hang up. The polls are structurally flawed. Also pollsters know how to please whoever pays them.

Trump supporters are even more secretive than they were in 2016, making polls less reliable than before. I refuse to answer any questions regarding my voting decisions.

Of those surveyed the self-described political affiliation was 47 percent Democrat and 41 percent Republican, a six-point swing favoring the DNC media’s preferred candidate.

He seems to think a legitimate poll would have equal numbers of Democrats and Republicans. There's no logical reason for that. That doesn't mean that poll is accurate, but his logic is wrong.

The media are MARXISTS. Its their revolutionary narrative that matters not truth.

They don’t care if the polls are right... The polls are just a tool they use to impact an election

People who answer polls want to be polled. Many Trump supporters avoid or hang-up on pollsters, or lie when polled. NEVER let them see you coming.

My theory is that anti-Trump polls are the established media’s way of making the Presidential election more of a rat race.

A ton of advertising dollars — on both sides — are at stake. If the truth was published: that Biden is getting his butt kicked, political advertising would crash since the public would lose interest in the contest.

This helps to explain why even WSJ and Fox polls show Biden leading.

Interesting story from Forbes on the billions spent on advertising.

The lesson they learned is they didn’t do enough to get the Hildabeast elected, they need to lie, smear and and ignore even more truths this time.

When your only tool is a hammer...

...swing it harder!

It is no longer polling...

It’s propoganda

And accuracy doesn’t matter, only repetition of the lie.

Most polls at this stage of the race are inaccurate, by design. The purpose of public polls in Jun/Jul are to persuade voters and to bring eyeballs to their media outlet. They are a marketing tool, not a measure of voter intent. In October, polls must be more accurate, because their results will be measured against the actual outcome that that metric will be important as the pollsters try to sell their product next time. Right now they are working to please their customer, the media, who want bad results for Trump. It’s not complicated.

One of life's lessons: never bet against a winner.

Biden tossed his hat in the ring 6 times, aborting half. The likelihood of a 2-time-loser losing 3 times is far higher than a 2-time-loser winning on the third try.

Oh the “learned” all right. They just learned the wrong lesson. To the MSM, the lesson was that they did not do enough push polling to get the results that they wanted. So in their view, it is time to re-double their efforts.

That’s right. Most consumers continue to believe the surveys. So answering polling companies in favor of Democrats is stupid and will cost us the election. The bandwagon approach is very effective. Many voters will even vote for whomever they believe to be winning.

Answer in favor of President Trump and conservative values. Don’t further demoralize our side and encourage the Democrats.

The media is just following orders from their Chi-Com masters. It ain’t Russia/Russia. Its Chi-Com,Chi-Com!

Hint it ain’t the Russians/Russians controlling our media and trashing our president 24/7~

It is the Chi-Coms and their hidden corporate ownership/Control of ABCNNBCBS!

Curious Why US News Networks Are Supportive of Chinese Government? Just Look at the Corporate Ownership

Today, we are seeing it play out on our shores. The corporate media complex has to follow the directives of the Chi-Com authorities, or significant economic punishment could be realized by the parent companies. Now roll in their already rooted antagonism for President Trump and the bizarre narratives we have been fed begin to make much more sense.

Modern day Pravda. The beltway media use to speak as the voice of the people. It’s now the mouthpiece of the ruling elites.

A new group of Patriots have arisen to free the country from the robber barrons who have destroyed the very Republic they claimed to represent.

Keep on polling......
