-most polls are drawn from about 1,000 people and are hardly representative of who will vote across a state with millions of registered voters.
-the avg Trump supporter is suspicious of any unknown caller (e.g. Is it a doxxing Antifa dweeb?) asking "who ya gonna vote for?" And their hangup means an undersampling of Trump support, especially if your avg woke Dem is all about telling strangers their clever worldview.
-This little thing called the Electoral College means national polls are as helpful as is counting up the total number of goals scored by a team in the Stanley Cup finals to see who will win the series
All that said, election results are a function of turnout and geography. Sure, in PA Trump will win the Red areas. But Philadelphia and her woke hyped up citizenry will turn out in droves (and maybe multiple times...).
In addition to this article's "traditional" ways of whipping up enthusiasm, Dems are using these riots, erm, Biden Rallies and to whip up criminal enthusiasm.
It is not enough to simply hope the polls are BS and Trump folks will come out of the woodwork. If so, we are screwed.
I know! I know!
Riots and looting! That will bridge the enthusiasm gap!
Democrat voters often get stupidity mixed up with enthusiasm.

““We really think that Biden’s enthusiasm gap could be a vulnerability,” said PACRONYM founder and CEO Tara McGowan.”
You’re a real genius, Tara. Perfect for the Slow Joe campaign.
They’re going to need an actual candidate and not a talking cadaver for that, I’m afraid.
Shouldn’t a good poll take enthusiasm in consideration when determining likely voters? Or is this evidence the Democrats think the polls are bogus?
There’s a massive enthusiasm gap. Hillary, I mean Biden, is way out in front by about 90 to 10.
The socialists remind me of the Amos and Andy episode where kingfisher is trying to sell a house where the front of the house is just a fake painted picture of a house propped up in the back by long poles.
Well, what this clearly tells me is that the polls are pure bovine excrement.
If Demented Perv Biteme was ahead, the DemoKKKrats wouldn’t be “looking to” close a “gap.” There wouldn’t be a gap.
Obviously they know better. They know Trump is leading and has more than enough electoral votes to win handily.
So should we.
“It is not enough to simply hope the polls are BS and Trump folks will come out of the woodwork. If so, we are screwed. “
fine ... what are you doing about it? besides posting here, i mean ...
Riiiiiiight. A pig is still a pig.
Isn’t that rather like the coyote closing the gap on the road runner?
On June 4 the ABC/Washington Post survey revealed Trump voters are THIRTY FIVE POINTS (69/34) more ENTHUSIASTIC than Biden voters. That link has since been taken down. The media and Democrats thought that if they ignored this it would go away. It didn’t. Subsequent surveys showed an 18 point gap and a 19 point gap a week later. THEY turned out to be outliers. Two weeks later it was back up to 31 then that was followed by another 35. In the first three stories about this data including this one, posted 7 weeks later, there are NO numbers cited. Of course not. If they actually showed the real numbers the Democrats would send up a white flag and jump out the windows of DNC HQ.
The point here is that the polls are worthless because there is NO ENTHUSIASM to vote for Joe Biden.

Listen to network or cable news and you will hear that the November election is over. Joe Biden has a growing double-digit lead over President Trump, despite the election being over three months away and the issues that may decide the election largely unknown at present.
What do the polls say? Biden’s campaign manager, also known as CNN, has their “poll of polls” described as, “the five most recent national telephone polls measuring the view of registered voters.” Considering that only 58 percent of eligible voters went to the polls in 2016, CNN’s “poll of polls” may not be particularly representative of the electorate.
CNN’s headline screams déjà vu, “Biden maintains a double-digit lead over Trump nationally.” That’s it then, the election is over. Trump supporters may as well pack it up and stay home. At least that is what they want you to believe.
Four years ago, the media was singing the same tune. On June 26, 2016, Time reported, “Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton holds a double-digit lead over presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump.” How did that turn out?
To Clinton’s credit, despite her falls, bizarre facial tics, needing to be carried into a van, and overall unlikability, she was generally coherent. Unlike Biden who can’t get through a scripted interview without saying something incoherent, as he recently claimed his campaign attorneys are reaching out to “voter registration physicians.”
Perhaps he was referring to the next Nolan Ryan, baseball pitcher Dr Fauci, who through his ever-changing recommendations is seeking to influence the election in a way Russia could only dream of.
Let’s look at CNN’s gaggle of polls.

Unless a cure for dementia is now available, I don’t see how Democrats can close an enthusiasm gap with Biden.
