The Mainstream Media is at it again claiming that there is no way President Trump can win the election because of the polls. Anyone remember 2016? Steve Deace breaks down why these polls don't make ANY sense. WATCH more Steve Deace: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-RAJ...

I tell pollsters that Alas, I am Rumanian citizen, and I cannot vote here...
>Trafalgar uses proprietary methods to try to get participation by “shy” Trump voters and they do get better results than most of the others.
Maybe using respect?
They go beyond asking people who they are voting for. They look at actual registration data. More people have registered republican in some of these battleground states like MI and WI and democrat registration has dropped.
Real questions best left unanswered is...what to do IF Biden wins....
Bookmark for later.
I no longer respond to surveys. Businesses can hire organizations to monitor their performance. I am not giving my time for free.
The pollsters claim they are anonymous but they know what phone number they called and can then backtrack and find out who you are.
When I realized that years ago, I quit answering any polls.
I’m also one of those who does not answer my phone if I do not recognize the number.
I figure that if it’s important, they will leave a message.

I agree with you about answering the phone. I bet I don’t answer 80-90% of the calls I receive. I get them from all over the country and they NEVER leave a message. Caller ID is one of the great inventions along with WD-40 and duct tape.
I love caller ID.
I got a call from a number that said “Restricted” the other day, and that’s usually medical or the police. But nobody left a message so I’m guessing it was spam, as usual.
Oh, let's riot! Burn, loot, ... especially media studios and headquarters.
Yes, my phone identifies the caller, the city and if it is SPAM.
I would add DVR recording of television programs.
I can record something, maybe even 1/2 hour after "real time," then play it back and skip over those annoying emu and other commercials.
I agree with you about the dvr and about the annoying emu commercials. “Annoying” isn’t a strong enough description. It’s funny that all the insurance companies use humor in their commercials. Progressive’s are only slightly less annoying than the emu’s. Some of Geico’s are genuinely funny and clever.
I am very tired of all the insurance commercials. But the Geico “we have aunts” one cracks me up.
Professor Lockdown’ Modeler Resigns in Disgrace

Neil Ferguson is the British academic who created the infamous Imperial College model that warned Boris Johnson that, without an immediate lockdown, the coronavirus would cause 500,000 deaths and swamp the National Health Service.
Ferguson’s model also influenced the U.S. to make lockdown moves with its shocking prediction of over two million Americans dead.
Elon Musk calls Ferguson an “utter tool” who does “absurdly fake science.” Jay Schnitzer, an expert in vascular biology and a former scientific direct of the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center in San Diego, tells me: “I’m normally reluctant to say this about a scientist, but he dances on the edge of being a publicity-seeking charlatan.”
Ferguson’s Imperial College model has been proven wildly inaccurate. To cite just one example, it saw Sweden paying a huge price for no lockdown, with 40,000 COVID deaths by May 1, and 100,000 by June. Sweden now has 2,854 deaths and peaked two weeks ago.
Indeed, Ferguson has been wrong so often that some of his fellow modelers call him “The Master of Disaster.”
Ferguson was behind the disputed research that sparked the mass culling of eleven million sheep and cattle during the 2001 outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease.
In 2002, Ferguson predicted that, by 2080, up to 150,000 people could die from exposure to BSE (mad cow disease) in beef. In the U.K., there were only 177 deaths from BSE.
In 2005, Ferguson predicted that up to 150 million people could be killed from bird flu. In the end, only 282 people died worldwide from the disease between 2003 and 2009.
In 2009, a government estimate, based on Ferguson’s advice, said a “reasonable worst-case scenario” was that the swine flu would lead to 65,000 British deaths. In the end, swine flu killed 457 people in the U.K.
Exactly. Plus to pull in those in the mushy middle who want to vote for the popular, winning candidate.
They are faked to help DNC fundraising.
Exactly. For about three weeks we would get a call every single morning from area code 202 which is DC. Probably pollsters but they gave up about a week ago. I hit the green button and immediately hit the red button. Every other number I don't recognize can leave a message.
Oh yes, Geico ads are funny: the “caveman”, the camel “hump day”, Maxwell the pig who cried “wee, weee, weee”, ...
Maybe some of these are “Progressive” not Geico. I’m not sure.
But the emus are annoying.
