If Trump is re-elected — especially by a landslide — I don’t see how polling companies will recover.

These companies charge for their services — a lot. At some point, even the left will become infuriated that they are continually lied to about their position and will scream election interference.

And they’d be right.

In the past, media would cover for polling outlet’s failings, knowing that most people’s memories are short. This time around, the pressure will be too great to brush under the rug

Weird headline malfunction. Too thumb-happy with the copy function.

'my profession is done'

Liberals crave validation. They'll even pay extravagantly for it.

I think your "profession" is secure.

If Trump wins (and he will), LUNTZ is done.

This dope knew in 2016 that his profession was done.

He pointed out after Election Day that even the exit polls were wrong ... which meant that many of the people he was polling were lying right to his face even AFTER they had voted.

There's something particularly important about this. These people didn't just hang up the phone and refuse to answer a pollster. They went through the trouble of taking the time to answer the poll, then lied to the pollster.

Well good-bye Luntz especially after your LA stream of your selected voters picked Trump 9-1. You later went on local TV and said you’re group indicated a TIE. You’re finished dude.

...proves the national polls wrong yet again.

If Trump was up by 20 across the country, would MSLSD tell ya in advance?

Pollsters have attempted to contact me on three occasions and I either didn’t answer the call or reply to the text. I imagine other people are doing the same or outright lying to the pollsters.

Only crazy people and drunks answer a call from a number they don’t recognize. Polling, therefore, is a rather inexact science.

For the honest pollsters who get it wrong, it’s not their fault. After five years of threats, abuse, belittling, physical assaults, and Cancel Culture, Trump voters cannot be blamed for lying to pollsters about their preferences.

So, Frank, blame your Leftist friends for destroying your industry.

I just had a Dem worker call me. I said I was an “independent”. She hung up on me. I was very polite.

They only want what they want to hear.
