I think we are mostly in agreement - the polls are worthless.
I was trying to point out an irony: these late-breaking optimistic polls are significant because they expose the fake news sponsored polls as frauds.
I am not suddenly a believer in polling, just because some polls agree with my optimism - it is more that they help discredit the overly pessimistic polls.
A similar thing with covid “experts”. I think doomsday doctors like Fauci are full of shit - so when Dr Atlas comes along and says the opposite, I rejoice - not because I found an “expert“ who agrees with me, so I suddenly like “experts”.
It’s because the “experts“ are cancelling each other out and maybe we can stop listening to government appointed bureaucratic “experts”, and start educating ourselves, thinking for ourselves and listening to non government doctors who have earned our trust.
I think all public polls are basically tools of persuasion.
Earlier polls were intended to persuade the public that Trump is a Loser and Joe is a Winner and everybody ought to back the winner.
Current polls are intended to persuade the public that polling isn’t a joke, pollsters know what they’re doing, and Trump is a very viable candidate, while Joe may not be.
Nothing really convinces me that either statement is worth a hill of beans.
