Less than a week before Virginians pick their next governor, there is a sense of frenzied uncertainty hanging over the race. That much isn’t surprising — the polling between Democrat Terry McAuliffe and Republican Glenn Youngkin is extremely tight. What many anxious voters may not appreciate, though, is that, given the state of the polling industry, there’s a good argument to be made that the freak-out should actually be much worse.

Ya see, they like knowing ahead of time what's going to happen, so they can either assist their preferred outcome or mitigate an outcome they don't like (prepare to manufacture ballots, for example).

But when the electorate is fluid, or if actual results don't correspond with their "polls," they get very upset.

"We can't just wait and count the votes to see who won!! Then it's too late!!"

And then where the results don’t match the polling the Lying Media then race around claiming “voter suppression” or “election inference by the Russians” to explain why their polls are so far from truth.

Polling probably skewed by at least 10% at least for the Dim.

Should be enough margin for Younkin to overcome fraud.

Historically, there was only one poll that mattered.

Trick question, do you mean who will actually get the most votes or who will wind the election?

It doesn’t matter - they’ve already started cheating in Virginia by accepting ballots as valid without signatures or the last 4 digits of the SSN required by law.

It’s not broken.

They get what they poll for.

If Youngkin is allowed to win, it’s only because he’s not seen as much of a threat.

It’s not broken, it is corrupt. Polling is not designed to measure opinion, it is SOLELY designed to shape it.

Not now. That was changed after the 2020 election. Now all have to have signatures.

The Dems are still using the same tactics in VA that they used in 2020 to steal the election. Drop boxes and early voting facilitate the theft. And then there are the machines.

I will be very surprised if the Reps win given the Dem stakes in this election, which will affect the Biden Administration and its agenda nationally. This is a must have for the Dems. They will do whatever is necessary to win, including stealing it.

Yeah, I remember when Election Day when actually a day, except for some narrow exceptions under certain categories, it wasn’t even that long ago. Now, “Election Day” is basically around two months long. It’s ridiculous.

Who's winning? Are they serious? The commie democrats have a coin they flip and it's heads they win, tails you lose.

It should be easy to figure out who's winning from there.
