Stop it with this polling! Other polls keep showing Trump is more likeable, in the lead, etc.

I’ll repeat this from an earlier thread. I was in the media for 40 years, and it happened EVERY election, in nearly EVERY race, from dogcatcher to President:

At this point in every campaign for decades, the media’s pollsters make it look close so BOTH SIDES continue buying up advertising. Political season is Christmas for media outlets, particularly since candidates must pay for their advertising UP FRONT.

So look for pollsters to portray this race and other races to be tight, neck-and-neck, until the day before Election Day, when the real numbers will be reported to shore up what is left of the pollsters’ credibility.

The polls right now are all about advertising dollars for the media, not political reality.
