I suspect as the election nears they will start leaning towards Trump to preserve a little credibility.

Of course they will be in business and probably doing better than ever. Accuracy in political polling has little to do with staying in business. Serving clients is what keeps pollsters going. The clients are buying a desired result, not an accurate poll. Internal polls we never see are the ones done for accuracy.

Right before the last election a many, pollsters and anal-ysts were predicting an easy Romney victory with around 300 electoral votes.

They are all still in business.

Also, accuracy in polling has nothing to do with staying in business

Will they?

No.

Why? Plausible deniability.

Polling companies are paid to do a survey. They are not paid to be correct. For media operations, they are no different than the horoscope, lotto numbers, weather, or movie listings.

They are just there for entertainment purposes.

If they are wrong, they can just blame it on some unknown variable or whatever.

Like who will know otherwise?

Here is the thing everyone does NOT want to get: they will be finished regardless.

They are part of the elite, corporatist cabal that sponges off the rest of us, and if Trump wins they are finished.

Why would they be finished?
