Your gut is correct. I may start putting up running commentary on how bad these media polls that are being skewed on purpose. There are still people here who believe these media polls. The pollsters have the same mindset as the people we see loaded on CNN and their daily talkee panels. They are people who are from the poli-sci wings and their students who put out much of these polls from liberal colleges: Marist(awful) Monmouth, Siena, Quinnipaic(them too), et cetera — you’re going to believe these guys against the much hated Trump? Oh please... LoL.

Thanks Red Steel....

How many have done the following:

* Got Rid of the land-line.
* Given up on the _BC or _BS news services, and may not have cable at all, and use Netflix etc.
* Use social media, and or the Net.
* Given up on newspapers and scan what they want on the net.
* Ditto that Time, Newsweek etc.

So tell me how those vaulted pollsters can get any reliable data?

It is a new world and IMHO they can't get the data and metrics like it was the 90's

With that said, where is the Dean of calling these races Michael Barone? Does he get even with his vaulted experience the game has changed so much he can't call it anymore?
