What if polls were faked in order to influence public opinion,

I believe that right now that is exactly what is happening.

With a week or 2 to go before election, they will converge toward 'reality' so the pollsters can retain some credibilty.

Florida Atlantic University (FAU) is a real university and has been around awhile. But I have no idea about their polling.

Considering that pollsters manipulate their data to give every possible advantage to the Democrat, this is a damn good poll for Donald Trump.

He's probably ahead by a lot more than two points but let's pretend he's down by 10 points and work our butts off.

Bingo. The polls always seem to converge around reality a couple of weeks out.

Looking for an honest pollster and an unbiased media outlet seem to be like looking for chastity in a whorehouse.

I live in SW florida

This election is like…what election

People around here are not saying a word

I think Trump has a huge underground following

Trump stickers few and far between

And the same for Hillary

The nation-wide news is that “Independents are voting for Trump by a wide margin of 47 percent to 26 percent.”
