I really don’t believe in this poll. It’s like that people’s decision is a “random number” than flips at every hour.

“I really don’t believe in this poll. It’s like that people’s decision is a “random number” than flips at every hour.”

There have been plenty of polls that have had big shifts and inconsistencies, all along. I certainly wouldn’t place a bet based on any of them. Further, the idea of ‘averaging’ all the polls to get a more accurate number also seems crazy to me. If I’ve done 12 statistically flawed experiments I should just average them and believe the results? Polling is a big business, and generates news stories, but it does a disservice to our Republic to use polling to push the result in one direction or another - and it often is used in this manner.
