We should remember that pollsters aren't doing this because they love numbers, they are doing this for the money, or to help create propaganda. The integrity and accuracy of polling should be considered non existent. The polls slammed Dole by giving Clinton big double-digit leads. But at the end he lost by around 9%. Many people assumed he had no chance and didn't vote! Clintons are experts at astroturf politics and slanted polls are just one tool.

Do Not Trust Any Polls! Just make sure you Vote! Our Great Republic is on the line!

The skewed polls notwithstanding, Dole was another GOP-generated loser, meant to keep socialism going and Clinton in the WH. The GOP is a “useful idiot” of the Leftist tyrants.

“Stop calling when desired result is reached.”

That’s not how it works. Prior to the fielding of a poll, the number of completed surveys is established. Within that are Quota Cells designed to match the geographic area that is being polled.

The poll is not completed until the goals are met.

“Call a known list of liberals until the desired result is reached.”

Most pollsters design a sample frame and purchase the sample from SSI or generate RDD sample in-house. No listed sample is used.

The importance of the latest polls is they are going our way. The attempt to demoralize us using rigged polls has miserably failed. I believe Trump is beating her much worse than the polls are showing so I don’t believe the polling either.

If they ever call me I’ll tell them that I voted for Obama the last two elections (gag!) but I’m voting for Trump this time.

poll showing Dole losing by double-digits

Well what was that double digit number? Dole lost by 8.5 points. If the poll said 10, the poll was reasonably close. If it said losing by 13 points, you have my attention.
