Have you heard about the polls that the media report on that show Trump losing.

They are biased. They are flawed. they are fake.

We said that last time too. I hope it’s true but the presidency doesn’t just drop in your lap. You have to do certain things right.

Right now it appears Trump won’t get the RNC ad support he needs, he doesn’t have a good get out the vote organization, he’s being undercut by his own party. It will not be easy to win like this.

2012 deja vu. All the polls showing Obama ahead, everyone here screaming bias. Obama wins. Whoops. Here are a couple classics.

CNN Poll: Obama up six points over Romney (scam poll)

No Bounce For Romney In Florida [Biased PPP Polling?]

EDITORIAL: Rigging the polls

Instead of bitching about the polls, which are looking pretty bad, go take take the time to try and help Trump. Make a call, go engage in a nice way on twitter/reddit/facebook. Denying that this is a huge uphill battle is extremely counterproductive.The race is winnable, but not with everyone's head in the sand.

National horse race polls are horse manure at this time.. Each election has its own dynamic. Last time, people didn’t turn out the way many thought they would. This is what I call, “The Shrinking Romney” effect. Hurricane Sandy, a freak storm, sent Romney into hiding. Trump is no Romney, and the arguments in the article are valid. It is important to note Trump will have challenges like RNCe not campaigning. But Trump’s computer databases of voters will have a backup so voters can be gotten to the polls. Did Soros’ have his boyz hack Romney’s computers? Methinks that Trump is well versed in methods of massive voter fraud like took place on places like Ohio Pennsylvania and elsewhere. Naysayers may say we who complain about poll bias are whistling in the dark, but I have done similar analysis of the numbers coming out this year and have come to many of the same conclusions as this author. As the year progresses we can debias the polls and will have a Trump victory even with a 2-3 % Dem turnout advantage, if it turns out like that. I am not so sure that the turnout won’t be closer to even due to the enthusiasm difference

Polls based on turnout models this far out are suspect for sure. This election year will be no different than others. People will cite polls that support their viewpoint and vilify those that don’t. No crowd does it better than FR.

The bias I see in the polls is in the questions. Many pool are still looking at favorable/unfavorable ratings for Clinton and Trump. These questions produce results within the same poll that contradict each other and are then used to foretell an election outcome. At this point, there is only one line of question that is relevant. You voting for Trump, Clinton or staying home?
