Remember the bogus poll that had Hillary up +12 three days ago? You couldn't go near the news without hearing about it and how the race was over. Now quietly that lead was cut in half in three days. I'm pretty sure you won't hear about a Trump surge on ABC radio today.

They are building fake rationale for turning away from fake polls. Faux News is building their’s on “surge” of independent support for Trump.

Yep. Polls are just media weapons to shape and shift public opinion. Always have been, IMHO.

Hard to know if Trump is surging or if they are merely starting to tweak their poll back to reality to save their reputation on Nov 9

Every election polling goes the same way:

1) Dem is reported to start out with big advantage to get a bandwagon effect

2) Rep is reported to slowly tighten the gap in order to motivate Dems to work harder

3) Ambiguous dead heat as election gets closer to draw maximum audience

4) When election day gets close enough so that polls would lose credibility, polls try to be accurate

Same old, same old.

I know how they’re spinning the word, but it’s a crap poll because “anxious” can be used for both good and bad feelings. Hell, I’m anxious for a Trump presidency because we’ll have someone we can start to trust in office again.
