Republics don’t trust pollsters (for good reason) and are not responding or flat-out lying about their intent.
This season, polls are worthless...even Ras
I got polled by PPP on the Dan Lungren race out here and I wish I could have recorded the questions. They made you think that Congressman Lungren was single-handedly responsible for global warming, starving children, and the Batman shootings. I'm surprised the polls would show him with a lead after that line of questioning. Of course I pressed the buttons to describe myself as an 18-23 year old, Hispanic, female Democrat. Polls are absolute nonsense now that people are using them as propaganda.
Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta...er...Pollster
