I have lied to pollsters since at least the start of the Obama years. That’s when I finally woke up to the Uniparty and its complete control of media and any institutions touching upon politics and government.

My rule of thumb (and not just recently) -- Be skeptical of all "poll" results, especially if they tell you what you want to hear.

I stopped believing polls when Reagan was telling Nuke jokes on a hot mike.

At this point, I’m not sure what the point of a poll is.

They are always used as tools of manipulation for the future and not as a gathering of data from how people felt a week ago.

The election will tell us the winner.
The polls before the election are just trying to game the system.

It ought to be LEGAL and PROTECTED speech, but you can be the that Deep State in cahoots with the Biden administration will use lawfare to ruin any objectors by forcing them to spend millions on legal fees. Just ask Peter Navarro, Rudy Giuliani and yes, Donald Trump himself.

What is the appropriate response of a Trump supporter if/when contacted by a pollster?

1. Lie about your choices
2. Curse the pollster
3. Lie and curse the pollster
4. Fake a heart attack while on the call
5. All the above

Indeed.

This is the path of wisdom.

"Control the messaging and you control the nation"

-Barry Obama

Facts and realities don't matter as long as you control the messaging. Obama was very focused on this. He knew it takes time. His minions were committed and unrelenting on taking over mass media, news organizations, public schools, and even social media, with inserting propaganda and removing unfavorable messaging from unauthorized sources.

I gallup away from any poll.

Seriously...an honest poll requires a scientific research approach, and that is no longer possible. On the pollster side, obtaining a truly balanced sample, and asking truly neutral questions, can’t be done, because no one can define what would constitute ‘balance’ and there is no way to word questions to keep them from demonstrating bias.

On the other side, the Heisenberg effect is so strong that it is impossible to snapshot the public: anybody being polled is changing the response based on being polled—including of course people who refuse to respond, along with people who are afraid of the “wrong” response, and people who purposefully want to “Operation Chaos” the responses.

The cheating factor, and theft of elections, never show up before the elections. Thus polls can’t be trusted, and even the results of elections can’t be trusted.

Polls are meant to give hope to candidates and to committed voters who will never vote for the opposition. Polls are always unreliable and never reflect what the end result will be, not with the current state of politics and ‘win at any cost’ policies of the different parties, especially the thieving democrats who mean to get the presidency at any cost. The presidency is where the power is at, and democrats will never let the voters make the decision. Democrats aim to win the presidency forever, and they cannot let any kind of opposition to get close to taking it from them.

All polls commissioned by the main stream media are push polls.

Think about it. How many decent, rational people will take a phone call from a perfect stranger and share with them their political opinions?

Never ceases to amaze me how short peoples memories are.

I point to the “great red wave” pre-election polling of 2022.....and as far as the SCOTUS abortion decision leak goes, the polling was reporting that it was gonna be such a slam du k that shouldn’t have even mattered.

IMO all polling should be outlawed. It’s now been weaponized to push a particular narrative to influence how people vote.

Polls are just more manipulation spit out by the MSM.
