“...The second factor is poll respondents keeping their preferences quiet. Perhaps they didn’t want to voice their support of Trump only to be called a Nazi, get thrown out of a restaurant or beat up.....”

I bet this is a big factor in polls not being accurate. Why risk talking to them?

If the Democrats take the house, they’ll quickly find out that the President Trump knows how to play hardball. Sessions will be out on his ear and Trump will appoint a pit bull to go after the Swampcrats.

At one time, polling was done to high scientific standards in order to assess the sense of voters as accurately as possible.

Anyone who thinks that is still true is incredibly naive.

It was obvious: people believe and act on what they read in polls, so manipulating the polls to influence rather than sense voter behavior was inevitable.

Follow the money. Polling is a business.

That recent NBC/WaPo Poll that showed Trump’s disapproval at 60% only polled 25% Republicans.

The other 75% was comprised of demonic-rats and unregistered voters.

Those last three paragraphs are gangbusters.

90% of polls are garbage. Don’t waste your time.

If the rats were so confident of winning the House they wouldn’t be trying so hard to fire up their retarded base.

Exactly! Polls are just leftist media propaganda. Go out and vote, folks. Else the demo_rats will control your lives using the government’s monopoly on force.
