“Conservatives aren’t responding to pollsters’ questions.”

no, we are NOT responding ... just like we ducked the polls in 2016 and just like we didn’t participate during the 2016 exit polls, which made a complete mockery of the exist polls, which pretty much let the lying leftist fake stream enemedia crow about how Trump was guaranteed to lose based on exit polling.

and indeed we conservatives are STILL not responding to telephone polls ... we refuse to participate in anything rigged by the lying leftist fake stream enemedia and their minions ... we refuse to give them any form of information that they can use against us ... go ahead, lying leftist fake stream enemedia, see how well you can predict things now that we are on to your tricks and refuse to participate ...

I have spoken to two GOP activists in Coffman’s district in the last 4 weeks. Both are convinced he wins.

“Its strange posters here are feeding the lie and falling for it again.”

Personally, I found the NY Times polling quite fascinating in two respects. 1). They showed Republicans winning 60-70% of the Tossups polled. 2). The response rate was so low (1-2%). I don’t really recall seeing pollsters specifying the response rate in the past.

2% response rate isn’t a surprise when you consider they may be calling while people are at work and a large percentage hang up rather than participate.

What is more important is that with a 2% response it is unlikely that the results of the pole will really have any direct correlation with the population in question.

I’m sure they will continue to call until they get whatever minimum number of responses they decided they needed beforehand, but the sample will be skewed dramatically to the subset willing to participate.
