Seeing too many posts of polls recently on this site celebrating Trump leading in various polls. What every happened to the "Never trust the polls" mantra? Just because they favor trump doesn't mean they're trustworthy.

It is time for the polls to get as close to right as they can, so they don't screw up their reputations for next election. The polls close to the election are accurate as they think they can get away with

That's also a good point. Same thing as 2016... she's running away with it, until right before the election when they decided to make it look a little more remotely close to reality.

People should not let the polls affect how they vote or whether they vote.

VOTE. NO MATTER WHAT, and NO MATTER WHERE you are.

Why are we still looking at polls? Many of the recent posts are about early voting figures. The gig is up. We can extrapolate/predict trends from early voting.

The polls could keep lying or they can try to tell the truth but it doesn't really matter at this point.
