I need some people to explain this to me. The pollsters and media got their asses handed to them in 2016 by being so wrong. Now they're doing it again. My question is: why?

They know we know they were wrong. They know we know Trump support is off the charts. So why are they doing it? Are they trying to suppress the vote? Trying to make it look better for when they rig it?

What the fuck are they trying to pull here...?

  1. Polls in many cases are used to discourage a voter base rather than give a real estimate of support.
  2. Many people do not answer a poll the same as their vote because they are afraid of repercussions for saying who they truly support.
  3. Polls only sample a few thousand voters vs millions of actual voters. They give a "margin of error" to represent this based on their "scientific models". Consider the accuracy of "scientific models" for Covid19 and then consider that some statistician once said "if you torture numbers enough, they will admit to anything".

Please Vote In Person that is the only "poll" that matters.

I also think polls are used to manipulate sheep to make one candidate look more desirable. "Hey if more people are voting for Joe then I guess he's the right one to choose?"

Also to give credibility to the turnout when they cheat.

I think you’re on the right track - the goal is to suppress the vote for trump by suggesting that clueless Biden is so ahead that it’s useless to vote.. however if you I think this is one of those exceptions on who should win general excitement for their candidate should be a fair indicator. Trump wins hands down - that’s not just bias speaking, look at the crowds that trump attracts or even randos creating maga rallys vs Biden.. there’s no match.. just remember to do your part and vote R across the board!

Apparently, some blue checkmark on Twitter's threatening 'more devastating polls' that will 'make the GOP/White House 'have a meltdown'.

BULL-ASS-SHIT.

Yeah, to discourage one side from voting and encourage the waterheads that just want to vote for the "winner". It's what they always do. It doesn't work on Trump voters but what're they gonna do, not do it?
