They were flawed, but they weren't "made up" like you argued.

How do you type that with a straight face?

A poll is supposed to be a 'snapshot' of what a particular group is feeling at that moment in time. So if its 'flawed' then the results are MADE UP! Because it purposefully does not do, what it is supposed to do: show what the electorate was thinking

And when I say made up, I mean to oversample minorities, white women, college grads is seeking to get a specific result, and not realistically looking for the actual snapshot
