Can we admit what polling has become?

It has become a Dem tool to suppress Republican voting. Pure and simple. Fudge the numbers enough, make things hopeless, and people will throw their hands up and avoid voting. Problem is, the media's credibility being so low has also hurt the polling data's effectiveness.

In any case, watching the party of victimhood lose

That and polling companies charging a boat load of money to tell Dems what they want to hear up until two days before.
30M of outside money needs to be spent somewhere outside of walkin around money

If anything, I think it encourages republicans to vote and dems to stay home in a reverse psychology manner. If we see we are down, we will show to the polls to try and win and vice versa.

Yep. It's the same with with approval rating polls. They are all worthless

Nothing less than a tool for manipulation by leftists in the media

It's also to help make their cheating less blatant. try to change expectations so can cast more illegal votes.

And some on here was arguing that Nate Aluminum wasn't tweaking his methods in order to affect votes

Polls are now designed only to shape votes

They need to realize that with nobody having land phones anymore and no one willing to answer the door for anyone but an Amazon delivery anymore, there's just no way to reliably poll anymore. Polling is dead. All you can do is have internet polls that just get brigaded by trolls.
