It’s about the people, papers, and networks hiring the pollsters to conduct the polls. They are all liberal, and they are all looking for a certain outcome. You make the client happy, you get rehired. You’ll notice that all the polling groups who got it so wrong in 2016 still have plenty of work again in 2020.

See, if they constantly show polls of Trump losing or not performing as well as the GOP thinks, they are hoping it will embolden Dems who didn't previously think they had a shot and demoralize Reps who thought they had it in the bag. The end result is to achieve an outcome in the election that is closer to their polls.
Essentially they are trying to manipulate the outcome through false data.

Hmmm... my informal polls show that most pollsters should win a free helicopter ride.

Arkansas has polls showing Biden within the margin of error. Trump received 60% of the vote in Arkansas in 2016. Does anyone with a brain believe that Biden is within the margin of error in Arkansas?

The next question should have been why are they doing that?
Did that pollsters admit to creating polls to try to weaken enthusiasm for Trump?

Rush is on fire right now giving all of the probable headlines the day after the debate.

How the hell do they know if someone is disgruntled with Trump?
From there it's just a matter of matching social media posts to names.

Then this is worse than 2016 when they were ignorant of who Trump voters were, now they're seeking out data points that provide confirmation bias.
They're gonna get roasted worse than they did after 2016.
Unless the effort is to provide cover for massive #VoteHarvesting voter fraud.

The only purpose I can fathom at this point is push polls. Hoping to suppress likely Trump voters. There has been a trend in the past few election cycles to over sample something in these polls. The reality is polls as we knew them are broken. Also, people are now lying to pollsters especially exit pollsters.

That is believable and it is like 2016 all over again. Trump is near 46 in the approval in the aggregate and rising which is enough for reelection as an incumbent. They are touting polls in Swing States that Trump is down outside the margin of error and it is also in the aggregate. One of them is wrong and I don't think it is the approval. Notice how they keep saying ,but there is a hidden Trump vote pollsters are not picking up. That is their credibility alibi imo. If Trump wins the election like he should they will claim the hidden Trump vote. Meanwhile they can push polls with flawed methodology in hope that is sways enough of the voters to Biden.

Rush talking about the Maria report that there won't be a Durham report or arrests.
Posted on 9/28/20 at 1:19 pm to RICHIE APRILE
Rush saying he was wrong he called the Durham thing wrong. Saying the democrats wouldn't be infighting about releasing this...

Two purposes with these polls. Sway the vote and provide justification for the Fraudulent mail-in ballots they will find after the election. Book it.

I can't lie to them, I just say no thanks and hang up or walk away.

Libs aren’t going to pay for polls that show their guy losing. Libs aren’t going to have pollsters on their lib networks if their polls show trump winning. It’s about money and fame

How are these identified by a pollster? They buy organic toilet paper?
