In this era of social media and doxing along with cancel culture, people are not going to be honest when polled and sometimes won’t even take part in a poll. The media thinks that 2016 was an aberration but they are about to find out that polls mean nothing in 2020 and beyond.

John Zogby finally admitted what everyone already knew, that the mathematical modeling in use for almost 25 years is flawed.

Pollsters are like weathermen. A weatherman can brag that there is a 100% chance of rain today , yet it only rained for 10 minutes. A pollster can say Biden will win by 8 points but then he wins by 1.5.

Both will claim how credible they are at their jobs.

And someone will find some random poll that says what they want and post it here to overwhelming approval in 5... 4... 3... 2...
