Is the Dem strategy of bolstering their Poll numbers a good strategy?

I know they do it in hopes of disparaging Trump voters by making them think there is no need to even show up to vote. But I think it does the opposite. Makes Biden supporters feel like they have it in the bag and they're the ones less likely to show up to vote?

The main reasons to push this, IMHO, are so you can either steal the election with fraud or try to fuel another 4 years claiming election fraud / interference when Trump wins.

It’s not good for the mental health of their followers but the party doesn’t care.

It's fake enthusiasm from the fake media.

When conservatives see the unreliable polls showing the Dems are in control it only serves to motivate conservatives to get out the vote. I don’t think conservatives buy the suppression poll BS!

They are doing it so that if and when Red Mirage- mail in ballots scheme- occurs they can point to those polls as evidence and say : See we told you so. The polls were accurate and when all of the "legitimate votes" were counted it proved the legitimacy of the polls.This gives the media a talking point to try and discredit an election night victory by Trump. They are conditioning the public for what they are going to try and do.

This and trying to discourage Trump voters like you say. It is a two prong strategy.

I think it’s other way around. Trumps people have done any and everything to get people not to vote. Even Fox News admits he’s down @ least 10% or more in damn near every poll.

This fool even talking about not giving up if he loses and making America do a do over.

THAT IS NOT THE GOAL.

the goal is to say after POTUS Trump wins, that he must have cheated since every poll said the opposite.

I 100% agree. That’s been my thought all along.

I think they are also doing it to give their “not accepting the election night results” validity.

They're just trying to get Republicans and Independents to stay home on Nov 3.

they are doing it because their own voters feel he is a brain dead moron so they have no desire or interest in even voting for him

the fake polls are to "hopefully" get the dimrat voters feeling like he has a chance so they should get out and vote against trump. its literally desperation time when they cant even pay people to go vote for biden

I think they are doing this to cast doubt on the election results if Trump wins.

Biden has stated that the results of a Trump win would be based solely on “chicanery”.

Biden and the media are laying the foundation to contest the election.

I honestly think they do it to cover for their voter fraud.

Let's tap the brakes. Many of these polls aren't being generated by Democrats, per se, but various news and polling agencies. The rank and file there may be left-leaning, but don't confuse that with some elaborate DNC or Biden campaign strategy.

I think the bias in polling that fooled everyone in 2016 was a product of a general public that has lost faith/trust in the news media, is skeptical of pollsters, and either refuses to participate or lies when asked about their voting intentions.

The messaging from the left has been, and continues to be, that being conservative is to be uneducated or unenlightened, to be intolerant, to be hateful, to be racist, to be sexist, and generally an all around deplorable individual. The left has created a cartoonish caricature of a little over half the country. And if you don't fall in line with whatever nonsense they are peddling today, you will be accused of any number of the aforementioned social sins, publicly shamed, and disciplined officially or otherwise. Conservatives either won't participate or lie. And therefore, I anticipate that we will see the same kind of baked-in bias that favors Democrats and produces wildly inaccurate electoral college models following the election.

The bottom line is that it’s dishonest. Nobody in America doesn’t see it as anything other than dishonesty. Even democrats know this.
