Why is no one in the media questioning the polls when the data doesn't even make sense?

This poll says Biden is up 11 yet 50% think they're better off than four years ago and only 36% think things are worse. The last incumbent President to lose, George HW Bush, had his "better off" number in the 30s when he lost.

Polls say people think Trump will win, polls say everyone's neighbor is voting for Trump, polls say more people are better off than they were four years ago but every poll says Joe Biden is up 10%.

Because they really really want it to be true. And when operation count all the votes is initiated their polls will finally be proven correct.

I would have said I was better off in 2012 than 2008 and voted for Romney. I would also say I’m better off in 2020 than 2016 and I’m voting for Biden.

I bought house, got a new job, had a 2nd kid, which are 3 major reasons I’m better off. These weren’t the results of an politician.

anyone who thinks a D or R is going to win by 10% is loony to start with, but yeah, it's insane to think Biden is up that much

As someone else mentioned. Polls aren’t meant to be accurate, they’re meant to cheerlead

Trump voters don't get polled. There is no way in hell I would tell some snot nosed earring tongue & nosed stupid chick who I am voting for. She may cause retribution on many facets.

Also: A person named Richard used to have a phone number in my home. They literally called/texted from numbers all over the USA all day today every 5 minutes. We left them unspam tagged & not blocked to see what they were up to.

They finally today cited Biden by name and were desperate.

The media no longer exists to inform. They only work to influence.

The media commissions these polls. The pollsters give them the product they want
