??Frank Luntz *DUMPS COLD WATER* on CNN viewers' dreams of blue wave?? Luntz warned Trump voters "don't respond" to pollster phone calls. He admitted he "got 2016 wrong" because he trusted the exit polls. Luntz asserted he is "skeptical" the current polling is accurate. Moreover, he cast doubt on whether pollsters are using the right measurements and asking the proper questions to determine turnout. Luntz has been a renowned pollster for decades, so this is meaningful coming from him. He knows firsthand how polling can miss Trump voters. Since there are many close races, underestimating Republican turnout by a small margin could make all the difference. It sounds like there’s a real chance of that happening.

Luntz is the weatherman of polling. He is hardly ever right yet they keep putting him on the screen for comment.

He’s a weird dude.

I think it’s funny how he’s basically saying that it’s impossible to accurately poll republicans.

He whiffed so bad that now he’s relegated to explaining why the polls are wrong.

Polling in elections is only to sway voters and sell air time. Voters get nothing useful from it.
I thank Rush for helping people to realize this.

At least he admits it. That fool Lichtman may be the world's biggest crybaby.

They put him on because he is a RINO who hates Trump & America First. Their Leftist viewers don’t realize this & think he is a “conservative” pollster. This way CNN can claim they put on people from “both sides” of the aisle. It’s all Legacy media theater.

Well, he is the dude that got caught manipulating polls via the wording of the question

Never, ever trust polls. Doesn't matter if they are favorable or not.

He did point out that polling is just another media manipulation tool.

Heard yesterday the dems were pulling money out of 3 congressional campaigns, 2 in Florida and 1 in Colorado(Boebert). All three would have been flips and probably long shots, however, you don’t do that if there is a “blue wave”

Simple.

Expect to lose both houses.

Be happy to hold the Senate.

Be ecstatic to hold the House.

Sleep soundly.

Frank Lutz was completely broken after 2016

I did use to like when he’d do his dial thing on Fox News after debates and interview a group of random people

I've repeatedly been contacted by phone or text to take a poll and ignored each one. I'm also voting on election day. I think early voting Exit polls benefit the Dems ability to cheat.
