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.

point is to make good folks (trump supporters) feel like going is vote is pointless...

that th good guys have no chance.

gaslighting 101
quote:

Gaslighting is a malicious and hidden form of mental and emotional abuse, designed to plant seeds of self-doubt and alter your perception of reality. Like all abuse, it based on the need for power, control, or concealment. Some people occasionally lie or use denial to avoid taking responsibility. They may forget or remember conversations and events differently than you, or they may have no recollection due to a blackout if they were drinking. These situations are sometimes called gaslighting, but the term actually refers to a deliberate pattern of manipulation calculated to make the victim trust the perpetrator and doubt his or her own perceptions or sanity, similar to brainwashing. (Read “How to Spot Manipulation.”)



you have always been lied to..
why would it be different now

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.

Yep. Like the other poster said. After the election, the dems will claim fraud if Trump wins and point to the polls as justification.

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

So if we cannot believe any poll or any media outlet, who can we believe?
