Polls: I don't care about them. For all I know those being polled..

....are telling pollsters they'll vote for Biden when they really intend to vote for Trump.

Nobody would put that kind of ratfuckery past a Republican or a Trump Cultist.

Fuck 'em. Republicans AND the polls.

VOTE. As early as you possibly can. (I voted in person early the FIRST DAY of early voting)

I could not handle another 2016 heartbreak. Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.

I'd rather be comfortably ahead, but I still don't really trust the polls.

The real problem is in this era of fewer landlines and people not willing to answer calls from unknown numbers, that those things may make the polling less accurate.

With zero knowledge at all, I'm going to guess that the good polling organizations compensate for those problems.

If people feel strongly about politics then its much more likely they are just eager to share their actual opinion than to go through the ruse of lying about it.

but I think the polls serve a purpose. So I can't share your antipathy. Glad to hear you got your vote in. I suspect an overwhelming number of Democrats will do the same this year.
