Polls are as reliable as Trump paying his bills.

Polls have become completely useless. The news media will show one poll and then show another poll that contradicts the first poll. It's laughable.

They make absolutely no difference in real terms. The only thing that is going to make a difference is voting and, if one can, donating, door-knocking, volunteering to help your candidate/party in whatever way you can.

The polls only serve the media so they can hype things up and get more clicks, imo.
