But now a days, polling is done just to push a narrative. And since the filthy-rich own everything and love them some GQP, it's a crazy right wing narrative they push. Rigged questions, bias sampling, huge margins of error, cherry picked reporting. It is all just standard manipulation for propaganda purposes.

I thought Nate Silver had the right idea of following the trend of all the polls. But he fell for that lie too and got it so wrong. He can't be trusted.

But if you think about it, since the GQP gerrymanders the hell out of the House, suppresses voting and rigs local elections, they have to rig polls to hide what they are doing. There is a red shift in polling going back to Raygun's day. It's a way for them to pretend they aren't manipulating elections while manipulating elections.

But a strong voter turnout will defeat all their polls and rigging. It overwhems the cheats.
