Makes posting so much more fun, doesn't it? Repeating them multiple times doesn't have the impact you think it does, though.

Now, can you do anything other than post the exact same talking points I have read ad nauseum on DU and elsewhere? You're not reinventing the wheel, doll. Nor are you telling me anything I don't know or haven't heard before.

A poster of your brilliance must have tons of ideas. C'mon. Share 'em. What should Biden's people do? It's above my pay grade so I am happy to let Biden's people, the experts, do their jobs. They know what I don't know. Since you seem to know everything, perhaps you should contact them forthwith.

There's something off about you. Can't quite pinpoint, but something's off.

Yup. Lots of polling these days seem to be little more than ratfucking. FSogol Nov 2023 #1

Ratfucking? Sorry, I don't know that one. NCIndie Nov 2023 #4

Ratfucking is an American slang term for political sabotage or dirty tricks, particularly pertaining to elections. FSogol Nov 2023 #11

My fellow submariners and I invented a card game we called RF EYESORE 9001 Nov 2023 #13

TV news should rename their programs. Like, CBS Morning Polls Walleye Nov 2023 #2

Polling isn't perfect. That's why statistics exist. NCIndie Nov 2023 #3

Many people also don't understand margin of error. TwilightZone Nov 2023 #12

It's worse than that. NCIndie Nov 2023 #22

Did the NYT report that the results were skewed when they published? redqueen Nov 2023 #31

You just mentioned... Think. Again. Nov 2023 #33

No, because they also released the distribution of the respondents. NCIndie Nov 2023 #45

No,.... Think. Again. Nov 2023 #48

The level of evidence required for a court conviction is pretty high. NCIndie Nov 2023 #60

That level of evidence rarely exists... Think. Again. Nov 2023 #64

I agree completely. NCIndie Nov 2023 #65

Fortunately, many DUers are proactive not reactive. Hermit-The-Prog Nov 2023 #83

Amusingly, dpibel Nov 2023 #90

there isn't enough focus on the increased manipulation of these polls bigtree Nov 2023 #8

I don't think so. shrike3 Nov 2023 #9

There's also other polls that show him losing. MyNameIsJonas Nov 2023 #19

So, there's a mixture in the polls. shrike3 Nov 2023 #25

Oh, I agree. shrike3 Nov 2023 #51

Because the polls that show Biden leading are not well-known. MyNameIsJonas Nov 2023 #43

The "Biden should drop out, Biden is too old, Democrats are nervous," narrative started long before these polls. shrike3 Nov 2023 #50

They started when that one poll a couple months ago that had 70% Americans who said Biden was too old. MyNameIsJonas Nov 2023 #70

Nope. Narrative started long before that. shrike3 Nov 2023 #75

lol who cares when it started? MyNameIsJonas Nov 2023 #92

Darlin', you said "Biden is too old" started a couple of months ago. shrike3 Nov 2023 #96

Honey, you brought it up first. MyNameIsJonas Nov 2023 #97

Aw, glad you like endearments, too. shrike3 Nov 2023 #99

Biden's people have their work cut out for them. shrike3 Nov 2023 #100

NYTpoll, other bogus reporting was setting path for No Labels and Manchin. blm Nov 2023 #10

Explain why they'd want to. brooklynite Nov 2023 #14

Horse race. dchill Nov 2023 #76

Where was the "horse race" in Tuesday's election? brooklynite Nov 2023 #77

Not everything advocated has an obvious result. dchill Nov 2023 #85

Not everything is a conspiracy brooklynite Nov 2023 #91

It's not a conspiracy. dchill Nov 2023 #93

Suppressing turnout is good for clicks? brooklynite Nov 2023 #94

Evidently. dchill Nov 2023 #95

No lol. It's very common for a slew of polls to be released a year out from an election. MyNameIsJonas Nov 2023 #16

I'm referring to the 2024 polling released just prior to the elections this past Tuesday, given the "bad" numbers for themaguffin Nov 2023 #20

I know what you're referring to. MyNameIsJonas Nov 2023 #41

No, you're missing the point themaguffin Nov 2023 #66

The voting on Tuesday had very little to do with Biden. honest.abe Nov 2023 #24

Well hopefully they will realize all the rights Tree Lady Nov 2023 #30

That is precisely what we need to focus on for 2024. honest.abe Nov 2023 #67

Why didn't the poll pick that up? gab13by13 Nov 2023 #58

The polling was about Biden vs Trump not about abortion rights. honest.abe Nov 2023 #68

What do you mean polls didn't pick that up? MyNameIsJonas Nov 2023 #72

Any bandwagon effect is real but narrative cannot dictate an outcome bucolic_frolic Nov 2023 #26

Doubt seriously the NYT's poll was designed to suppress Dem vote. Silent Type Nov 2023 #54

Why? gab13by13 Nov 2023 #59

Why do you think so? I just don't think the polls are as nefarious as some. You might not like the poll, Silent Type Nov 2023 #63

Poll rso Nov 2023 #56

Is there any evidence to support that? Kaleva Nov 2023 #57
