Trump Victory Will Kill Trust In Polling Industry Once And For All

  1. As Election Day 2020 approaches, the media and pollsters alike are once again assuring anyone who will listen – a number growing smaller by the day – that President Donald Trump is about to suffer a blowout defeat. He trails Joe Biden by 7.8% in national polling and is down 3.4% in key battleground states.

    According to the polls, Trump’s unfavorable ratings are too high, his rhetoric too polarizing, and his opponent too experienced and well-funded to beat. If that message sounds familiar, it’s because you heard the same one in 2016. Pollsters convinced the American people, and the media, that President Trump had no hope of victory.

    In reality, the president exceeded polling expectations in 10 of the 12 battleground states. In Wisconsin, a state all but ignored by the Clinton campaign in part because of her polling numbers there, President Trump was supposedly down 6.5%. He won it. In Michigan, he was down 3.4% and in Pennsylvania 1.9%. He won both of them as well by 0.3% and 0.7%, respectively. In nine of the 12 battleground states, polls were off by at least three percentage points.

    The polling industry should not exist, because there's no point in "polls"

    Who the fuck cares what the "early numbers" indicate?

    I laugh when I see all these media outlets/politicians/etc whomever go on and on and on and on and on about polls. So WHAT?!?!? What matters is the end result.

    The polls create a perception that one candidate is leading big and that gives wriggle room for fraud to take place. At least half of these polls are conducted by the traditional media outlets. If the candidate that is chosen by the media and deep state is not winning the vote count, they could have pre-planned ways to add votes to their chosen(losing) candidate.

    In this election, some states have allowed mail in ballots that arrive after election day to be counted. There are many ways to skew an election outcome if the desire of the movement is strong.
     
  4. Hillary was never over 50% in any of those polls. There's a good chance one polling company goes out of business on Wednesday and that's Trafalgar.
