https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.robesonian.com/opinion/columns/135745/political-polls-tend-to-be-crafted-to-achieve-desired-results/amp. There is an article discussing polling and why it is inaccurate. I didn’t have the opportunity to read it all.

2020-10-05 17:08:26 UTC  

yes i agree, they're inaccurate

2020-10-05 20:22:28 UTC  

its the people who conduct the polls

2020-10-05 20:22:37 UTC  

and the people being polled

2020-10-05 20:23:06 UTC  

ever notice how the "undecided" percentage is usually quite large

2020-10-05 20:57:39 UTC  

what the shit is wrong with the leftists these days?

2020-10-05 21:01:54 UTC  

everything

2020-10-05 21:09:18 UTC  

aint that the truth

2020-10-06 02:52:24 UTC  

breaking news - cnn admits to bs

2020-10-06 02:54:42 UTC  

Lol

@Memologist Ph.D.

The undecided percent is usually quite small.

2020-10-06 03:49:22 UTC  

not from what ive seen

2020-10-06 03:49:43 UTC  

ive seen 18%

2020-10-06 03:50:19 UTC  

largest ive seen

2020-10-06 03:50:27 UTC  

The polls that I have seen have had undecided percents of around 2%

2020-10-06 03:50:39 UTC  

really?

2020-10-06 03:51:07 UTC  

anyway what i was saying is that the undecided percentage is really democrats who claim to be "undecided"

2020-10-06 03:51:37 UTC  

plus with the people they poll anyway most of them are democrats

2020-10-06 03:52:55 UTC  

Why would they do that? Like I said before, they want their polls to be as accurate as possible. They do not want to be embarrassed on Election Day.

2020-10-06 03:53:03 UTC  

And even pollsters like Fox News

2020-10-06 03:53:08 UTC  

Show Biden in the lead

2020-10-06 03:53:17 UTC  

And Fox News is a conservative news network

2020-10-06 03:53:34 UTC  

That’s not to say Trump can’t win

2020-10-06 03:53:36 UTC  

i very rarely actually see ppl in person taking polls ...i haven't seen them done locally in over 10yrs

2020-10-06 03:54:32 UTC  

Every poll population size is biased in this case I don’t think the rural or conservative vote is being counted as much simply because they don’t care about taking the poll

2020-10-06 03:55:11 UTC  

Do you have any evidence to back that up? I don’t think that conservatives/Trump supporters are shy.

2020-10-06 03:56:36 UTC  

I wouldn’t say they are shy but I would say that they don’t care as much about the polls. I guess my only evidence is my own experience

2020-10-06 03:56:55 UTC  

I see

2020-10-06 03:58:56 UTC  

The way I see it is like this. Biden supporters will be more likely to take the poll simply because of their pure disdain for Trump. They dislike him so much they will make a point to got out of their way to show it. Trump supporters on the other hand tend to be less like that and thus care less about the polls. That’s just my reasoning though

2020-10-06 03:59:39 UTC  

sick thought - poll blm supporters

2020-10-06 03:59:40 UTC  

Based on what I have seen, it seems like Trump supporters despise Biden just as much.

2020-10-06 04:01:57 UTC  

I honestly don’t think so, we rip on him ofc but not with the same passion that would actually cause us to poll against him. There is also the question of how the polls are being distributed or administered. For example, if they are being administered online and in services such as YouTube, Facebook, or Twitter those companies could selectively recommend the polls more to the Biden supporters than the Trump supporters

2020-10-06 12:31:15 UTC  

gosh they are so useless in media

2020-10-06 19:15:00 UTC  

check the sources of the polls

2020-10-06 19:15:08 UTC  

while they may be 100% not fake
