The polls in 2016 had Clinton winning the popular vote by 2%. Clinton won the popular vote by 2%. At the state level the polls proved to be somewhat inaccurate. In 2018 the polls were VERY accurate in their predictions. In presidential races other than 2016, the polling companies were also VERY accurate. However, in 2012, Gallup, one of the most respected polling companies, predicted a Romney victory. Polling companies in 2012 erred on the side of Republicans.

So it's impossible to say that polling companies are biased one way or the other. In my opinion, they sample fairly and sometimes they miss.
They poll favorable samples to sway public opinion. The MSM then perpetuates it. It’s pretty simple Speedy..

Any proof at all to support your claim that polls are biased? Anything at all? Why were the polls correct in 2008, 2012, and 2018?

As I've always said -- when polls favor one's point of view, that person will cite those polls. When the poll do not favor one's point of view, they are biased.

You have consistently cited Rasmussen polls because they usually showed Trump to have a positive approval rating. Did they change their methodology to include more Democrats recently? Or are more people having negative views on Trump?

Polls used to be tools for building strategy. Now, they are simply strategy for tools.

That’s my two cents anyways.

John Gans, a former Defense Department speechwriter, said one of the ironies of Morrison being asked to testify is that officials who raised eyebrows with their hard-line views when they joined the NSC under Trump have become a source of hope for people who are concerned about the Ukraine situation.

"And Tim Morrison is one of those people," said Gans, author of White House Warriors, a book about the NSC. "But in fact now we see those who are trying to get to the bottom of the impeachment are placing a lot of hope on his testimony — that he will be willing to say, despite his sort of hard-line views and despite perhaps agreeing with President Trump on some matters, that, in fact, there was a problem here on Ukraine."

As the senior director responsible for that region, Morrison would be the person at the National Security Council with the closest relationship with that country's issues.

I question the idea of "Free Money".

In 2000 and 2012, however, general election polls clearly tended to under-estimate support for the Democratic presidential candidates. The trend lines for both national polls and state-level polls show that – for any given election – whether the polls tend to miss in the Republican direction or the Democratic direction is tantamount to a coin flip."

This is EXACTLY what I said in my previous post. Polls are mostly right and sometimes wrong, but when they are wrong there is no bias shown between parties -- sometimes they show Republican bias and sometimes they show Democratic bias.

it would be free if Yang is elected, AND gets his idea passed by Congress.. completely moot point, neither will happen, so no need to debate whether the cash is truly free.

so why do you keep claiming Yang by his polling numbers to Trump would win? and who's gonna provide that free money, just in case the impossible happens and Andy Ying Yang gets elected?


is the Fed gonna print more fiat currency? well they do that anyway but .. not the point here. are the uber rich going to be taxed for it? what's the criteria? do the uber rich get taxed then get the money back??


we may not be allowed to have a DOTY poll anymore but what about a CPOTY poll?

You do know that this current round is not that. Right? So waiting is what will happen.

It is still just a fishing expedition - because they still do not have anything to charge him with. You understand that. Right? Go Fish yourself.

I'm certain that you have no comprehension of due process either. Right? Because that is what the demonicrats fear most. Well... that and fairness, sun light and accountability.
So just be honest (I know, new and different process for you/them) the thought that you and the demonicrats are really preoccupied with is WWJDD - What Will John Durham Do? And I'm OK with that rattling around in ya'lls pea brains.
