I think you may be right that they want neither Trump nor Biden, but one strong reason the polls are shit, is they aren't trusted, and people don't say they are voting Trump. Just look at how you react when you learn that someone is a Trump supporter, and you'll begin to understand why no-one bothers saying so, except at the ballot box.Tero wrote: ↑Thu Nov 09, 2023 3:55 pmThe polling has not reflected voters for 8-10 years. The main reason is that 50% of voters are from neither party. They are the ones likely to change in the next year. And the other problem is still what I said. The independents do not know how to answer since they want neither Trump of Biden.Cunt wrote: ↑Thu Nov 09, 2023 3:52 pmSounds like the polling is not going your way this week.Tero wrote: ↑Thu Nov 09, 2023 12:55 pmEndless yapping about polls on another forum. I brought up one item plus the missing the whole point for some polled people.
Nobody ever asks "what is important about the candidate to you that we have not asked?" Since you could not sort the answers well from that, it would require a new poll to add the most important "missing" item.
The statistics is not the problem. The problem it that the polled people do not understand the question the way the pollsters think they do.
Take heart, there is time for everything to change a few times before the polls are tested against the election results![]()
Division and discussion is good. Damaging that, and driving people apart, seems to serve some interest somewhere, but not the individuals who share communities, or even property lines, with people who are diverse in their outlook or politics.
