The entire polling industry is dead, and at this point exists solely to produce polls that get people to care what polling says. The kind of person who bothers to respond to a poll is no longer related to the general sentiment of voters at all. Trump has consistently underperformed by around 10% compared to what polling has said, and it this point it appears to be because pollsters really just want to sell you on keeping your eyes on polling data, it’s actually totally gonna be closer than you’d think!!!
2016 killed polling, everyone who bothers to respond lies, and most people just don’t respond. There is so little to be gained from looking at polling data that you might as well ignore it.
I get calls pretty often asking my opinion and never offer
because I am busy
Because I don’t know what they will do with that information.
The first thing to remember is that everyone responding AGREED to take take 10+ minutes out of their time to be on the phone and answer a bunch of questions about politics to a complete stranger.
