ONALASKA Wisconsin—Vice President Mike Pence dismissed recent polling showing President Donald Trump behind former Vice President Joe Biden by as much as double digits in the 2020 presidential race.“I think polling is broken in America,” he told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview on Air Force 2, returning from a campaign trip to Wisconsin. “I didn’t believe the polls in 2016, and I don’t believe the polls in 2020.”The latest ABC News/Washington Post poll shows Biden ahead by 10 points nationally and recent polling in swing states shows the president trailing Biden.The vice president encouraged supporters to have faith in the president’s ability

This particular poll surveyed 30% Dems, 24% Republicans, 39% Independents, and 9% Other (socialist, green party, Libs). Really? No wonder no one believes them.

When so many don't trust the polls or are fearful of being identifed as non-PC, they the polls will always be wrong. Polls have been designed to promote Democrats and their fascist agenda. Now, a huge swath of Americans have no faith in polls and refuse to particpate or answer with the correct PC answers.

Last night, Chris Wallace showed the President a question in the latest Fox poll where a majority of respondents said that Biden was mentally better suited to be President than Trump. And he did it with a straight face. Of course PDT ripped him up.

In addition to polls asking loaded questions, and questions weighted just to get a certain answer (i.e., do you still beat your wife?), the agencies building the polls and the agencies PAYing for the polls have no interest in the honesty of such polls. Outcomes are the reason for polls. Not to SEE how you think, but to see to that you think THEIR way. Ask any honest or conservative Public Policy graduate from any university.

They have been broken since ABC admitted freely that they added/subtracted poll numbers of those they liked or disliked. It was Mark Halperin who opened his big mouth, and it seems after that he was quietly put into oblivion for letting the cat out of the bag. I am sure the polls were dodgy before that, but Halperin simply proved the truth about polls.

I'm sick of these poll sampling 24, 25, 26% republicans... folks - any poll doing that is garbage, period! These polls methodology is even worse now that they were in 2016 - can you believe... I mean actually believe... that the Fox Poll has Biden leading in handling the economy? That, my friends, is Fonzie jumping the shark - the Fox Polls are ridiculous and we have to put up Fox News constantly throwing them in our face, like that are the gospel of Jesus Christ - that are trash and those who quote them ought to be ashamed of themselves!

The people taking the polls are broken, but that is not precise, and is too nice. The truth is the pollsters are dishonest hucksters for the Democrat Party, and their polls are nothing but made up numbers, but still that is too nicely expressed. I wish I could find the words to describe the dishonesty of these hucksters, but I just cannot be as mean, nasty, and dishonest as they are.

Polls can be directed to areas that have been gerrymandered. Take the poll in a primarily Democrat district and you will get the desired results of the poll, Democrat or Republican. Polls must be taken at random an computers could be used to generate random numbers at random location vice the directed polls to gerrymandered areas.

Follow the money. What political consultant, staffer, or media employee wants a poll showing the incumbent winning easily? This is about fundraising. Salaries. Money changing hands. The media and our "campaign industrial complex" needs a hard-fought, close run horse race. Not a walk though. Not Andre the Giant fighting Jerry Lewis.
The polls are about MONEY.

When I have to worry about my home and car being vandalized if I have a Trump sign or sticker visible, why would I announce to someone I don't even know who could actually be BLM who I support. That would not be wise. I don't talk politics to people I don't know so why would I tell anything to someone who says they are a pollster.
