National polls have Joe Biden ahead. State polls are tightening, but still give him an edge. However, Trump is outperforming his polling in 2016 in many battleground states. Is Trump headed for another surprise victory? According to pollster Frank Luntz, if Trump defies the polls again, his “profession is done.” “I hate to acknowledge it, because that’s my industry — at least partially — but the public will have no faith. No confidence. Right now, the biggest issue is the trust deficit,” Luntz told Bret Baier of Fox News. “Pollsters did not do a good job in 2016. So, if

Frank Luntz is one of the most annoying people on TV. I hate his "undecided" audiences! They try to sound soooo intelligent and that is whey they are undecided when actually those silly people are just uninformed.

Oh Frankie, you did it to yourself. You and your partners in crime have been so inept and in cahoots with Dems instead of truth that of course no one believes you anymore. What is not your fault is that in the face of anti-Trump violence polls hadn't a prayer of finding honest results. Hell, people are afraid to fly an American flag now. But maybe there is hope for your profession. Switch to marketing and polling for Madison Avenue. They'll always want to know which laundry soap people prefer.

Luntz is done based on the email on Hunter's laptop that says he called the race for Biden, even though Ryan was a client.

No you little fat toadie. There are polling companies that are showing a Trump win. They don't oversample democrats by 10 points or ask slanted questions that produce your desired outcome.

You people are a joke.
You are trying like heck to get a win but saying someone is behind doesn't get the job done.
If there is any patriotism left in America Trump will win in a landslide, and Biden's son will end up in jail

I was trying to explain to my husband that the best liars are conservative suburban house wives. They have to pretend to like and get alone with so many people, teachers, spouses boss/coworkers/friends/family, co-workers, childrens friends, childrens friends parents, loud mouth liberals with no filter and others that lack self awareness.

The trouble for pollsters is that the public they rely on to supply them with honest answers has become jaded and untrusting. Many don't answer the questions at all or answer them dishonestly due to disdain or fear. Perhaps Luntz should cut the nonsense and find another line of work because even if Biden wins Luntz is a dinosaur.

Luntz should learn to code! If the people who realize that DJT is best for the USA, will hold him firmly in their hearts and in their prayers those prayers WILL be answered. Believe in what you know to be right and just and hold it firmly so that when things happening behind the scenes come to light, YOU will have a share in the success and in the fruit that comes from those prayers. There are voters who NEVER EVER voted for a conservative before are ''secretly'' voting that way now. Additionally, do NOT give up on AG Barr. The wheels of justice move slowly, but exceedingly fine.

What public good is accomplished by polling? The folks who rely on polling are the folks who want to sell you something: a car, an app, or a pol. The hoi polloi don't benifit. The pols use polling to craft their public statements into a form that they believe will gain them votes.
And especially in this era, when the Left has ripped off its mask and revealed the bare-knuckled Fascists they have always been, many conservatives will either refuse to answer polls or will give a false answer in order to avoid being "exposed" as an Enemy of the People.

After DJT is re-elected, CNN can hire Luntz to do independent polls. The first one being on Jeffrey Toobin's Zoom call techniques.

Yup! What good is a propaganda organization that has no power to persuade? You have to realize that the polls are a tool that the media and politicians use to STEER public opinion, NOT to figure out what the public wants. It's easy to "divine" what the public "thinks" when you are putting the thoughts in their heads. Trust and credibility was KEY to this process.
But a while back someone came along that liberated people's thinking and convinced them that the media was NOT to be trusted, including their rigged polls. The reason the polls now have a hard time predicting outcomes is because fewer people are allowing themselves to be steered by those polls and the associated media propaganda. People are also refusing to participate because they correctly believe their opinions are being distorted.
Fortunately, the egos and gamesmanship of the media and pollsters wouldn't let them back off. THEY control news and public opinion. It's their RIGHT! Everything they have been doing makes their attitude more obvious and proves they are unworthy of the positions they hold. Their credibility is destroyed and along with it, their value.
No tears will be shed for them. They have done enormous damage to this great Country and allowed massive corruption of our political structures. They deserve what is happening to them, with hopefully more to come when Trump is reelected.

The problem with Luntz is that he thinks we are still in the age of dial-up phones, newspapers, and when most folks told the truth, if asked. Today, many people will NOT answer a call that is not in their contact list, block unwanted calls, use the internet for news, rarely if ever read a newspaper, and often do not tell the truth, if asked a poll question. Who the heck are they polling ? The same people over and over. I have never been polled and would not answer a poll question if asked. It is no one's business who I will vote for or who I voted for. PERIOD.

As another poster said, I don’t answer any caller not in my contact list. Almost all are either those endless calls about my expired car warranty or a scam. One call the other day said there was criminal activity on my SS account and a warrant would be issued for my arrest if I didn’t call them for help. LOL.
I have seen a few apps that promise to block those calls. Any tips on the best one?

Polls say whatever those paying for them want it to say...It's that simple. There are no rules or regulations on this farce, they are all filled with loaded questions, rigged polling samplings and nothing but a political Lucy Football...Welcome to Charlie Browns world where he never gets to kick the ball, is always lied to and guess what, he never gets a clue...well Poll taker boys and girls and all 87 other genders, take your polls and pound sand, I'm tired of the pathetic political games!
