Fast and furious: That is how the polls are arriving at the moment, cascading into news coverage as Election Day looms large. In the past 48 hours, horse race polls were released by NBC News/Wall Street Journal, Fox News, CBS News, CNN, ABC/Washington Post, The New York Times/Siena College and Emerson College. More are on the way.
These surveys are intricate and often embellished with findings that gauge voter enthusiasm, push Democratic nominee Joseph R. Biden’s lead in swing states, or compare his personality traits with those of President Trump. Such findings often make their way into headlines that produce bad optics for Mr. Trump

“These surveys are intricate and often embellished with findings that gauge voter enthusiasm, push Democratic nominee Joseph R. Biden’s lead in swing states, or compare his personality traits with those of President Trump.”
Joe Biden’s “personality” was well and definitely exposed to me during the Supreme Court hearings of Justice Clarence Thomas. I was sickened and angered by Biden’s vicious “personality”. The horrible and filthy things I’ve learned about him since that time have disgusted me even more.
The lies and cover-ups by “news media, et al., and overwhelming fraud, are the ONLY things he has to depend on and hope for to “win”. That is a perfect representation of Joe Biden’s personality.
“Sen. Kamala Harris gives no evidence of being ready to be president,” the Post-Gazette said.”
And, furthermore, she NEVER WILL!

Just remember 2016. Rachel Madcow proclaiming, "There's no way Trump can win."

News aggregators (notably and reverently , this one) are making it easier to study the issues, and the candidates. It's hard to imagine where we'd be without this source and others like it. I am grateful for the Lucianne and Rush diet . Our local 50,000 watt AM station is unabashedly conservative but I am reminded at the top of each hour's news that even FOX has decided to stay in the same lanes of the Boston/DC media.

"A formal study" of poll fakery would be pointless, like asking Hillary to investigate "Russian collusion". Shortly, we will see the polls have been seriously wrong throughout this election cycle as they were for 2016. For whatever the reason, polls cannot be trusted and are therefore worthless. As Luntz said, if they got this wrong, his industry is in major trouble; as it deserves to be.
Media is criticized for not covering issues important to voters. Hmmm, wonder why? Maybe because Trump DOMINATES all those issues and Biden has accomplished almost nothing in 47 years except to enrich himself?
However, the biggest problem is that the Left/dems/media/Never Trump have completely abandoned objective reality. When confirmed evidence of corruption is exposed and everyone on the dem side REFUSES to cover it and even actively BLOCKS others from discussing it, we KNOW we are no longer in the land of free speech and truth and are instead in propaganda land. There can be no serious discussions or rational decisions made when dealing with dishonest brokers, which the liberals not only accept but fully embrace and even celebrate.
“All of the cities where Election Day rioting is expected have one thing in common: They’re run by Democrats”
And don't think voters are not fully aware of it. Liberals know it but think it is justified since they think the end of the world is nigh. Even the mushy middle is aware of the dem mayors and dem governors that are allowing long term sieges on their citizens. Many dems have noted that this is an abrogation of the primary duties of government, to protect the People and their property and to maintain order. No matter the smokescreen the liberals tried to lay down it is incandescently clear that these "protests" are NOT "peaceful".
It is clear that the majority of voters, not immersed in politics, are lazy. It was easier to belong to a party and vote for them, no matter what. Now, that ease of decision has been shattered. They have to figure things out themselves. Then they are confronted with an array of news sources and they find that, like their politicians, they can't be certain of the news sources anymore. Now they need to shop for information and try to figure out WHO they can trust. Often, they need to make that decision on an issue by issue basis. One source might be good for health care issues but not immigration issues. All this requires a LOT of reading and sifting of raw data. They might try to turn to friends and family but find that these people are uncertain as well. There is a political earthquake in progress and solid ground is hard to find and that is troublesome and scary.
Fortuitously, though painful, an awakening and awareness of the electorate is a VERY good thing. It will also prove deadly to dems since their basis of governing is through deceit and all the institutions and groups that help them perpetrate that deceit will pay a price for it.

Fortunately, hardly anyone believes either the polls or the media anymore. We all know what their game is. They have become the propaganda arm of the socialist/communist/democrat party, or whatever they are calling themselves these days.

Im sick and tired of polls especially The Real Clear Politics Average. News readers act like these numbers are from God. Take these polls and stick them where the sun don’t shine.

Americans have learned about the media and polls. We are not static zombies, stuck in the '80s.
The MSM has not learned. It keeps trying the same thing, with the same results. The MSM's days of glory are over! It killed itself...

If one assumes there is "cold anger" lurking out there, broken glass MAGA voters, then these "suppression" articles are likely to have the wrong effect. They will motivate those expected to be the "Red Wave" to get out, their vote being essential to defeat Biden-Harris and all they represent. We shall see.

Real Clear Politics average of polls is a lagging indicator and cannot be trusted. They try to aggregate information from multiple sources that use different sampling methods, sample sizes and weighting. The best poll out there is called an "election".
