I cringe every time I hear “the polls”. It’s all a manipulation tool and honestly I’m sickened that conservatives STILL throw these made up numbers in our faces to manipulate us as well. STOP GIVING MERIT TO THE MADE UP NUMBER SCAM! Trump keeps talking about polls and I want to 🤮. STOP IT. STOP IT ALREADY. Not one “poll” is worth occupying our brain functions. Get off the poll train already 🤦🏼‍♀️

Rush used to (correctly) state that early polls are simply influencing tools, designed to push voters one way or another. The only polls that one should consider trusting are those published mere weeks before an election - when the pollsters' reputation and ability to continue earning contracts, is actually on the line.

Gosh, I miss Rush! Wouldn't it be great to have him on the air right now???

Even then. Remember 2016. All the way to the bitter end she had a landslide. 🙄

Manipulation from every angle. What a farce. And the fact that anyone wants their time on them is beyond me. Just like people still wearing the snot muzzles in the car alone (or at all).

exit polls are the only accurate ones. so accurate that they had to be discontinued to keep the scam going.

I always wonder if even the exit polls are accurate. Many might not want to reveal who they voted for on leaving the polls. Or they might lie.

I seem to recall that during the primary between Clinton and Sanders, that the exit poll data was deviating from the election results by more than the

acceptable margin of error. So, they then stopped taking exit polls.

the polls are a tool to calibrate the cheating to make the rigged results believable. These criminals will steal 51% of the vote if they have to to get branon over the finish line- including republicans!

I totally agree! Rush was always Right.

I’ve detested polls since I became politically engaged (when Carter was elected).
