The Hill (of course it’s a different opinion) has an article up that caught my paranoid mind’s attention: Don't believe the polls — Trump is winning.
If you’ve never been over there, please be aware that they are always on the Republican side of everything — so, of course, this is what they are saying.
But I took a look at the arguments so you wouldn’t have to and got a lot of comfort from what I saw. The arguments attack the pollsters as being biased and unreliable. They cite the tone of the questions asked, and the methods used to select respondents. And their third reason is (oh let me just give it to you):
Third, the content of the current news cycle. What’s going on in a particular moment in time can influence voter attitudes, particularly in swing states. For example, the recent revelation of Hunter Biden’s hidden emails on his laptop, coupled with the link to his father, has come at an opportune time for the president. Moreover, if the economic recovery continues, the good news may continue putting wind in Trump’s sails.
Wow, the October Surprise is apparently turning massive numbers of Biden voters into Trump fanatics!
So, in conclusion, if we assume that the pollsters are asking:
Are you voting for that pond scum, Orange menace, incumbent President, or the second coming of Christ himself, Joe Biden?
AND
The pollsters are only calling Registered Democrats who have spent at least 8 hours each day since February campaigning for Biden.
AND
The real world including a vast number of voters implicitly believe Rudi Gullianni.
Then, yes, we can disbelieve all the polls and feel confident that Trump is winning — “bigly,”
Otherwise, I suggest not bothering to read it.
