I posted this a week or so ago. An article about public doubts about polls. The Brookings Institute is the publisher.

Article quote:

Some of the doubts are about pollsters’ methods. Do they ask the right questions? Are they manipulating the wording of questions to get the responses they want? And whom did they interview? Some of the doubts are wrapped up in a mistrust of the political parties, marketers, and media giants that pay for the polls.

But it is precisely because of our respect for polling that we are disturbed by many things done in its name. When interest groups commission pollsters to ask leading questions to gather “scientific” proof that the public agrees with whatever demand they are making on government, they demean polling and mislead the public.

Polling is a tool, not a principle. The authors in this issue come neither to praise nor to bury polling. They do, however, acknowledge how important it has become in our democracy. They stress Ronald Reagan’s “trust but verify” rule.

Trump for prison in 2020!

lol ...

rich people have loopholes and attorneys and scapegoats to keep them out of jail.

but seriously, Get Out and Vote, we have close races because people dont vote and think it doesnt matter. but the Electoral college gives all their VOTES for their state to whoever gets more of the popular vote. Bush had less than 600 votes in Florida that put him over the top by getting their electoral portion.

Trump had nowhere near that small, 20000 or 30000 votes in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, that sent him over the top with their combined 46 electoral votes, but if those people would have just made it out to vote ...

point is,

your vote, IN YOUR STATE, can make a difference, please go vote.
