I keep seeing all these election polls thrown around as if they mean something. Did they think we all forgot how completely wrong all the polling for the 2016 Presidential race was? What is your take?

What is your take?

Polls are an accurate representation.
Polls are not accurate.
Are you seriously making a poll on the accuracy of polls, wtf is wrong with you?
Polls are a MSM JQ tool used in an effort to influence public opinion and voter turnout.

I like to lie on polls so it ruins the data anyway.

Polls show Hillary with a 95% chance of winning the 2020 DNC primary. /s

The validity of polls died in 2016. You can only believe them if you are the one collecting the sample and administering the poll.

It's really easy to get the results you want from a poll. Some polls out of Iowa this week show this perfectly - in one, Bernie is over Biden and in the other it is the opposite. The difference comes in follow up questions regarding voting habits. In the poll Biden was leading, they asked if the person voted in 2018, 2016 and 2014 to determine if they were/are a likely voter. In the poll Bernie was leading, they didn't ask those questions. That poll could have spoken to a 7 year old that would vote for Bernie but can't, legally, do so and they counted them as a vote for Bernie.

The most important things about polls is the questions.

100% correct. The methodology on how the poll it conducted makes a huge difference.

I actually like strippers. Democrats, not so much.
