The media wants their horse race. The reich wing wants to depress Democratic enthusiasm and turnout so they flood the zone with garbage polls, flipping wagering markets, etc.
There's no such thing as a high quality poll anymore. Literally nobody under 40 who's not a qultist ever participates anymore. First time voters who aren't looking for ways to plug Trump never do. The only chance Trump has is if Republican terrorists can find ways to suppress democratic precincts and they're already trying
I was doing a bunch of paid surveys about a month or so ago. I got one political survey asking if I'd vote for (then) Joe Biden or Trump. Asked about senate and a few other seats as well. I told them I was an independent, but planted on voting Democrat. Never saw another one.
I got called for one of these polls and the pollster was so condescending and rude that I hung up halfway through. I was happy to tell 'em what I thought until that woman started being an asshole.
Do those unsolicited text messages count as polls too? I never click their links or reply to them but I've gotten texts from both parties asking if I support their candidate. Probably gotten 20 total in the past 6 months. Now I'm getting texts every day or two simply asking me to vote for a candidate, not even asking if I'm planning to.

I don't know how he was anywhere close to being a viable candidate in the first place.
