Astroturfed bullshit so Trump can call foul when he loses.

From the article:

If you look at early votes, Republicans are doing better in every close state other than Pennsylvania. So assuming there's a correlation with party affiliation, the polls are probably correct. If Harris is going to pull this off, she needs to address the ground game in these pivotal states.

Meh, no way he'll win anyway.

But it creates the pretext that the results will be different than the polls were and gives him cover to raise all the election interference claims that you know are coming.

You have no evidence of this. Pollsters may have their own political slant but candidates of both parties want to know the accurate numbers of where their candidate stands.

Some of the NYT polls have looked more favorable for Trump than other pollsters as well.

Meh, no way Trump is gonna win. Do you think he's going to win?

markstos@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y (1 reply)

He is polling within the margin of error.

UniversalMonk@lemmy.world · -18 pts · 1y

He won't win.

I've asked this before, but exactly is your goal here? Are you a masochist, or just lonely?

UniversalMonk@lemmy.world · -18 pts · 1y (2 replies)

I don't have a goal. I'm here because I follow political news. What's your goal here?

And when the elections are over, are you going to delete your account?

UniversalMonk@lemmy.world · -17 pts · 1y

Why would I? I love Lemmy. Thanks, friend! :)
