minus-squareStovetop@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up27·2 months agoA lot of polling organizations are still in the practice of just calling numbers in random parts of the country and asking who you plan to vote for. Who still answers random numbers they don’t recognize? The answer is old people.

minus-squareMrTomS@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up14·2 months agoPolls have never been that accurate and they’re getting worse. Romney ahead of Obama in polls I’m not suggesting folks get complacent but I wouldn’t lose sleep over any polls this far out. The fact that Trump has ANY support is worrying though.

minus-squareJaysyn@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up8·2 months agoThe really weird thing is how the Democrats have been beating those polls nationwide by 9+ points since Roe v. Wade was overturned. It’s almost like the media needs a horse race.
