Polls are expensive. If the #Media masters commission you for a poll and you give Trump a 56% approval rate, they won't hire you again. — PolitiTweet.org

Because polling is no longer scientific based upon 6% response rates, they are really just group think. At this point in the campaign, they are whatever the people paying for them want them to be. On Nov 4th 2020, no one will wonder why a January 17th poll got it wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

Why do polls always "tighten" towards the Republican as Election Day approaches? Because no one wants to miss by 10 points. They need to get "close" but realize, if they are all close but still equally wrong, they can blame the process and not intent. — PolitiTweet.org
