Sometimes polls lean left, sometimes they lean right. While polls generally leaned left in 2014, they leaned right in 2012 and 2010. In the aggregate they're usually not too bad and public support, for example, of gay marriage is between 55-60% with under 40% against and a good number undecided.
Crying that you don't believe the polls is usually pretty silly.
Who's crying? So far you're the closest one merely because I said I don't trust the MSM's polls.
I could write pages about how easily how polls can be manipulated by the phrasing of the questions, the available multiple choice answers, the place that the poll is conducted, the targeted demographic, the time of day that the landlines are called...
In short, remember in both the 2008 and 2012 Republican primaries how Ron Paul won the online polls by epic landslides? Regular polls are just as easily manipulated, the MSM just keeps the results close with their desired result to maintain the illusion of believability.
What name would you approve?
Why would I name a piece of legislation that I wouldn't approve of?
Perhaps a name that doesn't represent the 'lack of transparency' to decieve 'stupid american voters,' as Obamacare's chief author bragged about.
And wasn't too uncommon in 2010 or 2012. It was less common in 2014, granted, but the senate seats up 2014 we much different than those in play in 2016.
Indeed, we shall see huge poll numbers predicting big landslides for Democrat Senate candidates, that's guaranteed. Seeing if they're actually going to come close to the election results, is another.
Oh, one more short thing about polls I bet you didn't know. If you see poll numbers in the media for your candidate, does it make you more excited to vote for them? Studies say it does, at least to the masses. How about if your candidate has very low poll numbers? Chances are, you'll stay home. Why bother waste your time voting for someone that's going to lose? Same with the masses. MSM polls are, by design, conducted to encourage Democrat voters to show up to vote while discourages Republican voters.
For example, Mitch McConnell's opponent for his senate seat in Nov'14 was dead even with him in the days prior to the election, a few weeks out before the election she was up by 4 or 5 points depending upon the poll. So, exactly how did McConnell win the election by 18 points? It wasn't even close. She had no chance at any point. But the MSM wanted badly for her to win, thus the poll numbers.
Find me an example that this happened in the reverse for the other party.
Oh right, you're the guy that thinks McCain would have won if it weren't for the "MSM". No shock you've a tenuous grasp on reality. Stick to discussing military hardware.
Never said McCain would have won if it wasn't for the MSM. I said McCain
could have won he wasn't such a coward about what the MSM would say about him if he played hardball in a Presidential election.
First, they'd call him an extremist.
