No that is a serious question-he never used to look and sound like he does lately.
Has nothing to do with who or what he supports.

Polls are the best guess of a percentage chance of a candidate winning. 30% means 3 times out of ten the candidate will win. If someone told you your roof has a 30% chance of caving in, you’d still take it seriously as something that could happen.

Of course, there’s a big margin of error, but it’s still the best tool available.

I heard the stat of something like it takes 5 calls to R's to 1 call to a D to get someone to respond. So if they don't get enough R's they weight up the ones they do get to respond to fill in the pool. Problem is the ones that are responding are generally not Trump friendly.

That's because the R's are out working, while the D's are home on Gubmint cheese.

Perhaps but most pills are in the late evenings.

We just don't want to talk to pollsters.

the numbers are so outrageous they have to be fake , wrong , skewed ,ect...

the election is to close to call by everything I have seen

but let JOE think he has this so wrapped up it will be absolutely historic.


I think the only thing historic about this election will be the amount of lost ballots


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I love getting calls from pollsters.

By the time they hang up, they are a little befuddled, trying to figure out why a gay, black, registered Democrat supports Trump!

You all do realize the number of respondents to these polls is usually less than 1000, most times only 6-700. How can that be accurate.

In my 5+ decades of being am eligible voter have never been contacted by a pollster. Guess that stands to reason with the above statement. Also think the same people get called time after time.


Enjoy Mother Nature's Glory, everyday!

Once one opens the mind to the plausible, the unbelievable becomes possible!

And, most likely, they won't be wrong.

What makes polls somewhat accurate is that they don't just get x amount of people to respond. They have a modem based on what they think the electorate is and try to find people that fit in that model. If the models are wrong then the results will be way off.

Only polls I watch are Trafalgar polls. They were right last time and will be right again.

Boco, to be completely honest, I noticed the same thing with Don Jr last night. That is the only time Ive noticed anything like that from him. I think he was just wound up and excited; but it was noticeable. two good friends of mine know him personally, and they both say he is a great guy and straight shooter.

All the interviews I see with Jr. He's always kinda wired up.
