1. Let me be up front. I cannot prove what follows.

   People conducting polls have a difficult time getting people to answer phone calls. Then they have a hard time getting people to answer questions. They keep track of those numbers that are responsive and keep calling them. Add “push polling”, the careful shaping of questions to produce a desired outcome, and the end result has about as much validity as an Ouija board.

   The way Shillary will win is by way of voter fraud. Manipulated electronic counting systems, dead voters, ineligible voters, etc. Don’t see much effort by the GOP and the Trump camp to do the hard work of recruiting election judges. Much more important than “turning out the vote”. The Demorats have been stacking the deck with election judges for decades.

   • You see, WSF, those are my feelings as well, which is why I seldom if ever place any credence in polls. Who wants to be polled? Who wants to answer the phone for a poll? I don’t.

     HOWEVER, if I DO, and I can suss out the THRUST of the questions — that is to say, in what manner the questions themselves are trying to skew the process — I purposely give a skewed answer.

     I never, repeat, NEVER give my actual beliefs or feelings to a pollster. I ALWAYS LIE.

     My small lot in life.

     And if I CAN do that, then so can ANYone else.

     • You are smarter than me. Last polling call I received.

       “I need to speak to the registered voter at this number. Is that you”?

       “What the hell are you bothering me for? No, you cannot ask me any questions. Don’t bother me again”.

       Stunned silence, but give the woman credit for grit.

       “Is there another registered voter in the household I can speak to”?

       “No, get lost”.

       • You have to give her a T for tenacity.

2. It would be nice to know who or what conducted this poll.
