Do you believe polls? Those we see on the news about the president election.
Have you ever participated?
Do you know anyone who has participated?
I have never participated nor do I know anyone who has.
I just right it off as fake news.

Most are constructed to manipulate the data. You would have to see who did the polling, how big was the poll, what questions did they ask, who did they ask, and what variables could possibly manipulate the data. Most articles do not in include these questions and even the source may not include it either. We all saw the bias in polling during the 2016 election. It is best to just ignore them and go vote in person.

I would think the old saying "you get what you pay for" applies to Polls. I am not very political, so I do not pay much attention to Polls or Politics. I have received a letter in the mail twice to participate in that Television Poll. The one where you track what you watch and how often. I never filled it out because it would have been quite short, and not very useful to them.

I don't believe the national election polls. I recall in 2016 the concubine of satan had to get schools emptied to get enough people to make a showing in the photos, president Trump had a very large turn out consistently, same as this election. I enjoy seeing the responses on Facebook to posts and take that as a more accurate barometer of the peoples thoughts. These show me another Trump Victory and is in line with several prophetic words in 2016 that he would be a two term president.

Its not about believing, the question do you know anyone that has actually participated?
I do not.

I have not and I do not know anyone who has, though I don't go around asking people what they click on all day.
I have thought about clicking the ones that pop up on my screen " ARE YOU VOTING BIDEN" just for the fun of it so I can enjoy clicking NO! ( I honestly wonder if I could do it again and again and again since it comes up on so many sites.....)

And I honestly wonder just how many people have done so and click "yes" over and over........ thus really throwing true counts off)

but I have not and will not.

I heard one tv personality mention that dem polls show a lead since many of theirs don't have jobs and are available to answer polls, those with jobs aren't counted and vote for God's Own Party.:);)(y)

The polls data is a pot of questions asked to a group of people. Polling results are based on the interpretation of that data.

Everyone could tell the pollster that they are voting for Trump, but on the basis of all the questions, Biden will end up with the lead. Most pollsters never ask a person who he is voting for. The questions are more like from 1 to 10 how do you feel about an issue.

You can bet that the interpretation of the results will favor the person(s) publishing the poll's views.
