I've heard the same opinions time and time again, certainly in 2008 and 2012.

Karl Rove is that you???

Meanwhile, although polls are certainly not perfect, hundreds of millions of dollars are spent on polling because they are useful tools in determining which ways the political winds are blowing.

$$$$ hundreds of millions $$$$

Corporations, organizations, businesses, advertising, non-profits, political parties all spend fortunes on polls because they are useful.

Maybe you don't like the polls ... maybe I don't like the polls ... but they cannot be so easily dismissed.

Most Americans don't want another career politician who feels entitled to every whim they carry. Hillary hasn't worked a private sector job in her life. Hillary has zero understanding of how busineses and the private economy works.

Donald loves polls, are you calling the republican nominee naive?

What should be interesting is how much people will listen to her. I believe a large percentage will be staring at her eyes or waiting for her to cough or collapse instead of hearing of her "great plans" for America.

Did you ever come back and apologize for posting openly false information?

So then, I take it you believe the polls are skewed?

Would you be so kind as to unskew them for us?

Or maybe, why not go a step further and actually set up a website where you can provide us the unskewed numbers for each poll as it comes out?

They have been wrong more than right lately but you are correct: at this point they can not be totally dismissed and apparently some are polling people without land lines.

That's because she doesn't have any great plans for America. Please enlighten us and tell us what great plans she has?

Jill Stein.
Jill Stein has zero depth and has offered no way to accomplish even one of her plans.

I don't know how anyone thinks she is a good choice.

Honestly I don't think ANY president has had great plans for American in over 50 years.

I mean JFK pushed NASA to send someone to the moon and came up with the Peace Corps. Since then I can't think of any bold or inspired program coming out of the White House by either the Democrats or the Republicans.
