I knew this was going to be about Trump as everyone is running scared.

Basic questions to see if the person qualifies - gender - I answered male even tho I'm a female, Race - answered Hispanic - even tho we're caucasion, age - i answered correctly, Party affiliation - answered Republican even tho I'm a DemI then was asked who'd I'd vote for - answered Trump, I was then given 4 negative comments about Trump - all taken out of context and completely false ( one of which he said he'd punish a female if she had an abortion - no he said if it was illegal then she should be punished )and asked if they would sway my opinion somewhat, greatly, does not matter - I answered does not matter because you are not providing me with a truthful statement. Ended with if the election was held tomorrow - who would you vote for - Trump.

#1 - they can't get voters to do these surveys - due to the repeated calls. #2 I am sure I'm not the only one - fed up with the calls that are skewing the poll and #3 the statements asked were not even correct. They are depending on people not being informed and thus skewing the polls with their rhetoric - and are not independent but fabricated to achieve the results they want to present as what people on America are thinking.
Polls are just polls, nothing more and nothing less. They mean to different people and different organizations different things, but don't think you are so smart to think pollsters are so dumb. They take into account what people like you might decide to do, and everyone fully recognizes there is a margin of error, but statistically speaking they can be informative, especially to candidates and organizations attempting to get a read on how people are feeling and/or thinking, they serve a purpose -- and that is why the money is spent to do them.

Personally, I am not one to pay much attention to polls (or these poll threads), but much like checking on the odds as to which team is favored to win a game. Polls tend to provide that sort of insight even if not entirely accurate, even if not always right, but most of the time, close enough.

Best you can get, in any case, when trying to predict the future...

The only person who is racist is calling others that. There are many black and muslim workers at my husband's plant that are voting for Trump - are they also racist?

Oh - I know about polls supposedly being accurate within a certain %. The fact that this poll falsified the statements is what I am referring to when I say how inaccurate polls like these actually are.

This entire back-and-forth smacks of racism, but that is near impossible to avoid when our glasses tend to be tinted toward one color or another, as of course they tend to be...

Another racist comment by a left winger. Too bad there isn't a bell that goes off every time a liberal shows his true racist colors. Americans would be much better informed of how racist the lefties are.

Are you through projecting? Because I hear the White Nationalists need help picking out Donald's cabinet. Care to give them a hand?

White supremacist party wants Coulter, Palin working for 'President Trump' | Sun Times National

Speaking of polls, if you conducted one for all these hate groups, Trump would undoubtedly get the lion's share of their support

Thank you for making my point again about your racist comments and exposing yourself for being a racist.
