Dims don't understand simple math....as in the Electoral College.
Anyway, all polls are biased or conducted in such a way to influence the easily manipulated. We saw how biased and inaccurate the polls were in 2016 and that was long before TDS reached its zenith....if Trump is within 15 points in these biased polls, he is going to win.
All we need to know is Trump got MORE electoral votes then hillary! Despite what the polls told us a year and half before the election and all the "prediction" made by the left on here and the LSM!
Electoral vote Trump 304[a] Hillary 227[a]
If memory serves me correctly, the media outlets stated that our great President Trump had less than 1% chance of victory. A few even said that President Trump would have ZERO chance of winning. The alleged "poll numbers" heavily favored HER.
So much for these polls eh? Looks like everything will fall into place once again in 2020.

I've researched the methodology pf many polls and have found they poll MORE dems and Inds then repubs, so it makes sense the "results" they come up with.
The repubs control MORE State Gov's and legislators so how can it be when they poll MORE dems and Inds.
IF we used raw numbers instead of the Electoral College it would make sense to believe in them. Since we DON'T, they are useless.
You are assuming, based on absolutely no evidence, that the people polled are not Americans therefore the results have to be wrong or at minimum, misleading.
If the report states “Americans” why would you assume otherwise?
Do you think that market research companies would risk legal action by misreporting their sample?
So how did Trump get his internal polling numbers? You know, the ones Manafort shared with the Russian's who spread lies and conspiracy theories to specifically targeted areas?
