I have said this about every poll the Dems keep posting how Trump has no chance and i'll say it about this poll. After 2016 you have to be a fool to believe polls. All you are doing is feeding your own viewpoints. Those who make the polls proved themselves incompetent last time. We will see in a few weeks if they have gotten their act together and deserve to be listened to again. If they are wrong again its time they go off and find other employment.

LOL. sooo....your argument is that...now that a ton of votes are already in, him polling higher will save him. Got it.


Also heres a link to the actual poll. Which has a margin of error of....4.9%

See that margin of error? Yeah. Even better? The thing is on "likely voters" in a year with record turnouts. Yeah this is not as reliable as you might think.

Polls are not meant to show real statistics. They are meant to Influence those statistics by giving all the social media fanatics links to like and share and fill their bubble with.

So basically they either pick Trump or Biden,...a 50/50 proposition,. C'mon, Man! You'll get the same reliability from Miss Cleo.

LOL. The polls in 2016 weren't bad-they allowed me to predict that Trump would win the electoral before the election, and that he would lose the popular. The problem is that too often people do not understand polls.


And I was not a Trump supporter at all when I predicted his win. Stop thinking polls have no relationship to reality. Start trying to understand what polls mean. People in 2016 failed to do that and started this polls are bad nonsense. People are missing what polls are, or what they mean.

Yeah, you bet. OP is a busy little poster these days. It's more important that he spams the board with an endless stream of threads in support of Trump. Something has got to go, and in this case, the truth is thrown to the wayside.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison survey
Quote:

A new poll finds Joe Biden stretching his lead over President Trump in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania as late-breaking undecided voters say they intend to back the Democratic presidential nominee.

The latest survey of likely voters in the three former “blue wall” states from the Elections Research Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison finds Biden nearly doubling his lead in each state compared to last month.

Crucially, Biden is above the 50 percent mark in all three states, while Trump remains mired in the low to mid-40s.

In Michigan, Biden leads by 10 points, 52 to 42. Five percent of voters remain undecided. The same poll from September found Biden with a 6-point advantage.

The poll from Wisconsin finds Biden leading 53 to 44, with 3 percent undecided. Biden’s 9-point advantage is up from 4 points in September.

The closest state is Pennsylvania, where Biden leads 52 to 44, with 3 percent undecided
. Biden has grown his lead from 4 points in September to 8 points now.
But let's just all shut our eyes and pretend that we didn't just read that one.

How did you do that when the polls said he would lose the electoral college too?

The one quirk with the Madison poll is that they are using a panel of the same people for each survey. Marquette's final poll should be released soon.

It seems to me that the people who want people to not like this poll are Biden supporters... It's just a poll, don't worry about it.... Unless you are worried about it ...
