Remember that the media needs a close race to keep your attention and get you watching their ads.

Yep, they sampled 3 times as many republicans as democrats to get the "close race: they need.

That's a poll made up of 397 Democrats and 898 republicans.

Remember, all media is driven by revenue.

I don’t agree. This is supposed to be from a neutral news org. This isn’t a poll issued from a political party.

If there is a bias or over sampling the news org has a duty to inform the public.

Polls are often made in a way to give a result that the company making them wants.

They're designed to manipulate people, if people see only Reps and Dems have a chance, they'll only vote Reps and Dems.... so polls are important for keeping the two main parties in their dictatorship.

Yep, I’ve always said polls were pointless, you can make them say anything you want, they always oversample someone one way or another.

Skewed polls. Aren't they wonderful?

Why is everyone using polls, paying for them? The premises of the OP are the issue.

Pollsters can only reach very elderly people, that still have a land line, or the Magadonians, that aren't smart enough to use a call blocker on their smartphone.

LOL. Whether you like it or not the ball is rolling and it is rolling over Joe Biden.

LOL People pay to get accurate information. What else fuck would they pay for? If you don't care for the result, why even spend the money? Just go with your gut and write the story.

And, what the fuck are you bent out of shape for? Do you work for CNN? Jeez.
 
National polls aren’t useful enough.

There are a handful of states that will determine the outcome. We need state polls, not national ones.
