Is this one of the days where polls suddenly matter again?
So polls don't matter?
OK
No, they really don't. It appears polls only matter around here when they support one's views. If not, they are dismissed as fake or biased.
It is very clear to see that most polls are biased towards Democrats.
Look at the methodology of almost all the polls. And they generally have more Democrats then GOP in the poll.
I went to 4 different polls. All the polls had MORE Democrats then GOP.
