"Trump's biggest lead since March....blah, blah, blah....small number remaining of undecided voters....blah, blah, blah."
Damn polls become self-fulfilling prophecies because it depresses turnout, IMO.

At this point, polls don't mean anything.

(3,322 posts)That headline seemed to deter many from going to the polls in 2016. This could be the same but suppress GOP votes and give reason for Dems to GOTV!!

(11,599 posts)We also have to been on guard against voter intimidation by Typhoid Donnie's minions. It's already happening but it will get worse on election day. Plus we have to worry about postal processing centers sitting on ballots. I doubt if the Miami/Dade situation is an isolated incident.

I've been following the polling because it interests me but I take the results with a huge grain of salt. I know that people are wary of them due to what happened 4 years ago. I take some comfort from the fact that Biden's numbers have been consistently good. He's in much better shape than Hillary was at this point in the race. I wouldn't panic over an outlier poll like this one.
