Why is poll data constantly posted here when most here believe
that it's bogus information?

I once mentioned a concern about the race being so close but quickly had rebuttals saying it's just MSM crap.

If it's crap, then why does DU allow. Stop spreading the lie.

2. Polls are used to manipulate, especially this far out.........
so I try not to like the good or bad ones.

Half of winning an election is having voters believe that a candidate "can" win, and will "win". The media and paid pollsters know this, and they work in tandem to exploit this proven fact.

I do not believe it is a good thing that we follow polls on a daily basis in August and have our hearts going up and down with them....as they tend to "control" campaigns in a way that is not healthy or true.
