In reply to the discussion: From now on, I'm considering ALL negative posts and polls about President Biden as not supporting Democrats. [View all]Think. Again.
(9,193 posts)65. I think the polls saying that Clinton was going to win big in 2016...
...DID keep Democratic voters complacent, and also allowed some Democratic-leaning voters to feel comfortable in casting a third party protest vote.
That is definitely one of the dangers of pre-election polling, especially since it's so easy to manipulate the results of polls.
I personally believe all of our effort and discussion from here until November should be focussed on getting out the voters for Biden.

I don't really think that it matters how good Biden is (and he is good) or how bad Trump is (and he is awful).

I don't believe them. Trump doesn't have moderates, even a good portion of republicans support.

+1 rec. Magically, the polls will start to coalesce into the real number and safely inside the shitty MoE.
