Suppose, just suppose it's your polling that's fiction. Do you hold them accountable, or just chalk it up to Trump voters are loony? How would you feel if for whatever the reason they simply inflate the numbers, trying to suppress Republican voters? Is that misleading, or just gamesmanship?
I guess what I want to know is do you want the media to put out factual material, or just be opinion writers?
Legitimate question: How would pollsters inflating Democratic totals suppress Republican voters?
I fail to understand this logic. If anything, my understanding would be that this interference would only hurt the Dems by giving voters a false sense of security.
Of course, there's no evidence for this. In 2012, polling error underestimated Dems. In 2016, Trump won many undecided voters and polls underestimated white non-college voter lean towards Trump. In 2018, the polls were pretty good, generally.
