Poll after poll is generating the response that the billionaires want. It's time to ditch the polls and use our own common sense. Life was horrible during the trump regime and I and millions more voted for needed change in 2000.

I don't understand this. There was a poll with Biden ahead by 5 points recently, is that the result billionaires want? Any given poll can of course be an outlier, but taken in aggregate trends emerge that are hard to ignore. And they can be useful to guide a plan to change sentiment. The idea that we should dismiss polls just because we don't like the result feels like dangerous head-in-the-sand-ism to me.

The validity of an aggregate of polls really depends on what has been aggregated. There are a lot of push polls, poorly designed polls, polls which are vague on their methodology, polls that are reported on without mentioning the margin or error.

Interesting dilemma. Trumpism has created a world where up is down and wrong is right. It seems more likely that the aggregate reflects well poisining by those with the resources to do that.
