1 Wednesday night Trump was a guest -- and a big hit -- on Greg Gutfeld's evening TV show on Fox. Thursday the gang was discussing how polling works, and as so often is the case, Tyrus was the smart one. He pointed out that a lot of women are supporting the Cacklebunny because, well, they're women, and if a pollster asks a man for his opinion while the woman is present, if he wants to continue to enjoy being her man, he's going to say "Oh, yeah, Kamala, of course" no matter what he really thinks -- which is probably "Trump all the way." (I'm paraphrasing here -- Tyrus did it better, of course.)

Don't believe the polls.

2 Sortt of a version of the Wilder Effect Dana. People telling pollsterswhat they think the pollsters want to hear so as not to be ill-thought-of.

I have no doubt that is true.

I also have no doubt they are oversampling Democrats, which they always do.

Polls are not to ascertain what the public thinks in our modern era so much as to lead public opinion, create a bandwagon. We've seen it time and again, the Democrat takes a big lead and the race tightens to a photo finish at the very end (when the pollsters have to save their reputations.)

Of course those polls take a long time too and Democrats usually are the ones not at work making a living.

At any rate Trump was always behind in the polls and actually was doing much better than predicted. I think if this election is on the up and up (something that won't happen, of course) Trump would win by at least 5 points.
