So you were talking out your @ss again. Kind of like roundy was doing earlier. 
 

Trump flooded the zone with polls to move the averages…true brilliance. Thank you for yet another gem. 

Again? Such a tough guy. 

 

The plot thickens. Or polls are just voodoo. YMMV.

Truly embarrassing. Scary Larry. If you can point me to the part in that 53 second video where Trump admits to paying for polls to show he’s ahead, I will donate $100 to white guys for Kamala tonight. Did you really just use that as your proof that “the felon is flooding the zone with polls to move the averages”? Good lord. You truly are dull.

Trump actually said he has no use for internal polling, saying he pays some company half a million dollars and they don't tell him anything worthwhile.

(See! I watched it)

1. It’s Trump talking in The video, it’s even queued up to the relevant part (which is exactly why I shared it, not the poster) it Was the first one I found, sorry you have so much trouble with clicking your mouse.
2. There are dozens of articles and videos about this topic as the google would show you if you weren’t such a lazy self righteous ass. 
3. The insults again and again, pathetic and sad.

4. As a matter of charity I have posted the google results below, if you can’t be bothered to read them (or skim as I did) that’s on you.
5. I realize you just like trolling for your knuckling dragging garbage friends on here, cool, I don’t kink shame.

6. I also realize that no answer will satisfy you, not my job any way, and that you’ll just deflect or nit pick or act a turd but here we are on the internet.


here is a YouTube video, I bet you could google the person referenced in it to learn even more.

This is why I still think Nate Silver is the best in the business. Not all polls are created equal! He weights the higher quality polls more heavily, and notes what he calls the "house bias" (R vs. D) of the various reputable polling operations. (The house bias doesn't mean the poll is bad; it just means that for whatever reason certain polls tend to consistently overrate one side or the other by a few points.) And, of course, he completely ignores trash polls.

 

And so he has Kamala leading in the popular vote by a slight margin, but Trump with a very slight edge (we're talking 54% to 46% chance or so, kind of like a football game where the spread is 1 point) in the electoral college.

 

Turnout. Turnout. Turnout.

Which of those “links” details how Donald Trump is flooding the zone with polls to skew the averages? Answer - none of them. 

 

Unfortunately I took the time to read through your post. Even more unfortunately I looked into the kid behind the video you embedded as some sort of bizarre proof of your claim. Ethan Kelly - intern for Kamala Harris rapid response team. Really solid source. Can you provide a single credible source for “Donald Trump is flooding the zone to skew polling averages”? So far it’s been nothing but…wait for it…garbage.

If it comes out to turnout, you gotta think the side that invested heavily in GOTV has the edge over the side that outsourced it to the man with the smallest face and the South African human trafficker.
