"As if polling isn’t bad enough, there is a specific cohort that has been gaming pollsters for years. A recent poll showed that 17% of respondents believe Joe Biden was responsible for overturning Roe v. Wade(!). I have to call bullshit on this. I don’t care how dumb you think the public is, but you simply cannot believe nearly 1 in 5 are that utterly clueless. These are partisans trolling pollsters for shits & giggles, full stop."

"A couple of years ago, I asked if it made any sense that that current sentiment readings are worse than:

1980-82 Double Dip Recession
1987 Crash
1990 Recession
9/11 Terrorist Attacks
2000-2003 Dotcom implosion
2007-09 Great Financial Crisis
2020 Pandemic Panic
Sorry, but this is also more nonsensical bullshit."

Lots of good stuff in the link, imo.
I agree with Barry, I haven't paid attention to polling at all.
In the leadup to November, I won't pay any attention to polls, and will be 100% certain to vote.
Most everybody I talk to, in my social sphere, is 100% certainly going to vote, so don't feel a need for any reminders.
