Polls Schmolls


Comment:

The title of this post is a twist of the category label called Politics Schmolitics.  Generally speaking, polls are used to drive public opinion, not reflect it.  I am disgusted with politics in general, and polls in particular.

One poll that I trust is Rasmussen, but Powerline guy doesn't.  Funny thing about these polls.  The Rasmussen poll is now WORSE than the others, which is topsy turvy when compared historically.  Which poll to trust?  Do you trust the one that shows the best numbers, or the worst numbers?

That's the point.  Apples to apples comparisons with consistent use of one poll only ( Rasmussen ) shows that Trump isn't doing as well as these others.  Therefore, these polls may be deceptive in terms of the true situation.  I won't trust them until I find a better reason than the fact that bad polls seem to be good polls and vice versa.
