There Are Over a Dozen New Polls Out – Here’s Why You Should Ignore Every One of Them
Here’s Why You Should Literally Ignore Them All Today
Â
There are literally over a dozen new polls that have been released since Saturday. Nationwide polls, state polls, 2-way race polls, 4-way race polls, online polls, telephone polls, tracking polls, you name it. With 42 days to go until the election, here’s why you should ignore them all.Â
Ignore the Bloomberg polls that show Clinton and Trump tied. Ignore the Quinnipiac poll that shows Clinton up one. Ignore the LA Times/USC Tracking poll that shows Trump up 4.
Here’s why.
First, tonight’s debate is expected to be watched by more people than ever in the history of presidential debates. Some estimate over 100 million people will tune in. That’s almost one out of every three people in America. The debate could literally change the course of the direction of the race, making all the polls irrelevant.
Watch tonight’s debate, if only so you can defend your candidate tomorrow morning.
Second, as NCRM and many others say, individual polls don’t matter, polling averages do.
Right now, the Real Clear Politics polling average puts Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump by 2.1 points.Â
Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight Polls-plus average gives Clinton a 57.8% chance of winning, over Trump’s 42.2% chance.
So when it comes down to it, the only thing that will matter is you voting.Â
Register to vote. Then vote.
The future literally depends on it.
