Polls are a media tool to influence behavior. They are used to create drama to make you think that they matter when they really don't. Media has to create drama in one way or another anyway...
I'm not new to this idea, I just thought that maybe the polling tools would have been a little more sophisticated than that.
I don't think polls take electoral votes into consideration at all. Why would they?
yeah they don't...not necessary

Correct. National polls are weighted for political affiliation and other demographics, but not state. However, a tightening of polls nationally will likely lead to the same effect in the states. Clinton cannot run out the clock or rely on the debates. She needs to get back out on the trail and on the news. Trumps handlers have stemmed the bleeding.

While sitting in the waiting room waiting for a CT scan today I watched a bit of CNN News on their TV. The story was about how Trump and Hillary were in a "virtual tie". Did I shit my pants seeing that? No, I just rolled my eyes. The whole thing played out on TV like some bad, dumb virtual reality TV show. Welcome to the new America- a poorly scripted dumb virtual reality TV show.

I hope you and others realize that life itself brings its own (sometimes and seemingly never-ending) sets of drama, and are not actively searching it out from other sources, or cream ourselves over it.
Apologists and drama and blindness. Great. Got it!
Well, after eight years of no drama Obama, the American electorate is ready for some kardashian/Jenner high jinks in the White House. It's what keeps everyone engaged on the important stuff.

Except that trump is NOT leading, contrary to what today's CNN poll suggests. 538 gives him 31% chance of winning, and they are always right. He can't win electoral college, which means he won't be president.
He is going to start trump tv if he loses. That was confirmed today.

"No drama Obama". You know, I actually like that H2M.

I believe it, gimme. Another reason why I didn't take the "report" seriously. It viewed like on of those Hollywood Stars shows. Dumb!
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
Not at all. The excusing, deflecting and defending of Hillary in these boards is unbelievable. Keep attacking me for bringing up the obvious.
What is also unbelievable is the blind hatred for Hillary. We get it...she's a powerful woman and that intimidates you.
I'm with Bernie Sanders. I'll be voting for Clinton proudly.
o.k......but Bernie got paid...
Godfather.
And what exactly do you base this off of? The only thing I understand that Sanders got out of endorsing Clinton, is some of his priorities added to the party platform. I'd hardly call this payment too, because if the agenda of the DNC closer resembles that of Sanders', then there's no conflict of interest in his endorsement. Plus, as countless have said, this is about who is the better (i.e. less bad) candidate. We should push for accountability from Clinton, there's no question of that in my mind. She's in a dangerous position of being elected and not questioned, as it stands. That being said, she is not Satan reincarnate.
well it don't matter, it was just an assumption on my part but I have to wonder how many people have a 275 day pollen attack and still can't keep from coughing ? she does not look healthy to me but I'm no doctor and I don't wish any illness on her or anyone, just sayin she don't look or sound good.
Godfather.
She looks and sounds just as good as Trump, so I don't understand what your problem is.
I don't have a problem, just making a guess based on video and photographs of her and I've stated a few times that I don't wish bad health on her or anybody for that matter.
I love it when all the sudden the poll's don't matter LOL !
Godfather.
Keep you're eye on the ball GF on the ball , Electoral votes is what matters the most and she's still ahead but he still has a good chance at being your savior since you do believe this country is in ruin ...

So....Trump gives an ILLEGAL $25,000 to Bondi's campaign THEN he holds a fundraiser at his estate at NO CHARGE to Bondi's campaign....yet he charges his own campaign for use of the estate.
Oh, and as attorney general of Florida Bondi decided not to pursue fraud charges against the FL victims of Trump U.

Polls mean absolutely nothing unless you appreciate drama.
...And you actually WANT the media to tell you who to vote for and to not vote on your own without them. Oh the drama of making an informed decision w/out the media and their ridiculous polls involved!!
