All I know is that the polls are useless. And even trying to calculate how many people we think "like" him is useless.
None of it really means anything at all.
These kinds of polls are all about the "horse race" aspect of politics. And back in the "old days" when people had no access to information and got everything from their newspaper and the three networks of the time...the polls probably INFLUENCED people on who they should vote for.
I think the 2016 election pretty much showed that any polling is now obsolete. People not only make up their own minds, but the majority of folks keep who they are going to vote for a private thing.
The only people who would even stay on the phone from a cold call pollster would be someone with either an extreme "right" or "left" agenda.
Normal people would hang up immediately.
Nobody likes cold calls...especially when you are either working OR spending time at home relaxing with your family.
