Since the left love to quote polls

Who are 'they'?

((( )))

Notice how the democrat always has a huge lead until right before the election and then the polls tighten.  They do this for 2 reasons.

1) The early polls are used to sway public opinion.  Most people are influenced by the group mindset.  Read Robert Cialdini books like The Psychology of Influence or Pre-suasion.

2) They have to tighten the polls before the election to remain credible.  If they are way off no one will trust them for the next election.

The media is nothing more than the advertising wing of the Democratic party.

I have not noticed this. Besides the 2016 Presidential election, can you cite elections where democrats initially had a huge lead in the polls?

Why would pollsters want to sway public opinions. I don't need to read another book to know about the power of influence and persuasion.

Here we go again with the elusive 'they' and 'them'.

Media is a very broad term. Much more all encompassing just politics. I'll grant you that cable news media has become more political since Trump was elected.

Check the polls every two years in House and Senate races.  Democrats almost always have large leads early in races that end up close.  The main stream media is overwhelmingly in the tank for the Democrats.  After watching the last two years with Trump how is this even in doubt?  Do you really think Obama got the negative press that Bush (1 and 2), Reagan and Nixon got.

I believe there's actually a 3rd reason:

The "Oh shit, they actually believed us and thought it was in the bag" reason. 

More people do absentee, or early voting these days.  Once they start seeing it's not only way closer than they were telling viewers, but that Dems might lose; they have to scare people to get them out of the house to vote.  It gets people who might not have voted riled up to go do so, and creates a "story" for them to cover. Win-win......unfortunately, it got them a loss this time.

I don't think previous presidents got as much negative press as Trump does. I also believe Trump relishes being in the limelight and doesn't care if he gets negative or positive press as long as he gets noticed. In fact, it seems like Trump instigates this by saying, tweeting and doing things to insure he gets daily recognition. Imagine Trump in a wold were there was no media coverage at all.

Trump gets more negative press than any other president but all republican presidents get shit on.

Hmm. Seems to me Clinton and Obama were and are shoveled their share of shit. Eisenhower and Regan, both republicans enjoyed many accolades.

You can't actually have been paying attention to anything all these years.

Really - If you say so.

They got As much as Trump if Not More  :

Fairly - let alone like the other Presidents by MSM.

Exactly as I predicted the other day in the other thread where you posted the 8ths poll.

Nothing is the matter with me, but thanks for asking.

If Trump is treated unfairly, it's because he brings it on himself daily by shoving his foot in his mouth, not keeping his lies straight and posting nonsense on Twitter.

For a group that likes to call the left snowflakes at every opportunity, you guys sure come off as whiny little pussies.

I may not remember to oblige you with another "funny" in 10 years. Perhaps you will be kind enough to remind me.

Just because a few of my humorous comments go over some Getbiggers' heads doesn't mean they aren't funny. It means they are too dense (or uptight) to get the joke.

I hit a nerve, huh twat?

Despite one of the most racially tense times at least on the interweb thanks to Jussie the last couple weeks, and constant left-wing propaganda against him, and left wing proganda that worked for Obama.......Trump's still up 5 pts. over barry at this point in time.
