Is this true about polls?

So I heard a rumor that when they do those preliminary polls, that the majority of them tend to be in the NOVA area.
If that's true then maybe TMac isn't as popular when you look at the entire state.
Who knows, maybe I'm just hoping for a miracle. I voted this morning, but I'm not feeling any more confident that ken is going to win this

It's tough to beat the amount of money that Bloomberg dumped into McAwful's coffers. It's increasingly difficult when a Democrat dumps money into the Libertarian candidate in an effort to split the conservative vote.
We really need to get our heads out of our collective asses and put up a united front against the Socialists that have taken over our country.

Additionally all polls are weighted. The raw polling data is weighted in relation to what the pollsters figure is going to be the actual turn out. Most of the polls we've seen are weighted based on the last national election therefore are highly weighted against conservatives given that the liberal zombies turned out in heards for that one.
Best message being ignore the polls.
VOTE!

You'd be surprised how slanted the polls are. The polling agency designs the polling questionaires to get the response the person paying for the polls wants.
Do some research and you will find actual polling questionaires, and you can see where the polls are designed to get rid of those who disagree up front, and ask questions to make the person being polled give the answer the poller wants.

Were done. 2140 91% TM leading at 46.71%. Remaining counties all trending blue heavily. Looks like they had a lot better voter turn out than us, which drives me up the wall cause the motherlovin NRA is based HERE. :facepalm:
Wake me up when this nightmare is over.
