Ever been polled? Who gets polled? I never have. I don't know anyone who has. Always wondered. Might be the reason polls are so seldom right. I was polled just the other day. One question asked was what is the main problem California faces at this time. My response was "The GD Democrats running this state". The last question asked was what I thought of the Covid 19 pandemic, My response was "You mean the China Flu? I think it is just a real bad case of Flu", The line then went dead and he did not call back. I was just starting to enjoy taking his poll too.

CNN and those of similar leanings lie by omission as a general rule, so no surprise there.

One of the problems accuracy in polling has is "screening" the answers. Poll takers are biased.

Not surprised that CNN would bury polls favoring Trump.....Expect more deceit from CNN until Nov 3rd.....
National polls are meaningless. A truly random poll is certainly irrelevant for our national elections, since respondents are weighted toward the big cities. And that is meaningless in our electoral college system.
