(#5391) Polling

     It seems like every election cycle early on well before the actual election the polling comes out favoring republicans. Well that is not a surprise anymore to me because the wealthy want the republicans to win so they support polling entities that lean in their favor. They can afford to make their chosen political party look good when they pour enough money into it. That is what they do, spend money on candidates, on lawmaking, and other areas like polling. The republican party would be a non factor in elections if the wealthy were not bankrolling them with dubious commercials on all the information platforms.
     In a capitalistic world where political advertising dollars are always being spent the majority of it this early on is being spent by republicans. They know they are fighting uphill against the truth of things so going all in on bending the facts to fit their narrative is a specialty with them. So as the polling comes out and shows support for people like trump who is mired in so many legal entanglements it defies logic that he would be leading in any poll let alone a few. Just let me remind you that the methodology of the pollsters is not the same. Too many pollsters who are paid by the wealthy to conduct polling have to use parameters that sway toward republican talking points regardless if those talking points are valid.
     Here is what I do. I don't pay attention to any polling this early on. What I am looking for are the results tomorrow of the Virginia and New Jersey state elections. Those two bellwether states will give me far more information about the psyche of the electorate than any contrived polling with subjective intent. As we get closer to our national election in 1 year the primaries and the voters who vote in them will be my polling and that is the best gauge I can rely on. Closer to the election some cumulative polling by historically reputable pollsters will become available and I will monitor that in real time then. But for now do not be distracted by the wealthy trying to demoralize our inevitable blue wave election.
