Well, this is the polls and data thread. If the polls are "such bs," surely you can point to some actual evidence?
I don't care if you dislike Clinton (well, I only care to the extent that you should discuss that in the other thread) -- but I would have thought, after Karl Rove's humiliating 2012 meltdown, we would no longer be hearing that argument about how the polls are "skewed." Polls aren't skewed, they're just polls. They aren't a perfect tool, and don't give you a perfect picture of what is happening in the electorate. They also aren't completely worthless, and it makes no sense to just ignore them based on the fact that they come from "the MSM", if that is even a thing. (Serious question: you know that media outlets don't do the polling themselves, don't you? That they hire professionals for that?)
We heard this EXACT argument in 2012: the polls are skewed! The "MSM" wants Obama to win! They sample too many democrats!
And in the end? The polls weren't "skewed"--in fact, as a group; they were pretty well bang on, and now Karl Rove will always be remembered for his ludicrous rants about Ohio on election night, which proved to be so laughably wrong that his reputation is forever tarnished.
