    I hear this a lot. It’s what gets me about the polling for this election being so close - in the last eight years, who has Trump actually attracted? Who exists that is like “I voted for Hillary and Biden, but I won’t be fooled again!”

    The learning really seems to go one way.

      I lose sleep over this as well. There is a lot of evidence to suggest the polls are just wrong. Republicans have a long and consistent string of bad election losses since 2016. But still… In 2020 Biden was up in national polls and barely won. So if the same methodology is showing him down then what gives?

      I think its because a lot of people who are voting for biden are not answering polls.

      I get messages about these polls daily now and its annoying AF. But I never answer them ever. I know a bunch of people my age in my community won’t answer them either.
