Why do you all keep posting POINTLESS POLLS?

[Ringel05]

When polsters start applying the proper metrics to their polls then and only then can we have an honest discussion about them.

For instance Biden has a double digit lead right now according to the polls. But then you have "weighted" polls in an attempt to make them reflect reality. But do they apply electoral numbers based on regional results? Do they poll on a percentage per region? Do they do ANYTHING to actually recreate an actual election result?

Nope, no pointy polls here either.

It makes people feel good and as we know it’s all about feelings. It’s easy to manipulate any poll to get the result you want and no matter what they show they are all just snapshots of the moment based on the views of a very small number of people.

It's easy to interpret the numbers of a poll anyway you want.
Poll numbers are still the same, unless you are purposefully manipulating them (lying).
It's people like Blackhawk that give professional pollsters a bad wrap. Poor little fellas.
