What good are all these surveys done by the media in Iowa

Iowa is a Caucus. Less than 6% of the people surveyed will vote and they will mostly be activists or people that run the DNC and government workers. 9 months later they can stop by on the way home from work or vote by absentee ballot.

It is a sampling. I like seeing it.

Sometimes the questions are leading and those you can throw out. But there are a lot of solid polls that have information thats interesting or useful.

But I do see them sometimes and think yeah I don't believe that at all. Immigration polling is a good example. They main stream outlets keep pushing dem narratives that are not what the people are saying. So they load questions to get what they want.

BTW here is a good question for polling: Hey Chicago specifically and the nation. Should Chicago let felons go without contacting ICE or working with ICE? Especially as crime and murders climb in the city. #dumb Yet the brain washed dem city voters keep electing these idiots.

I asked that question once myself. It seems that Iowa is kind of the headquarters for the Democrat party.

Not surprising. Even at 3 in the morning driving through that state, you can smell the bull$#@!.

I did my own polling in 2016. I asked many people whom I have no idea what they think politically would win? I would say at least 6 out of 10 said they would vote for Trump. Some holding their nose because they didn't like Hillary. Not many polls reflected that result. But it was real. I wasn't sure how to reconcile it either.

The only survey/poll that truly has any meaning and counts is the one conducted on election day. All others are superfluous.

I try to avoid looking at polls as they are no longer intended to reflect the public's view. They are now intended to influence the public's view.

The General Election for the Presidency would reflect a survey more accurately because over 1/2 the population voted. Not 6%.
