    moratorium on election polls

    Soooo can there be a moratorium on creating threads reflecting new election polling numbers? At least until October maybe? Everyday there's a new poll showing Trump in the lead then Clinton in the lead, 3pts, 10pts, 7pts, 9pts, 2pts, it's meaningless right now. Just curious...half serious/half not

    After several months of Donald Trump spending 80% of his time bragging about his Poll Numbers ...

    Sure, I bet we don't hear a peep from him about Polls Ever again.

    I would support that.

    Maybe they can post the polls but not comment on it?
    Not Debatable.

    Probably a good idea, tho' many peep's in here need something to agonize over so maybe just post but no responses?

    Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.

    How about poll results OP running at the top of the politics forum? make Cigar and Oboe the only two members that can post in it without comment being available to other members. it may be the least viewed thread on the board. At least by me.

    Polls are of no use to the general public except as a tool to tell stupid people how they should vote if they want to fit in with everyone else.

    I think a single poll thread would be good. That way people that want to look at them can, and the rest don't have to deal with 5 (or more) threads on different polls in the same day.
