    Pollsters have continuously & spectacularly failed over the past 8 years to account for the overturn of Roe vs. Wade At this point it’s either on purpose or they are incredibly incompetent.

      I always compare polls to the photo finish of horse races, which we had two of this last weekend. At best, polls are only an indicator of opinions in a brief moment in time. At worst, the sample size is incorrectly constructed or the question is in a way to skew results.
