Brutal New Poll Shows Trump Losing Big to Biden, Even With Third Party Spoiler - Lemmy.world

Vote every time. Polls mean nothing. Vote.
Yep. Polls are getting less reliable anyway, because so many of them rely on landlines, and some segments of the population are less likely to respond to surveys than others.

From the article:

Interviews were conducted in English, and included 319 live landline telephone interviews, 480 live cell phone interviews, and 111 online surveys via a cell phone text

But you are right on polls not really meaning that much. Especially over a year away.

Also, you have to take into account the weirdos who answer unknown numbers on their cell phones
That’s a valid point. Not many people do. Pollsters have a tough road ahead of them, because actually doing a scientifically valid poll is getting harder.
