The reason we shouldn’t trust poll numbers is because the outfits running them are often biased. The news is filled with citations from a recent poll by the Wall Street Journal, that bastion of impartiality. Turns out, they included 600 GOP primary voters in their sample, and it was run by an outfit called Fabrizio Lee. Tony Fabrizio worked with Paul Manafort in Ukraine to support the Russian-backed president there. We’re being punked. H/T Mueller, She Wrote.

There is also the issue that the votes of some people do not count in a presidential election... I doubt that the polls even take that into consideration.
