The Polls could be off and Democrats could win it all...from 538. It could go the the other way too

57. Stop.

Please stop.

You clearly don't know how pollsters operate in today's connectivity environment.

1) Pollsters don't rely only on landlines. They haven't for nearly 2 decades now.

2) Pollsters don't rely on cold calls to aggregate their representative samples.

Really.

3) Pollsters know how to use these things called voice mail and text messages to get in touch with people reluctant to answer calls from unknown numbers. Because those methods get through to even the most assertive phone screener.

4) I know this will shock you, but pollsters are willing to wait for the people they contact to return their calls. And you know what? Lots of people do return those calls. In fact, a very high number return them, compared to the old cold-call days.

So it's both a lie and just plain dumb to think that pollsters aren't able to reach all kinds of people across the political spectrum.

Because they are.

REALLY.
