Andrea Widburg:
“…Rasmussen has highlighted the fact that the left has weaponized polling. It frames questions and weights its polls to energize Democrats and demoralize Republicans. People like a winner, and the left-leaning polling companies know that if a candidate appears to be winning, he will automatically attract more voters.
Like the dog that didn’t bark in the night, the pollsters who are remaining quiet are giving us a clue: their numbers are probably showing that, no matter how they ask their questions or weight their polls, Trump is surging and Biden submerging.
Moreover, if the momentum now shifts to Trump, that creates an even worse situation than would have happened in past elections. Most serious political watchers suspect that, if asked, Trump-supporters are keeping quiet. They are afraid of insults and threats to their jobs, to their peaceful lives, and to their and their families’ safety. However, if voters sense that the tide is turning, more will speak up. After all, we all know the Spartacus promise that, if one or two or three show moral courage, others will follow…Courage is contagious, and that thought, more than any other, seems to have pollsters in a panic…”
