Predictably, pundits and pollsters switch from propagandists to prognosticators and report 'tightening race' right before the election
By Thomas Lifson
You can tell that most modern MSM polls and punditry are propaganda efforts, not genuine attempts to measure attitudes and predict voting behavior, because the same thing happens every four years. Throughout any recent presidential campaign, polls report an insurmountable lead for the Democrat, discouraging donors and activists from supporting the Republican nominee and encouraging people who like backing winners to donate and vote Democrat.
Then, right before Election Day, suddenly we see reports that "the race tightens." The pollsters know that they will be judged by their results' proximity to the actual vote totals, so they go into CYA mode at the very last minute.
This year, it's been particularly egregious because the visible facts on the ground so powerfully contradict what the polls are telling us. Trump draws thousands of wildly enthusiastic supporters, even late at night or in inclement weather. Biden draws humiliatingly small crowds — double-digit numbers or at best low triple digits.
