No

They are a reflection of what a group of people feel  about  a particular moment about a person or an issue

Any presidential polls right now are a reflection of how that group of people feel about a candidate at this particular moment in time

You can’t just dismiss polls that you don’t like

YOU don't know what you are talking about @LMAO ! I don't dismiss just the ones I don't like, I dismiss ALL of them if they are for public consumption. They are to influence opinions, not measure them.

Everyone can see that Joe is evil and his policies are disastrous. 
Everyone said Biden is Obama's third term, as a sarcastic sort of dismissive joke. NO!
Obama is the President now, right now, Obama is running everything. Why the destruction of America?
Why is everything so 'insane'? Obama vowed to "fundamentally change" America.

It is not Biden. Biden gets lost in his own bathroom. Biden has no idea where he is or what is going on.
This is all Obama, continuing his hate for America even now.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

How the hell is a poll  that asks “ if the election was held today, who would you vote for?” supposed to influence public opinion?

It’s simply asking a question. It’s not influencing public opinion in anyway with just a basic question.

If I were to do a poll that  asked people “which fast food joint do they prefer, McDonald’s or Burger King”, I’m not trying to influence public opinion, but to gauge it

Polls and surveys are done all the time to gauge how people feel about a certain issue, or a certain candidate . Saying that all polls are done to try to influence public opinion doesn’t make sense

Easy! You ask the question in the right places at the right time of day and then flood the media with the result..

I forget whatever business class I was taking at the time, but they were talking about polls.  It was amazing how they could be influenced by the question asked.  Basically you start with the answer you want, then you develop the question.  Pretty sick...

Polling is big business and believe me, the people who do it for a living KNOW what they are doing.

Joe Biden’s approval rating is in the toilet. I am assuming you accept that. How do you think they came to that conclusion and how are they trying to influence public opinion with that?

Based on your argument, the media is trying to convince people that Joe Biden approval rating is in the 30s cause they’re trying to influence more people to vote against Biden and for Trump

You see how ridiculous your argument sounds

As the election grows closer, The Party will take steps to "sculpt" the polls to prepare the public for the results of the underground (and above-ground) election apparatus.

Thus, making The Party's "control" of the election outcome an easier pill to swallow...

We were told that Joe Biden's numbers were in the toilet until yesterday when they magically took a big rebound.  You can continue with your delusion. I don't care.

How did you know that Biden’s numbers were in the toilet? Polls. You accepted those polls.

But now that they’ve rebounded, somewhat, you don’t accept the polls

Trump can beat Biden.

Biden is wrong on immigration.
Biden is wrong on energy policy.
Biden is wrong on foreign policy.
Biden is wrong on domestic policy.
Biden is wrong on fiscal policy.
Biden is wrong on tax policy.

Ronna needs to get off of her butt and start working on election and ballot integrity.

Ronna was not hired to work on election and ballot integrity.  She was hired because she flatters Trump.  Which is why the GOP will be plagued again with the same ballot issues that defeated them in 2020 and 2022.

Biden has been wrong on each of those things for decades.  No one is surprised by his actions.  No one had any other expectations.

And Donald Trump hasn't lifted a finger to change any of it.  He still thinks that elections are won by holding big rallies and trashing other Republicans.

And by appealing to left-wing groups

The UAW came out and endorsed Biden. Did Trump really believe that they would endorse him? Have they ever endorsed a Republican?

I’d like “Republicans” to stop saying Trump is even the equal of Reagan, much less superior.  Yikes.
