    Your opinions lean pretty heavily on the findings of pollsters. 2016 taught us all not to listen to pollsters. Only the actual elections paint an accurate picture of US politics, and, well, there are still plenty of Republicans in office.

    As for left sentiment being at its highest point since 2008, don’t expect that to last. The economy is in the tank now, and people tend to vote hard right when they’re hurting for money. They are of course exceedingly unwise to expect Republicans to solve their financial problems, but that’s American voters for you.

      LOL, no they don’t? Your rehashed conclusion is:

      • “after 2016 all polls are wrong because Hillary lost” K…
      • “only elections show the outcome of elections” how is that relevant at all to the main point of opinion manipulation by the media?
      • The 2008 part you reference incorrectly because you didn’t understand the context and clearly couldn’t trouble yourself with looking at any of the supporting material I provided.
      • Funnily you re-support the conclusion I came to and say that American voters can be easily swayed, despite what might be in their best interests. <—Proving my point

      Overall, you’ve wasted both our time and shown that you don’t really want to discuss anything in good faith.

      Sweet. That’s a wrap for me.
