That's because the polls are oversampling rural voters and landlines. When was the last time they asked you? Do you know anyone who has been polled?
Not only that, even if they did call most people have something better to do than spend 15 minutes answering random questions. Trump voters are much more likely to want to shout "Trump" into a phone. Biden voters just wait for the election.
Don't you remember 2020? Trump had a million rallies and Biden had zero. Only the election matters.
That's... not how modern polling works. I assure you, no one is oversampling landlines.
This is just the dream you feed yourself. The polls must be wrong because I don't like what they portent. I believe it was coined "fake news" by your former and future president. You dismiss statistical polling because "Trump voter dumb, yell at phone, not now! Even if did, land lines! Even if accounted rural! The numbers are wrong because I downvoted them!" This is a losing game.
That somehow, despite all polling and conventional wisdom to the contrary, you're going to get... 82 year old Joe Biden.
Like, all the wishful thinking and sideways approaches to shoot the moon you want to take, and you're putting all that dreamy thinking on the line and defying reality to get... Joe Biden?
I feel for you bro, and that all sucks. I'm not saying it doesn't, I'm just trying not to be blind to the sentiment of country. Good luck.
