The Democrats need to do as Republicans and get some hack pollsters whose job it is to pump out fake feel good polls [View all]
Republicans have Insider Advantage, Trafalgar, Rasmussen and a few more. Their task to mass produce happy feel-good polls that make Republicans look more popular than they really are.
The Democrats should prop up some bought and paid for pollsters that do exactly the same thing for Team Blue.
Why should the Democrats do this too? Because like it or not, these fakey polls drive the media coverage and narrative of campaigns and governing. They have an impact upon social media sites and podcasts, and even fundraising. In politics, momentum matters.
