Last week on MSNBC’s HardBall, the ever-devious Chris Matthews though had a moment of clarity in his prediction that the Democrat nominee for president will have a big lead over Trump in almost all the polling until the last week or so before the election when the margin will close, followed by president Trump’s reelection victory. Matthews didn’t say why the polls would tighten-up in the last week, but we all know why the polls will (and were in 2016) were that way, not because Trump suddenly gained (will gain) more popularity at the last minute, rather that the polling for the year leading up was push polling, oversampling Democrats to show Trump far behind. Of course that push polling affected turnout on both sides (lower than usual), so tell those who will be saying Trump is far behind and plan on early voting to remember 2016, when Trump was supposedly far behind until the end of the campaign.
