Pollster Frank Luntz: If Trump defies polls again 'my profession is done'









Quite similar to the disparity today.
             







I’m still counting on the silent majority. Also, the polls are skewed in Biden’s favor, just like Hillary, because of their deep hatred of Trump. If the MSM genuinely believed Trump was ahead in the polls do you think they would admit it? Look at all the bad press Trump gets every day. Yet they completely ignored Hunter Biden's laptop, a MAJOR story, disastrous information naming Joe as 'the big guy' and incriminating emails exposing Joe's lies. Now imagine the shoe on the other foot and that was Don Jr's laptop?


As I stated before it is preposterous the Durham Report won’t be released until after the election, and now God forbid Joe’s elected, Hunter Biden’s laptop is no more.

Biden leads in polls, though some are skeptical of a Biden win given the 2016 presidential upset


Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum give you a sneak peek of tonight's final presidential debate, what to expect from each candidate, and more from around the nation.

Republican pollster Frank Luntz told Fox News’ Bret Baier on Thursday night, that his "profession is done" if President Trump wins re-election come Nov. 3, and proves the national polls wrong yet again.

“I hate to acknowledge it, because that's my industry — at least partially — but the public will have no faith. No confidence. Right now, the biggest issue is the trust deficit,” Luntz said in response to Baier asking how pollsters will fare if they are wrong in predicting the 2020 presidential election. “Pollsters did not do a good job in 2016. So, if Donald Trump surprises people, if Joe Biden had a 5- or 6-point lead, my profession is done."

National polls largely show Biden with a lead over Trump with two weeks until the presidential election.

Real Clear Politics, which pools together several national polls and takes the average, shows Biden up by 7.9 points, though in battleground states the former vice president is only up by 3.8 points – well within margin of error, which generally hovers around plus or minus four points.

Hillary Clinton was projected to win in 2016, with polling consistently similar to Biden’s.

FiveThirtyEight’s election project gave Clinton an 86 percent chance of winning during this point in the last presidential race. Biden is currently projected to win with an 88 percent probability.

Some polls appear to show a tighter race in their polling this time around. But Luntz, a GOP pollster, still thinks that Biden will win the presidency after claiming that Trump won the second and final presidential debate Thursday.

“You've got to give Trump a minor victory because he’ll bring some [undecided] voters home, and it’ll close the race a little bit," Luntz told CNBC’s “Squawk Box" Friday. "But in the end, I think Joe Biden won the war.”

Clinton also faced obstacles that Biden is not necessarily struggling with.

Clinton was running in the post-Obama administration era and reports after the 2016 upset showed that voters were intrigued by Trump’s unusual, non-political behavior and ready for a shift in Washington.

The other major factor that will come into play during the 2020 election is the number of voters who were disillusioned with the 2016 presidential race and opted not to vote at all.

Although more people are expected to vote early during the 2020 presidential election, opposed to waiting until Election Day to vote in-person, more than 38 percent of the number of votes cast in 2016 have already been recorded with two weeks remaining until the General Election, according to the U.S. Election Project

Democrats so far have cast their vote at a rate nearly double that of Republicans, though as early polling stations are opening the ratio will likely start to even out.
