So to sum this up...

The leftists are propagating the notion that the election is in the bag, just
like they always do, except not as much as they usually do because they don't
want their voters getting too comfortable, except that it looks like more
than usual because the rightists are refusing to participate in polls.

So it looks like more than it is, which it isn't, because it always is?

What kind of nonsense is this?

Also, there's more than polling than just asking a bunch of people some
questions ad adding up the answers. For one thing, they're corrected for
ideological bias.

Jeff.
