Are The U.S. Polls Accurate? (Update)

CNBC: Many Americans are weary of polling data, but here’s what can be trusted from the latest numbers

* Many Americans don’t believe polls are accurate, pointing to the misrepresentation of polling results from the 2016 presidential election. 
 * Experts contend the process of polling has become more precise and conclusive. 
 * For the 2020 election cycle, President Trump has spent over $7 million and Joe Biden has spent about $1.5 million on polling. 

With the 2020 presidential election just a week away, people are being bombarded with polls every day. 

A Real Clear Politics average of polls from Oct. 12-25 has Joe Biden with 7.9% lead over President Donald Trump. Eight days out from the election in 2016, the average of polls showed Hillary Clinton with a 2.9% lead. 

That was pretty close to her popular vote win, but as pollster Patrick Murray said: “Polls don’t poll the Electoral College, we poll populations. What happened was the polls were basically accurate at the national level, but there were some state polls that consistently showed Hillary Clinton with a lead that she didn’t end up having it in the end.” 

That inaccuracy led a majority of registered voters agree in a 2018 poll by The Hill/HarrisX that they didn’t trust the accuracy of polls.

WNU Editor: If the polls are accurate, and Democrat Presidential candidate does win in a landslide as projected, that will tell me the following. In this year's election, even though the crowds at Joe Biden's rallies and events were small, the silent US voter was not a Trump supporter, but a Biden supporter.
