Political polls can be big news. The assumption is polling is for voters. It’s not. Polling is like odds in a horse race. The betters are political donors. It’s a horse race with trillions of $$$ return on millions of $ investment by betters.

The betters are not voters. The betters are billionaires and corporations controlled by billionaires. 

Billionaires own the corporations reporting corporate news about polling.

The payoff of the bribes given to elected officials, political committees and corporate news networks at the track is in trillions of dollars. 

“US voters remain deeply skeptical of political polling, but Trump’s approval rating so far has been ‘incredibly stable’ “Trump made an election look unusual when it was in fact quite usual, in terms of partisan voter behavior.”

It was a groundbreaking unusual election.

The Guardian article omitted Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders demonstrated that in our internet age you can bypass the billionaires race track and go directly to the people. 

Bernie Sanders didn’t depend on billionaire bettors when he nearly won the primary. 

An entirely new way of winning elections came out of Bernie Sanders near win over the incredibly well financed and powerful Clinton machine.

The Democratic machine, in fear of losing corporate money, tries to crush popular Democratic Socialists campaigning on small donor contributions. 

Those Democratic Socialists candidates and a few corporate Democrats tagging along can win back the House and Senate.
