Trump's Take on the Polls.

In an interview with Newsmax Trump made his view clear that "They're rigged. They're rigged polls."

He went on to explain that polling can suppress turnout by showing a candidate either so far behind that supporters believe voting is pointless or so far ahead that they believe victory is assured.

He's certainly right about that. I've made the point on a number of occasions in the past and all over the internet people are warning Dem supporters not to get complacent.

"So they're doing it to discourage people from voting. They're doing it deliberately," Trump said.

The problem is there are an awful lot of polls and they're pretty much showing the same thing. Still, the ghost of 2016 still haunts the political arena and there are some polls that disagree.

I stand by my three concerns.

(1) I don't think historical trends matter in this new political environment.

(2) Disliking Trump and not voting Republican are two different things.

(3) The Democrats strike me as brain dead. They're campaigning on two basic points. The first is "Trump Big Bad" and the second is "We're going to give people free stuff." I just don't think that's enough.

Obviously, this could just be my distrust of polls and my natural pessimism talking. I'm especially leery about the Senate races. I suspect that the Dems will take the House, but the Senate, I'm not so sure.

I suppose we shall see.
