We were told and have been told that the election has basically been decided for months and that there really aren’t any undecideds. How are we seeing variation in the polls if that’s the case?

Only a complete dumbass would start a thread like this.

Polls are fluid and dynamic. It is a snapshot in time of those polled. Each one is unique.

Not sure what you're talking about, but polls in this race have been incredibly steady for months. Compare RCP averages from 2016 to 2020 race.

He is probably talking about Trump is starting to show some positive movement in some recent polling in certain areas. And it is probably accurate as it appears the GOP is making a decent push in some localities and some Dems are getting complacent.

Which polls? That was my question. Again, look at the averages.
I saw an article this morning from a legitimate site and scanned through it but don't remember which webpage I was on. I don't dispute any of your comments and perspective on this subject and find it cute that a Trumper wants to talk polls when there is some news of positive action. They are so predictable but I'm just relating in an honest fashion of some information.

I actually wasn’t referencing any positive movement for Trump, the opposite actually.

14 % in favor of Clinton didn't demoralize Trump/Pence supporters in 2016 so they are going to try a higher number this year. People just need to ignore them and go vote. Take a friend.

There is one poll out there that has predicted every presidential election winner but 1 for decades. They got it right in 2016. They said Trump will win again in 2020. Media tards aren’t referencing them or their predictions. You’re gonna cry in a few weeks.

Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump among likely voters in Pennsylvania and Florida
......
And another for your viewing pleasure
NEW YORK (Reuters) - “With hours to go before Americans vote, Democrat Hillary Clinton has about a 90 percent chance of defeating Republican Donald Trump in the race for the White House, according to the final Reuters/Ipsos States of the Nation project”.

..... Notice the dates and times, literally HOURS before the ELECTION. But, they ”fixed it”, .... and THIS time they got it right.
........... they wouldn’t fall for it twice in 4 years would they?

Another thing to consider is that a lot of people are voting early this year, whether by mail or in person. This isn't just about the snapshot on the Tuesday following the first Monday in November.
