I wouldn't call it lying. Intentional misleading.
Q: Who do you plan to vote for?
A: The exact opposite of the guy I'm actually planning to vote for.

That's not a lie, how?

If you can't find the humor in what I did, I'm sorry.

I take delight in the fact that todays polls are skewed to the left intentionally so I just thought Id contribute to the charade

if they are stupid enough to mislead todays voters then they deserve what they get

It just seems like a self-fulfilling prophecy...

We can't trust polls.
Why not?
Because people can lie in their responses!
That's true. What do you think we should do about it?
I'm gonna lie if a pollster ever calls me just to F with them!

It's not "funny." It's just being a jerk. If you don't want to give honest answers, hang up the phone.

The polls are gamed anyway. They are a lie. This was proven 4 years ago. Nothing really matters.

The polls were pretty solid in basically every election in history before that. And the pollsters, after that happened, basically said "what the heck did we miss and how can we get better next time?" Their response afterwards was to try to improve their methods to avoid being wrong in the future. 

Yet you call polls a lie, because they got the answer wrong, but you deliberately giving a pollster an answer you KNOW to be untrue isn't a lie.

I mean, the nationwide poll was pretty accurate. The states got some things wrong, but not in a crazy way - they changed quite a bit over time. Polls are just a snapshot of what people think and pollsters already know some people will lie to them.

Why do we need polls?

Answer:

We don't.

Why?

Many people in Wisconsin who did not vote, because they thought HRC had it in the bag. It happens a ton.

I'd also rather the networks wouldn't report voting on election night. Lots of people on the West Coast don't even bother. Hawaii? Why bother.

4 years ago, the "exit" polls had Hillary winning big until about 10pm

I believe political polls as much as I believe Fox News or CNN

don't trust them a tall

they usually have an agenda

I am all astonishment.
Michigan has got to be #1 for the worst roads. Any list that doesn't have them #1 is invalid.

when pollsters purposely over sample on one side so the results show what they want it to then it is no longer a poll but instead a tool to mislead the public
