How Much Can We Trust Election Polls?

You can't escape polls these days, but with so many polls showing different results and a history of polls being inaccurate, it's natural to question their reliability. In 2016, every major poll predicted Hillary Clinton would win the race, but she didn't.

Now, Trump is performing well in many national polls, but Biden seems to be closing the gap. Should Republicans be worried about 2024? Political Consultant Bill Miller doesn't think so. He told KTRH, "Polling is a funny business. People use it for their own purposes. It's a devolving situation depending on what audience you're talking to and what the subject is."

Miller suggests not putting too much stock in polls until after Labor Day because, "That's when you're in the home stretch. You aren't that far away from the November election."
