What was the initial intension of election polls?

So I guess they were to help candidates to understand areas where they were lacking and needed to target.

But they have been bastardized into trying to do what? Demoralize people on one side or the other to feel like they have no chance so just not vote? Why does anyone other than the gross people care about polls?

What happen to real candidates for president, there isn’t one, dummying down America, it’s sad.

I've been saying this since 2016.  Polls no longer are an accurate measure of the people.  they are used more as propaganda to support or debunk another's position or side.  That's all they are now.  Some still live for these polls.   They don't understand the methodology, the questions, or the provider.  They simply gobble up these things as if they were facts.  And they are not.

We have seen countless people on here crapping on someone else's polls because of who does them.  One side doesn't believe the other side and vice versa.   i genuinely believe, especially how biased the media etc is these days, that there are simply no honest polls out there.  Not one.

I wonder if each side has their own private polls that are accurate that tell them what they need to know.
