Hey, you know, you see these polls on TV or in the newspaper.

These are the public polls.

These are the ones done by a media or some college.

These are cheap, cheap, cheap little flimsy polls.

They're not very good.

Candidates use what they call the internal polls.

These are deadly accurate, big scientific polls. They cost millions of dollars. Well, there are people that do that. The best of those guys is John McLaughlin, the best pollster in the world, and he's on the line with us right now. You can go to his website, too, McLaughlin Online.com. John McLaughlin, how you doing? I'm doing well. You know, it's a few,

there's an election coming up. There's a few days. And by the way, the only reason I'm a good

pollster is because I listened to you in 2015 when you said in the summer of 2015 at

Larry Cudlow's house, we were there and you said Donald Trump to be president. I said, I think so too. So you were right. Well, also there was some number that was scary. He was down in the favorability or something. He was way down. And I said something to you and you said, that can change in an hour. That doesn't mean anything. Yeah. And, well, now people know them and really

doesn't change as much. Yeah. And so it's like, so, you know, like you go on our website, I mean,

we did a poll last week for Newt Gingrich and Trump's up too. And the day before the debate with

Joe Biden that Trump clearly won on the issues and

etc. He was up too.

A week after, the first week of August, after they picked Kamala Harris.

We had up to.

His debate this week, it was not good.

It was a bad debate for him, He's not himself. But it looks

like in all these focus groups, he still came out ahead with independence. How much can we

trust these focus groups? Well, what's interesting is there were two polls that were done right after.
