Made-up numbers. Value of polls is debunked in my sig.

We can't believe those polls showing Trump is narrowing the gap with Biden?

Correct. Polls are largely meaningless, even polls showing Trump "narrowing the gap"... Even polls showing Trump "pulling into the lead".

If they are meaningless how do we explain that the final poll results for presidential elections are almost always withing the margin of error?

what makes U.S. Jews politically different. Much of the answer is historical memory. Most of us, I think, know that whenever bigotry runs free, we’re likely to be among its victims.

The Trump administration is, beyond any reasonable doubt, an anti-democratic, white nationalist regime. And while it is not (yet) explicitly anti-Semitic, many of its allies are: “Jews will not replace us” chanted the “very fine people” carrying torches in Charlottesville, Va. You have to be willfully ignorant of the past not to know where all this leads. Indeed, it’s happening already: anti-Semitic incidents have soared (and my hate mail has gotten … interesting).

Jews aren’t the only people who have figured this out. Many Asian-American voters used to support Republicans, but the group is now overwhelmingly Democratic. Indian-Americans, in particular, are like American Jews: a high-income, high-education group that votes Democratic by large margins, presumably because many of its members also realize where white nationalism will take us.

In all of this, Republicans — not just Trump, but his whole party — are reaping what they sowed.

They aren't. And when they sometimes are, it could be for several reasons...

What was the reason the 2016 final poll results showed Hillary with a 2% lead which is the same as the actual results?
