Toute au contraire. Elections are definitive (unless they are rigged).
Polls are at most estimates of public opinion. One can contrast polls to each other, and one can compare topics in a poll. Thus a Republican governor in Massachusetts or Maryland can be much more popular than Donald Trump may show what a putz President Trump is and how effective the governor is. Polls can show trends, as in politicians losing credibility or incumbents gaining against challengers.
I heard little about any "Day of Rage". I am more interested in issues than in personalities unless the personality is so egregiously awful that the personality becomes an issue. Antifa is not an issue to me.
