False. If uniform convergence held, some polynomial Pn​ would satisfy supt∈R​∣Pn​(t)−sint∣<1. Such a polynomial would be bounded on R, hence constant: a nonconstant polynomial grows without bound in absolute value along a real half-line. For any constant c, however,
supt∈R​∣c−sint∣≥max{∣c−1∣,∣c+1∣}≥1,

a contradiction.
