When the polls don't go their way, it's the polls are skewed, biased, and the only poll that matters is election day. When that doesn't go in their favor, it's the election was rigged ****ing psychos

ALL polls are rigged in some way, if you can't see this you just don't want to. Especially internet polls, they are the most unreliable out there.

Oh please, you don't need data, you just need your head. The internet is wait for it....ANONYMOUS! Nobody knows who is participating in those polls, not a shred of anything can be verified, nothing. If the poll is meant for Dems only, ANYONE can take it no matter what side you are on and vice versa. If it is for a certain age group you can just lie, everything can be faked on the internet, EVERYTHING, even your IP.

I can't wait for November 9th when Clinton has won handily and all the "skewed polls" posters have either disappeared or have changed their tune (more likely) to the claim that the election was rigged. There is no reasoning with these people. They're too far gone. I suspect that, for 2020, they're going to try to put someone even more extreme up for nomination.

November 1-4: Tie
RealClearPolitics - Election 2012 - General Election: Romney vs. Obama

President Obama defeated Governor Romney by 4%.

PS - Pollsters always sample far more respondents than they use, then they sort the data so that age/race/gender of a subset of all the respondents match the expected electorate. That's how polling works. God, I swear, the Trump crowd is so utterly ignorant about... well, damn near everything...

Did any of you ever attend college? Maybe take a stats course? Or maybe just use basic common sense?

No?

Hello?

Bueller?
That doesn't mean they do a good job of matching to the electorate, or if whether or not they are picking likely voters. I would never vote Hillary, and I know I have 3 college degrees and several stats classes under my belt....sounds to me you are like the academics I left behind many yrs ago...

I did realize there was something going on with Monmouth, it was just too obvious, well, except for the delusional. It was too far out of line with all the other polls. I would not be surprised that those that support Hillary wouldn't recognize deceit when it was there right in front of their eyes.
Listening to what people are saying is what polls do.
