'sup, Donny?

from your site:

"Yes, the polls were wrong. But some forecasters, who typically rely on polls and often combine them with other data to give odds on who will win, were less wrong than others. It doesn’t take fancy math to determine that Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight forecasts, although they gave Hillary Clinton better odds than they did Trump, were the least wrong. Not only did he give Trump more than a 1-in-4 chance to win the election, but he also repeatedly defended his forecasts’ bullishness on Trump, for reasons that later proved prescient. Other high-profile forecasts gave Trump small-to-vanishing odds."

Buy, hey, keep on believing in them.

Trump has no path to 270, but he got 306. Dewey wins! Trump / Truman. The God of the Bible.

Update: You're still blabbering about tRump vs Hill 2016.

This thread is about the final 2017 polls.

It's now 2018.

Happy New Year!

Except for polls typically favorable to Trump like Rasmussen.

When people get a pay raise in February as the new witholding rates kick in Trump may see an uptick, but there are an awful lot of moving parts these days.
The only moving parts these days are democrat large intestines moving multiple times per day at their prospects for 2018.

Can't take it I see.

Polls are polls and they haven 't changed WHO they poll.
