Well, Trumpers have been suckered into believing Trump is a real candidate, so it's not very surprising they would believe random polls from a blog.

So they called 1000 people in California and called 1000 people in Wyoming. Brilliant.


Yeah, and did you notice the really poor sentence structure and overall lack of literacy in the writing? Those aren't very well-educated "Graduate" students. How do you get through grad school with such a poor grasp of standard English conventions?

I do, however, notice that the 4th-grade level writing style is pretty typical for the average poorly-educated right wingers who support Trump. Odd coincidence, no?

Well that is because there is no explanation of the methodology, sampling or who even conducted the poll. Duh.

How about a little clarification? Who did the poll???

From your linked article:

"...The poll was conducted by the Arizona Freedom Alliance and according to their post..."


"...Reply by Arizona Freedom Alliance on Wednesday:

...Please make a correction to this article: Arizona Freedom Alliance DID NOT conduct the poll in question.

We did not conduct the poll. ... if there had been a substantial departure from the real numbers, we would not have posted this. We need to remember: many real people have real talents and are willing to use them for real issues.Please re-read the original article if you feel you need a link.... there is no link, it's not online.

"...My friends and I are all Graduate students from all walks of life. We meet to discuss stuff...

Yes--that is who conducted the 'poll.' A bunch of people who get together to discuss stuff.

You want a real poll? Here it is! - Arizona Freedom Alliance

Best poll EVER! - Arizona Freedom Alliance

What part of this from their website makes it credible?
We did not conduct the poll. We just know what the internals say on this topic and this is from regular smart people who wanted to find the truth and were willing to spend a lot of their time to do it. These numbers are very close to what internals are measuring. REAL numbers. if there had been a substantial departure from the real numbers, we would not have posted this. We need to remember: many real people have real talents and are willing to use them for real issues. Please re-read the original article if you feel you need a link.... there is no link, it's not online.
In other words, just like Trump, "trust me". The **********s never cease to amaze.

Here is a screen shot, in case it gets erased:

It figures that this would be buried in another thread where it will not be noticed.

The most ironic are those Trump supporters who rant against immigrants, yet seem incapable of grasping the basic grammar of their native language. If you don't know the differences between their, they're and there, your and you're, since and sense, lose and loose, among others (combined with random capitalization, excessive punctuation, run-on sentences, etc.), you really should learn not to throw stones.

You should be grateful. Whoever moved it bailed you out.

You don't seriously still believe this thing has any credibility, do you? My god... I'm stunned... you're lucky it wasn't deleted for not even being a real poll.

Well, just for drill, not that it's likely to be found or read in this mess of combined posts. Here's another: App maker: Trump will win election

And again, that's not even a poll!! Jeez, man, that's no different than the people claiming he's going to win because he's got more Facebook groups. I'm really surprised, because you seem technically savvy enough to be able to weed these things out.
