The liberals will believe any poll that is in their favor and call bad any that is not in their favor. LMAO!
Not sure if you've noticed, but that fence swings both ways.
Take Trump himself for example. He basically ran his whole campaign on how he was killing the polls, but, now that they are not in his favour...........
Thing is they aren't wrong .As I have asked over and over again if you a trump supporter will not accept any of the media you posted ,who will you accept?
Of course they are wrong. None of their Polls have been right from day one. Go back and look. They even got it wrong the last Night of the election. All wrong and Fake.
Bingo. I talk to four people and three say they like Trump as a pollster I can say 75% of all polled like Trump and that is how it works,ask Kellyanne .
Or you can make up Polls that say Hillary is winning, Hillary won this Debate and that Debate, and the Majority say Hillary will win this State and that State, according to Polls, and then she flops. All Fake Polls. Ask Hillary. She is Proof. They even had her believing the Faked Polls.
The best way to get an accurate result is to watch CNN and take the numbers from their poll and reverse them
Bye the way, no one I know has ever been called by Media for a Poll about Trump.
I posted this tonight in a similar thread, but here goes again.
Polls predicting the outcome of an election rely upon the identification of 'likely voters', and that is an inexact science, they use prior poll results to try to apply a reasonable margin of error, but any political poll is still vulnerable to people who appear to be a "likely voter" not actually voting, or conversely someone who states they are almost sure they won't vote actually turning out to vote. It is an inexact science and is a "guess" at best. Before the Presidential election 538's Nate Silver said that Trump had a 20% chance of winning which meant that according to all the data they had analyzed if you flipped a coin with 5 times, Hillary would win four times and Trump would win once. That is how polls work, they determine the odds of an event, just like when you play a slot machine. No poll that I am aware of said "Hillary is definitely going to win"
Public Opinion polls are significantly different, you simply ask a large cross section of people a simple question, i.e "should people who live in apartments be allowed to have dogs", you then tally the results and report it, so if 6 out of 10 people think people shouldn't have dogs the result would be announced as "forty percent of the population think that apartment dwellers should be able to have dogs". If other pollsters conduct the same poll with similar results you can have confidence in what the public thinks about dogs in apartments.
Thing is they aren't wrong .As I have asked over and over again if you a trump supporter will not accept any of the media you posted ,who will you accept?
Were they right or wrong the week before the election when many of the same pollsters had Hillary winning in their final polls by 6-10 points?
