I got really tired of people posting poll numbers, which were proven having zero credibility.

After the 98.4% of Hillary winning the election poll numbers, do you still believe the polls?

I watched the "methodology" change from the beginning of the campaign season to the end. I watched them play with numbers, add irrelevant questions and try to interpret "meanings" rather than just ask a straight out question and as a final blow, they started increasing the major of error to the point that they could say that Hillary had a lead of 5 points and in small print at the bottom with a +/- 4.5%. Even for people who said they were Democrats voting for Trump, they were playing with the numbers if that person had voted for Obama, they considered that relevant. They were stupid.

I had a college course in "Statistics and Probability", so I enjoyed watching the deception and trying to see where the holes were. I also learned that the most likely outcome of a poll is that outcome desired by the one doing/paying for the poll.

Logic told us that the polls were false, well, those of us that are capable of logical thinking. Doesn't take a "higher education" to be capable of logical thinking.

Depends on who is conducting the poll.

Many of the state polls wound up to be quite terrible, the national polls, however were actually fairly close.

The idea that only 8% of Hillary's press was negative is absolutely ridiculous. With Comey and Wikileaks making her life miserable? Be serious.

Strangely enough, the national polls were right, Hillary did win in fact win the popular vote. It's at the state level where the polling errors occurred, particularly in the Rust Belt.

"the national polls were right, Hillary did win in fact win the popular vote."

Ah how many libs like to distort the truth.

""the national polls were right"

NO they were WRONG.

I tehy said she was going to WIN THE ELECTION and she did NOT.

I don't recall any polls about winning the popular vote.

Did you?

If so please post them.

All we heard was ow Hillarywas going to wi bya landslide and thet Trump didn't hav chance in hell of getting the 270 votes needed and NOT 1 woord about the popular vote.

Yes old' Hillary did "win" the popular vote BUT, that is NOT the issue, is it?

She did NOT win the election, did she?

Or, are you still waiting for her inauguration?
