Any poll you see is BS, they know it. We all know it.

Because they understand Statistics?

Scientific American explains it here, using very small words.

Hard for me to believe they reach an accurate representation with only 20 people per state.
What is your education level?

Did you actually reach your current age without taking a Statistics class?

All you need to know is that it is a great source to set up dem voters for one of the biggest melts EVER.

2016 will pail significantly in comparison should Trump win.

I am buying a 20 lb bag of popcorn and take it all in.

IDK but if I get called for a poll, I'm torn between messing with them and saying BIDEN/HARRIS and just not answering. (Trump girl here.)

Kushner was on Fox saying almost all these polls are bullshite because they greatly undersample Republicans. Some as low as 24%


He's right. I wouldn't tell a pollster that I'm a Trump voter. I could easily see them selling my information to a leftist group for doxxing purposes.

Guys - a media sampling group has better things to be doing than to doxx you.

Suppose they sample 2,000 voters, and eight hundred of them are Trump voters. Do you really think they're going to spend time doxxing 800 Trump voters just for the thrill of it? These are busy media research companies.

Trust me - I've worked for a political survey firm before (although it was a conservative one.) Such folks are busy, busy, busy. They aren't interested in doxxing you, nor do they have time or energy to do so.
