Polls in 2016 had Hillary at a 95% chance of winning.

How about do your own damned homework and stop trying to be spoonfed by others like a leftist instead of being a smartass stating "yeah" when someone gives you the most glaring example.

Easily found if you look. Over polling dems by 12-25% and ignoring the south. Duck duck go.

Go find it and stop behaving as a cuck who needs a real man to do it for them. Do you get it yet?

Always scroll down to the bottom of the article for any poll. They throw 75% or 58% around for 5 paragraphs, then hide the important number at the bottom.

There's only 500-2000 people, tops, in any of those polls.

Polls don't mean a thing.

Have you ever gotten a call from a pollster?

Neither have I.

Polls are samples. They take as few as 1000 people. Depending on the pollster, the sample will vary. Good pollsters are able to weigh the results properly based on the geographic breakdown of the sample and give a good margin of error.

Historically , the MSM/DNC have used the polls to sway ppl public opinion. i.e. telling us "Hillary has 90% chance of winning",when they know that was BS, to try to demoralize us into thinking that there is no point in voting at all bc we already lost. This tactic had the opposite effect for Trump. It emboldened us.

In the age of trump polling has been all over the place. Some pollsters were much more accurate than others in 2016. A few things apply that I think skew Trump era polls:

  • Many people that voted for trump voted for the first time in years.
  • With modern cell phones, many people simply dont answer numbers they dont recognize and there isnt a landline without caller ID anymore.
  • There is a big chunk of Trump supporters that do not feel comfortable admitting it in certain company, even to a pollster.
  • The hatred for Trump by the establishment is likely unprecedented in history.
  • WE ARE THE SILENT MAJORITY and we speak at the ballot box.

Usually it's poor methodology. Sometimes intentional, sometimes not.

Most are just made up instead of honestly done. Those that are honestly done are stained by the ones that are just made up.
