2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI checked CNN and MSNBC this morning for that Florida poll putting Hillary ahead by 8%.
I thought for sure they'd be talking about it (either good or bad), but after an hour monitoring both channels I heard NOTHING.
Not one peep.
Surely it's newsworthy that 28% of registered Republicans who have already voted in Florida reported they voted for Hillary.
That's a huge number, even if the poll itself is biased (and I don't really think it is from what I've seen).
Not one peep.

(81,860 posts)I heard them mention the 28% number. But we won't really know until next week.

(35,015 posts)Even if it means nothing that number is so significant they should be talking about it.
For example, CNN's showcase story is how the black vote has dipped in early voting and how that's bad for Hillary.

(1,580 posts)Mention that the Republican governors halved the polling places and did everything to limit voting in those minority districts. I wish for once those damn Clinton surrogates would respond with a "her the gov has decreased the number of polling places where they can vote....Gee you think that may have something to do with it.

(35,015 posts)Even though it was an outlier giving Hillary only a 1% lead (compared to other national polls), they wouldn't shut up about it.

perhaps a single outlier poll isn't that newdworthy?

(35,015 posts)CNN loves to report on outlier polls anyway (if they benefit Trump of course).

Odonnel broke the story last night. I'm sure karnaki will be analyzing it all day - they brought him on odonnel last night to do just that.

(12,253 posts)So much more accurate than calling people and asking their intentions. This is great news because now we KNOW how people are voting and not how they say they are going to vote.
Divine Discontent
(21,056 posts)The other 2/3 were that she was up 17% on the Exit Poll they did of a little over 300 people, showing a large lead before election day, and the final part was the poll of people who are voting on election day, with him up 1%.
The fact they didn't touch it is wrong. They certainly would have bragged for Trump on Morning Blow.
