If I learned anything in 2016, I learned that polls don't mean shat.

1. The polls were pretty correct, many democratic voters failed to vote or

voted stein.

2. They said HRC was at risk

The polls showed that there were a significant number of "undecided" voters, and voters that were switching. When there are more of those than your polling margin, you are at risk. In this election, no on can get a grip on what's going on because no one knows who is going to show up. Worst, for people who do predictions, the early numbers show a significant difference than previous races. But no one knows what that means.

3. Yes, after Comey's antics, I lost all hope.

There were too many forces of evil and suppression actively aligned against her.

5. Don't wanna go through that agony again.

11. Are there undecided voters now?? And is it a large enough number to possibly

make a difference?? Or are the voters pretty much decided on who, they are voting for??

[zipplewrath]

13. Yes, but depends

There are races all over the country that are "too close to call". It a bit of linguistic absurdity, the undecideds will decide. In some locations, weather could be the most significant variable.

4. Polls were only only off by 1.2%

The final average of polls and the final vote tally are both still listed at RCP.

9. State polls have much more error

6. My dad taught me that polls and studies don't mean much

since any study can be skewed to get the results a researcher or company needs. Polls are also not a good barometer due to technology and how they contact those being polled and the fact that people lie (land lines, exit polls, etc).

7. Exactly!

What I was reading in the last few election days was that Hillary was winning. Now, I don't give a damn what it says. It ain't over until it's over, IMO.

8. Fuck the noise. Fuck the pundits. GOTV.

10. the polls were not that off. things started changing after Comey

and polls showed that.

that's why she won the popular vote .

but it is important to vote.

[Blue_true]

12. Exactly. nt

[Wounded Bear]

14. Voting matters...polls are just data points.

Some are more accurate than others. Some are more biased than others.

It's not that they "don't matter." It's that we don't need to change our voting habits because of them.
