skills yourself.

It's within the margin of error. The race is that close.

It is a statistical tie.

You all would be calling it a historic victory and Hillary should get out of the race now, right?

You got me. At least I know how MOE works. Hill could be up by as many as 11 and Bernie can be up by as much as 5.
It's a better result PR wise for HRC but the boasting everywhere is a bit premature.

Boast away if you win Monday.

it helps to read the entire article, including the part where it mentions the poll numbers are within the margin of error because as math tells us, 3 is less than 4.

It was annoying when Sanders supporters were not understanding polling and it's annoying when Clinton supporters don't understand polling. The article even spells it out for you.

And conversely: BERNIE IS PLUMMETING! He's in a FREE-FALL!

There! That should clear things up!





Note to Jury: Oh, I kid! It's well known that hyperbole and exaggeration has long been a source of amusement, particularly inaccurate adjectives were used to describe the most modest gains and losses. This post makes light of the over-use of these three common hyperbolic adjectives. No candidate was insulted or slammed in this post. No candidate's supporters were attacked.
