However if there was a polling/consulting company that had Democrats and Republicans equally represented I might consider it. But they would have to be reasonable Republicans and not deplorables...

26. Is Nate Silver some demigod whose word is dispositive?

The principals are certainly credible:

Kristen Soltis Anderson is a pollster and author of The Selfie Vote: Where Millennials Are Leading America (And How Republicans Can Keep Up). She is co-founder of Echelon Insights and is a columnist for The Washington Examiner. During the fall of 2014, she was a Resident Fellow at Harvard University’s Institute of Politics. Previously, she served as Vice President of The Winston Group, a Republican polling firm in DC. In 2013, she was named one of TIME Magazine’s “30 under 30 Changing the World,” Marie Claire’s “New Guard“ of fifty rising female leaders, one of Campaigns & Elections’ “The Influencers 50” as one of the campaign “disruptors” to watch, and as one of National Journal Magazine’s “25 Most Influential Women Under 35 in Washington.”

Patrick Ruffini is a strategist, thinker, and organizer focused on data and technology’s disruptive impact on politics and business. He was among the first digital strategists in American politics, working for President Bush’s 2004 campaign, directing the Republican National Committee’s digital strategy in 2006, and founding Engage, a leading digital agency in politics and issue advocacy. Ruffini has led technology efforts in three successive Presidential cycles and advised clients around the world.

Should I put the "Buzz" in Nate Tin's ear that Ms. Soltis Anderson was a Resident Fellow at Harvard University’s Institute of Politics. Previously, she served as Vice President of The Winston Group, a Republican polling firm in DC. In 2013, she was named one of TIME Magazine’s “30 under 30 Changing the World,” Marie Claire’s “New Guard“ of fifty rising female leaders, one of Campaigns & Elections’ “The Influencers 50” as one of the campaign “disruptors” to watch, and as one of National Journal Magazine’s “25 Most Influential Women Under 35 in Washington.”



I think we can stipulate she is an expert in the field of political surveys.

Measuring poll to poll differences not always best given size of potential sampling error.

Look at the mean lead over polls before and after debate. Within individual polls...a crapshoot.

vision, exclusively. He calls attention to his crazy just fine by himself.

I say this because lots of interviewees/undecideds are saying she's not giving them the reason to vote for her.

And a correction...50% of the poll was taken on Monday which would have been pre-debate. Most pollsters won't call past 9pm.

I won't trust many polls claiming some kind of debate influence before Friday, maybe late Thursday. More likely, it won't show up til the weekend.
