whether your reply was to the OP or the "weather vain" poster, your reply was equally irrelevant. Again, there were numerous valid ways to go about refuting the weather vain poster (I'll throw out another one: Sanders isn't very charismatic in a world obsessed with celebrity and the Cult of Personality). You instead replied with completely unrelated data comparing Clinton with GOP candidates when the weather vain poster was commenting on the shift in the Clinton-Sanders numbers. One doesn't have anything to do with the other. Try as you might, that's not subjective or up for debate. One simply doesn't have anything to do with the other. Period. You might as well be comparing baseball statistics with football statistics.

Margin of error. Garrett78 Aug 2015 #28

I suspect the answer will be "maybe", but polls -should- be questioned. HereSince1628 Aug 2015 #17

I share your cynicism. Most posters now cheerleading the Rasmussen poll would, too, if their BlueCaliDem Aug 2015 #51

Hillary only down 9pts from Jan. and 26 pts ahead of Sanders should be the headline. riversedge Aug 2015 #5

It's a republican polling company MaggieD Aug 2015 #9
