Enjoy it while you can, but this just shows that Clinton supporters will distort reality in order to support their distorted views.


It is only the less smoothing option that creates this distorted chart.





Thay is why Andrea only spoke of Hillary and Joe yeoman6987 Oct 2015 #1
That would mean his attack dogs (supporters) would have to turn on Joe. Walk away Oct 2015 #41
I don't question her motives because I support Sanders. Fawke Em Oct 2015 #43
So you support Sanders because he is not Hillary? upaloopa Oct 2015 #52
Sanders is good for the economic interests of the 99 percent! Period! Utopian Leftist Oct 2015 #53
He isn't running AgingAmerican Oct 2015 #45
Great, The Hillary can go back to winning by 40% instead of 20%. Walk away Oct 2015 #50

I'm sure we'll hear nothing about the less smoothing option jfern Oct 2015 #5
This is the exact opposite of cherry picking. DCBob Oct 2015 #6
The thing is very noisy and weights the latest poll by too much jfern Oct 2015 #7
Look at the last five polls. DCBob Oct 2015 #9
They don't include the most recent poll jfern Oct 2015 #12
I like this poll also, Hillary still on top. Thinkingabout Oct 2015 #48
Don't forget Mike Dukakis. He was included in at least one poll and he's in fourth place. Cheese Sandwich Oct 2015 #8

Well is was customized, but with what values? Not the one listed in the article LiberalArkie Oct 2015 #21
Here's the poll using DCBob's date range: KeepItReal Oct 2015 #22
