2. Florida delivers 246 delegates to the Democratic

National Convention. Clinton leads there by 57 percentage points! That's more than all four February states combined, and Sanders might win one of them - NH.

How can anyone look at polls like this one and continue to insist that Bernie Sanders will be the nominee with a straight face.

Georgia has 112 delegates. Texas, which will also be heavily in Clinton's camp, has 252 delegates.

Reality is reality.

Polls are for changing perception not predicting outcomes Cosmic Kitten Nov 2015 #25

What is a *blended* sample? Cosmic Kitten Nov 2015 #12
I'm sure you've seen my background here, as I talk about it frequently Godhumor Nov 2015 #15
What is a *blended sample*? Cosmic Kitten Nov 2015 #18
Sure. A blended sample means that responses come from more than one source type Godhumor Nov 2015 #32
IOW, unrelaible and no benchmarks Cosmic Kitten Nov 2015 #33
No, that is not what it means at all Godhumor Nov 2015 #34
Blended sampls are unreliable, uncontrolable and heavily biased in weighting Cosmic Kitten Nov 2015 #43
You're making some incorrect assumptions on how blended samples work Godhumor Nov 2015 #58
Weighting is a polling bias Cosmic Kitten Nov 2015 #63
Establishing population parameters is at the heart of scientific polling Godhumor Nov 2015 #67
Yes, generally landlines are elderly and wealthy people. Cosmic Kitten Nov 2015 #73
Let's back up. Do you know what population parameters are and how they're used? Godhumor Nov 2015 #79
