That is some classic projection given the vitriol over at the Clinton side site. blackspade Nov 2015 #87

Nothing like what is posted here upaloopa Nov 2015 #92

That's like, your opinion, man. blackspade Nov 2015 #93

Florida poll is a crap salad sample Cosmic Kitten Nov 2015 #3

Very graphic. I never order the crap salad when I dine out. MineralMan Nov 2015 #7

Fairly well designed... lulz Cosmic Kitten Nov 2015 #10

They don't. I'm not in that business. MineralMan Nov 2015 #19

While you're fake laughing... Adrahil Nov 2015 #22

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

You keep telling yourself that, Dick Morris. nt Adrahil Nov 2015 #27

Sanders supporters don't say that in the few polls where he's ahead. George II Nov 2015 #38

But, but, but ... NanceGreggs Nov 2015 #46

Yes, got it. Thanks for that major dose of "reality"........... George II Nov 2015 #72

Cosmic kitten... CheshireDog Nov 2015 #30

I don't think you do "get it" Cosmic Kitten Nov 2015 #91

There has been a lot of discussion about the issues by both candidates. The difference has been... George II Nov 2015 #108

It's only wrong NOW, with Sanders plummeting and Clinton soaring. Back in May and June, even.. George II Nov 2015 #112

Why is a blended sample a crap salad? Godhumor Nov 2015 #8

She has no idea.. just throwing shit on the wall... DCBob Nov 2015 #11

Throwing crap on the wall is pretending polls predict outcomes Cosmic Kitten Nov 2015 #13

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

K, dinner/family time out Cosmic Kitten Nov 2015 #86

And poor people who can't afford cell phones or smart phones. George II Nov 2015 #111

LOL ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #69

If there is an actual interest in learning, I don't mind doing it Godhumor Nov 2015 #85

I've responded to recorded voice interviews. MineralMan Nov 2015 #21

Maybe because the overall results are nearly identical? George II Nov 2015 #41

And that seems statistically probable? Cosmic Kitten Nov 2015 #44

Hillary's campaign is building a ground game in every upaloopa Nov 2015 #9

A ground game with elderly women? Cosmic Kitten Nov 2015 #14

"A ground game with elderly women" sufrommich Nov 2015 #17

Nice language Cosmic Kitten Nov 2015 #20

Your nasty post deserved nothing less. nt sufrommich Nov 2015 #26

Why so judgemental about who deserves what...too personal for me Cosmic Kitten Nov 2015 #29

Why do you think that stuff will attract more support upaloopa Nov 2015 #37

CAlling people names will help Hillary? Cosmic Kitten Nov 2015 #39

All the polls are bogus? Cali_Democrat Nov 2015 #62

Bogus? Who knows, but they are not predictive of outcome. Cosmic Kitten Nov 2015 #65

Or something lol Cha Nov 2015 #101

Yeah. George II Nov 2015 #68

When Sanders attracts Republicans it's wonderful, and cause for celebration lunamagica Nov 2015 #52

Hillary is NOT attracting republicans Cosmic Kitten Nov 2015 #55

If she did the Sanders fans would be complaining she's too far right. George II Nov 2015 #110

I love it how they have to get on a Thread that shows Hillary gaining so much traction and spout Cha Nov 2015 #102
