In reply to the discussion: Why should we vote for a candidate with LESS of a chance to win the GE? [View all]Bonobo
(29,257 posts)In light of your evidence, I certainly must soften my statement that all evidence shows Sanders beats Trump more convincingly than Hillary does. Thank you.
However, I must reiterate and underscore my objection to the AMOUNT that the FOX News poll skews the results of the aggregate. Yes, in theory the purpose of an aggregate poll is to do what you say, to avoid cherry picking.
But there is another commonly used method to avoid outliers skewing the results and that is to throw out the outliers. In this case, I believe you would probablly agree with me that the FOX NEWS POLL which sticks out like a sore thumb with its weird numbers, should be tossed out.
That would place the results in a much more favorable light for Mr. Sanders.
On edit: As I said, I am cooking at the moment and apologize if I do not meet all your questions to your satisfaction.
On edit 2: Quinnipiac VS. FOX NEWS POLL is a no-brainer wrt which to believe.
