divided between Republicans, Independents and Democrats?

Slightly

Huh?

I'm confusing myself and taking this to an indefensible point

Welp

You're saying that polls oversample Democrats, right?

Yes

Well what would be a appropriate percentage of Democrats for a poll?

I don't know

obviously the percentage of Americans who identify as Democrat, right?

Probably they just sample a area populated with more dems then reps

that's not how a poll works

they don't survey in one place

most polling firms do random digit dialing

Then survey multiple pro dem places

*sigh*

they do random phone numbers all across the country

Posted that before I read your second post sorry

"random"

yes, it's random

I've got to eat dinner, I'm out

Not sure how much longer I can defend my point anyway

""""random""""'''

why would polling firms fake polls?

they're private business

they wouldn't make money if they couldn't accurately portray American public opinion

nobody would pay them to make polls, in that case

>private

>private companies can't have an agenda, or the people paying for the polls don't have an agenda either

The only "polling" agency I would consider trusting is Pew Research

They're usually pretty good.

Yeah, Trump's approval according to Pew is 37%

Approval ratings have always been crap, Reagan's were terrible and then he swept the country.

Reagan won because America was Whiter in the 1980s

.....

that's not the point

lmfao

Seriously what the fuck

we aren't talking about demographcis

That wasn't even a dodge
