Not the midterms, the presidental?

2018-11-04 21:54:53 UTC  

I saw a comment that said this

2018-11-04 21:55:04 UTC  

Polls are not meant to report public opinion, but to affect it.

2018-11-04 21:55:16 UTC  

😂 👌

2018-11-04 21:56:01 UTC  

Some of them are accurate.

2018-11-04 21:56:26 UTC  

But when they get this big. When so much is on the line. And there's this many METAPHORICAL TELEPHONES the numbers have to pass through.

2018-11-04 21:56:41 UTC  

There's all sorts of ways to make one number look bigger than another number on a graph

2018-11-04 21:57:02 UTC  

Like cut out the bottom 10,000 when you're reporting between the figures of 10,032 and 10,212.

2018-11-04 21:57:17 UTC  

"Look at how much better our service is than our competitor's!"

2018-11-04 21:57:45 UTC  

And you caught them on a bad week where you got ahead of them slightly.

2018-11-04 21:57:49 UTC  

lol

2018-11-04 21:59:15 UTC  

i doubt that any of the polling companies have managed to capture and account for the 'shy tory' effect. i know that i would never, ever tell a random stranger who calls me on the phone what party or candidate i support.

2018-11-04 21:59:55 UTC  

I always lie to pollsters

2018-11-04 22:00:47 UTC  

well, you can't really be sure they're pollsters can you?

2018-11-04 22:01:05 UTC  

could be antifa or some other progressive group trying to get you fired.

2018-11-04 22:01:29 UTC  

Apparently sargon is back on Twitter

2018-11-04 22:01:31 UTC  

Take a look at Backworldsman (@backworldsman1): https://twitter.com/backworldsman1?s=09

2018-11-04 22:01:53 UTC  

They're only polling for people stupid enough to give random people time out of their day to answer a poll.

2018-11-04 22:02:12 UTC  

Have you ever had someone approach you in a mall and ask you something?

2018-11-04 22:02:19 UTC  

Don't people with something to do just BLOW THEM OFF?

2018-11-04 22:02:23 UTC  

@Atkins on the other hand, pollsters struggle to measure young voters now.

2018-11-04 22:02:23 UTC  

I do.

2018-11-04 22:02:48 UTC  

Tim's video is about actual votes though, not polls.

2018-11-04 22:03:08 UTC  

Mind you, the votes aren't counted, but you can make pretty informed guesses.

I was waiting for someone to post that. And it's even been "fixed" to use the NPC meme...

2018-11-04 22:06:06 UTC  

lol

2018-11-04 22:06:25 UTC  

I will say this. If you haven't voted yet...you should do so. Everything is in play it seems. MI, TX, WV, IN, GA, NJ... There was briefly a poll showing the R's gaining on the D's in the CA governor race.

2018-11-04 22:06:37 UTC  

Then there's the gubernatorial race in FL and GA.

2018-11-04 22:06:44 UTC  

voting is on Tuesday for me

2018-11-04 22:06:49 UTC  

well

2018-11-04 22:06:49 UTC  

Seriously, everything is in play at this point.

2018-11-04 22:06:53 UTC  

for everyone i believe

2018-11-04 22:06:55 UTC  

So do vote.

2018-11-04 22:07:08 UTC  

Some of us have early voting.

2018-11-04 22:07:34 UTC  

im curious how the Feehan and Hagedorn vote is gonna turn out

2018-11-04 22:12:17 UTC  

Interesting
