I saw a comment that said this
Polls are not meant to report public opinion, but to affect it.
😂 👌
Some of them are accurate.
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.
There's all sorts of ways to make one number look bigger than another number on a graph
Like cut out the bottom 10,000 when you're reporting between the figures of 10,032 and 10,212.
"Look at how much better our service is than our competitor's!"
And you caught them on a bad week where you got ahead of them slightly.
lol
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.
I always lie to pollsters
well, you can't really be sure they're pollsters can you?
could be antifa or some other progressive group trying to get you fired.
Apparently sargon is back on Twitter
Take a look at Backworldsman (@backworldsman1): https://twitter.com/backworldsman1?s=09
They're only polling for people stupid enough to give random people time out of their day to answer a poll.
Have you ever had someone approach you in a mall and ask you something?
Don't people with something to do just BLOW THEM OFF?
@Atkins on the other hand, pollsters struggle to measure young voters now.
Tim's video is about actual votes though, not polls.
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...
lol
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.
Then there's the gubernatorial race in FL and GA.
voting is on Tuesday for me
well
Seriously, everything is in play at this point.
for everyone i believe
So do vote.
Some of us have early voting.
im curious how the Feehan and Hagedorn vote is gonna turn out
Interesting
Gab is back!

I. E some of the smartest people are fucking stupid.
"Overall, my findings suggest that higher intelligence
among classically liberal Republicans compensates for lower
intelligence among socially conservative Republicans. Interestingly,
the difference in verbal intelligence between those
who supported the Republican Party in elections and those
who supported the Democratic Party (2 IQ points) is
somewhat smaller than the difference between those who
identify as Republican and those who identify as Democrat
(2–5 IQ points). One possible explanation is that Independents
with higher intelligence are more likely to support
the Democratic Party in elections. Future research should
test this prediction. It should also address the more complex
question of why intelligence happens to be correlated
with particular kinds of social and economic beliefs

2013)."
