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

2018-11-04 22:12:17 UTC

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
(Charlton, 2009; Kanazawa, 2010; Woodley, 2010; Dutton,
2013)."

"Two important caveats should be attached to my
conclusions. First, a 10-word vocabulary test is at best an
imperfect measure of verbal intelligence, let alone general
intelligence. Indeed, there is already evidence that the
correlation between intelligence and political beliefs varies
with the sub-dimension of intelligence under scrutiny.
Specifically, Kemmelmeier (2008) found that although
libertarian social attitudes were positively related to verbal
SAT scores, they were unrelated to math SAT scores. Second,
most of the effects I observe are small by conventional
standards, especially the differences in verbal intelligence
between Republicans and Democrats. According to convention,
a standardized difference of 0.20 constitutes a small
effect size; by contrast, a standardized difference of 0.50 is
considered moderate, while a standardized difference of 0.80
or greater is considered large (Cohen, 1988, pp. 24–8)."

It's an interesting paper

God I must be stupid forgetting and asking this question again! Where was Tim raised again?

2018-11-04 22:21:34 UTC  

So, Your saying the data set, the testing method, and importance of this document. are all thrown out by the caveats....

Who has knowledge on the Optimates and Populares?

2018-11-04 22:23:24 UTC  

So are the Democrats optimate or populare? Or is it the other way around?

2018-11-04 22:23:43 UTC  

you're right - the cited study isn't 100% effective but it is worth mentioning. I'm not sure if all of you have access to the original study because I had to go through my university account

2018-11-04 22:23:44 UTC
