Thanks for this...
When things seem too good to be true, they probably are...
The internet is a "her?"
Well it is 2016. Everything is now a her.
Before that, everything was black.
“Think about what that means: The website is saying that a large number of professional pollsters who make their living trying to provide accurate information — and have a good record of doing so — are all deliberately biasing the polls and aren’t correcting for it. Like many conspiracy theories, that seems implausible.”
Like Journalists. Making a living trying to provide accurate information and have a good record but somehow ALL tell the same lie and report in bias fashion
Honestly, I don’t pay much attention to polls. I can control my vote tho, I hope so anyway.
Ignore all media
Get Out The Vote
So, a very liberal Nate Silver site is trying to debunk another poll analysis site. It sounds much like the “professional journalists” acting shocked that anyone would accuse them of bias, except now it’s the “professional pollsters” acting shocked.
Just remember, from the NY primary to Indiana, Trump over-performed his Real Clear Politics polling average by 9 percentage points. Even the Wisconsin primary, one of his worst showings, he over-performed his RCP polling average by .6 of a percentage point. What makes the “professional pollsters” doing the polling now think they are getting it right now when they obviously got it wrong during the primaries?
“Professional pollsters” are not above political bias any more than “professional journalists” are.
rothschilds....soros....rockefellers...hilarity clintoons gang...hous of saud...E.U. group....at least are against Trump.......
half the money of the world....
I think the contrast in attendance.....
is all the accuracy anyone can expect under these conditions...
pols?...?
Funny/odd that 538 is even concerned with it...

I just remember from 2012 hoping that the polls were wrong and that unskewedpolls.com was right. Hillary should be crushed this year but when you have so many voters who are stupid, ignorant, etc, what can you do?
Go get ‘em Trump!
Where’s Laz to turn this kook to the right?
Someone needs to hack Diebold, and the spanish company SCYTL and find out what they are up to.
This is like asking the question of how or why something can come out of nothingness....so many conflicting agendas in the media & the culture concerning this election. Here’s my 2 cents: in this election Trump has 2 things Romney did not have in 2012 IMO: 1: Trump has “voter enthusiasm”...this enthusiasm gap shows in how Trump over-performs in all his elections as opposed to what his polls say. 2: Trump has a “Bradley Effect”...people simply will not tell pollsters or ever friends & family that they will be voting for Trump.
These 2 things, that I believe are in play, make this election difficult to poll & give Trump an upside that can’t be nailed down. Is it enough for him to win....who knows ? But he’s certainly not down in the polls like is being reported, especially by the likes of Silver who has been dead wrong about Trump all year long.
lol
country is ####ed if this continues.
100 pounds women on TV beating up six guys.
I’m sure most have read about the women in NYC challenging me, an ex boxer to various strength competitions because I had gained weight to 250.
The outcomes were hysterical.
Even if, and I doubt that if, the usual pollsters are trying to be accurate, the greater majority of Trump’s support is not in any of their databases of usual suspects to poll.
The polls, as events have shown throughout Trumps primary, are only able to approach the appearance of accuracy if the contest is limited only to the usual DNC vs GOPe matches.
A large percentage of Trump’s support comes from folks who’ve otherwise given up on the process of elections since they were never represented.
They are propping the market. Never in history were markets going so high when growth was so low or negative. I believe McCain also lost the elections right when he was doing good because surprise surprise, they decided to show the bad accounting of real estate at the last minute.
Opinion maker in islam was the story maker, ie. a bunch of fiction writers without money who ended up working for the Caliph to crush all followers of Ali, heir of Mohammad. We are in trouble indeed with all these milenial losers who only talk about what they learn from video games
Nate Silver isn’t what he pretends to be.
Trump is way ahead of Hilliary and the polls are skewed in order to cheat her to a win. Since you are New here I thought I would mention that.
