An alternate conclusion is that the Optimus Poll is a Trump robotic push poll. If you have a look at the questions asked, it sure looks like one to me. In other words, I think it is suspect.
For example, the poll asks specifically about Trump, Kasich and Cruz - in that order. A genuine poll rotates the choices.
Another point, and any statistician will confirm this, there is no reason to poll a sample size of 6,000 respondents. it is absurd since meaningful results can be obtained with a sample size one-tenth that.
I think I will stick with the reputable polls. If one comes out that puts the marquette poll in doubt, I’ll rethink. Until than, the Marquette poll looks good to me.
In the CNN Townhall, over 4,000,000 watched Trump to Cruz’ 3,000,000 . There is an accurate poll for you! I think I will stick with the ratings.
I saw no problem with the questions.
Were the respondents only Republicans? Registered? Likely? Adults?
