538 and RCP will not exist after November 8

Posted on 10/06/2016 11:37:16 AM PDT by Viper652

They have just done themselves in with these fake polls. They won't show Trump even close by election day.

538 now has South Carolina shaded light red.

Nate Silver is a clown who caters to the leftists who want hear his nonsense. Long term projection by him are a joke. You’d do better flipping a coin.

I’m sure nate plastic is being paid handsomely for destroying his brand. Better get the money up-front, the Clinton’s are notorious for not paying suppliers

I disagree. They will "get it right" in the final few days and everybody will forget how wrong they were the rest of the year.

It's like the TV weatherman predicting a blizzard for a full week. Then the night before, he changes his forecast to partly cloudy, telling us that the storm went out to sea. Everybody will remember he got it right in the end.

“Linkey no workey for me...”

I know. I clicked on it over and over and it didn’t do anything. Now I’m triggered and I’ll have to go find my safe space to help heal from all the trauma.

Considering that there are five or six threads going on this topic, why did you post this as a vanity when it could have been posted as a comment to any one of those threads? What made this single line vanity so important that you had to take up bandwidth to post it? What is your justification for posting it?

I have always wondered why there are so many vanity posts, the contents of which rate little more than a comment on an existing thread. I've been coming here since '98 and have not felt compelled to post one yet.

Sure they will. The Dem Poll Propaganda Campaign will necessarily end a week or so before the election. Nate Silver will lecture us about how shocked he is to see the “Late Breaking Voters” going for Trump. In the end he will probably give his best for the team by declaring the race “Too Close To Call”.

RCP doesn’t poll, it just prints the polls of others, but...

I’ve got $500 I’ll send to Free Republic to hold in case 538 OR RealClearPolitics goes out of business for any reason by the time of the inauguration....

...if you’ll take the other side of that bet and put up $500 you’ll donate to Free Republic on inauguration day if both 538 (Nate Silver) and RealClearPolitics is still in business.

I trust Jim Robinson to hold the funds and distribute the $500 back to the winner of the bet after inauguration day. The loser gets to make a nice donation to a great blog.

When you have studied elections cycles long enough you will realize ther is pattern to the polling. If the dem is behind then in the polls it is a tied neck and neck race or the dem is slightly ahead to depress the republicans form going to vote. The dem will be portrayed ahead if he is actually ahead and the pundits are smug. The week before and of the vote the polls change to get to actually numbers because the only poll that matters next election is the last one the polling companies publish....they need to be the most accurate poll that last week so they are trusted next election by the people....that is the influence trust ability factor they rely on.
