They were honest with themselves.
My fervent wish is that Trump bans the media. Put bloggers in the press pool.
Can he usurp long standing tradition and put Breitbart and Drudge in the front row at briefings. I don’t think he gets a a say so on that.
The dem constituency is filled with the emotionally needy. And the emotionally needy are the ones who will answer any phone call, regardless of where its coming from. Hence, polling gets skewed.
CORRECT!
Now they need to be Investigated by the FEC and ALL THE MONEY they earned as a result should be considered an ILLEGAL IN-KIND CONTRIBUTION to Hillary’s Campaign!
Seriously, what's the purpose of poll results in these political races in the first place? Do they serve any purpose at all?
The UNiversity of Virginia should fire this democrat hack. Let him get a real job (like anyone would hire this useless POS).
I would suggest that Professor Larry Sabato ought to go ahead and take early retirement...maybe get out of the future forecasting business.
According to the latest poll, about 99% of Freepers are mocking pollsters. :-)
Dornsife nailed it!
I think they'll just blame their failure on Americans being even more "hateful" and "ignorant" than even they thought we were, and then they'll start "polling" for the next election...
Hillary couldn't imagine the old coal and steel people remembering the greatness of Pennsylvania. She relied on black and latino populations.
Same thing with Michigan...
Florida....Trump country. It's about jobs. Again, she made it about latinos and blacks.
They are NOT going away. They will manufacture more polling propaganda next time when everyone has forgotten about 2016.
>> I don’t think he gets a a say so on that.
He gets the final say.
I thought that was some kind of voting thing internally by the elite press corps. Like Helen Thomas always got front row.
I don’t know how it works.
Put CNN in the back. HA!
Here is an example of the final day's polling that RCP and Nate Silver both used in their final tally for New Hampshire. Notice that Nate was kind enough to knock down the University of New Hampshire 11 point prediction for Hillary over Trump in New Hampshire to just a 10 point victory while giving the poll a B+ and high weight. This is a joke, Nate. You will never be taken seriously after pulling a stunt like this.
From the 538.com website on November 8, 2016:
My husband says that the best job in American is to be a weatherman. Who else can be wrong a lot of the time and still keep their job. I think pollsters are like weathermen.
I made a list on the live thread last night...seeing these arrogant pricks humiliated is second only in pleasure to hearing the phrase “President-elect Trump”.
They were all poised to prosper and profit by helping to eengineer what they were sure would be a Trump defeat. So let them now suffer pain and misfortune in the same degree.
This article should be permanently posted on FR and referred to every four years.
Agreed. CTH was predicting Trump would win since he announced. Assange has accepted a lot of risk for putting out democrat emails.
The pollsters literally became the subsidiary of the Democratic National Committee. And WikiLeaks proved it back in July 2016.
