that is what the democrats and elites get for decades of insulting our intelligence. We just won’t talk to you anymore, and we certainly do not trust you.
As with millions of others, when we see an “unknown” number calling our phone, we don’t answer. That’s why polls are wrong and shouldn’t be trusted.
Another month, another set of excuses.
Hillary was dreadful. Get over it, dems.
Dang it, Roscoe! How can we get them ignorant, redneck hillbillys to vote for us again? Have they all forgotten how FDR kept their ma & pa from dyin’ during the depression?
That’s just an excuse and another major lie from the democratic party.
I’m pretty sure that they polled everybody that they could call and talk to on the streets and at work, and everywhere else.
Their problem is that, they looked at the polls, and worked the numbers to show that they were winning or ahead in just about everyone of them. They “fixed” the numbers in order to try to sway the undecided in their direction. Problem is that, fake polls and fake news, were not going to change the minds of the people who had already decided that they’d had enough of Obama and his policies and that of the liberals.
That polling “blind spot” is what most people call having their heads shoved up their rectum.
The polling in the cities is easy and not so expensive. The thought was the large blue zone cities are actually representative of America.
The win in the popular vote in the cities proves the polls were right.
The premise for the polling was wrong
Trying to reason with election season.
Hey polling companies! We know you lurk! I can help you with that -- NO CHARGE:
>>The democrats believed the false polls they created.<<
They were spun on purpose. The tendency for the last 20 years or so has been to goose polls to the left to make Conservative voters despondent and not show up. It worked marvelously in 2008 ans 2012.
In 2016 people in flyover country were galvanized and motivated. They didn’t care what the polls said: they wanted to Make America Great Again.
And did.
Correct. I’ll say it again, there were polls out in July 2016 that showed bellwether Pennsylvania counties that had gone +5 for Obama in 2012 were +21 for Trump in 2016.
It is the conceit of the Progressive Obama/Hillary democrats that they can win with a coalition of of welfare dependents, illegal aliens, minorities and the Political, Government, Academic, Entertainment, Business and Cultural Elite class.
They rejected the democrats traditional working class blue collar voter because they really do hate these people.
That is why Hillary lost.
They can’t poll ‘rural white working class voters.”
They are not home during the day - they have a job or are looking for a job.
They can’t poll them at night - they’re eating dinner with the family and ignoring all calls.
They can’t poll them on the weekend, if they not out with the family, or working in the yard, they they are working again.
And they’re not going to answer calls that don’t have caller ID, anyway!
I waded through about half of the comments... Good Grief! There seem to be a lot of obnoxious Californians who are intent on bashing rural people!
I have a clue for the pollsters - don’t do all your polling in cities and on College Campuses. It’s the only way they got the 60-75% with bachelors degrees that I saw in so many of them. Of course it would be EASIER that way, since College Students AND Prof’s answer for any number; no need to try to find Rural folks who are all out WORKING (job or around home, helping someone out, at church functions, etc).
What’s that map? I see Utah being the “most Democratic” state, and nothing else being anywhere close to it. That can’t be a correct interpretation.
As we showed in our book “How Trump Won,” not only were the pollsters OFF, but toward the end, we were told by pollster Richard Baris of PPD (the most accurate of all pollsters who got MI and PA) that Cankles was no longer polling internally.
The ultimate irony of this election is that Cankles bought into her own fake news and fake polls.
I saw the same thing....since when did Utah go full libtard?
