That’s a good point. We need to wait for a better poll. However, it’s likely that most polling groups are busy fudging their numbers. Hillary must have a bump at all costs.

I confess: I had to look that up. But while you are technically correct the alternative is the (my prediction) flood of phony biased polls that we will be seeing over the next week. Useless (IMHO).
The USC poll looks good to us because it includes all of the Trump Bounce and only a small fraction of the Hillary bounce. But I believe the USC poll is accurate and free of manipulation since the 3000 participants are set. So there in no more changing the D-R-I mix, the standard technique the MSM uses to favor the Dems in their polling.
So I disagree with you that the poll will be out of date in a week. Not so. Rather we we should have the best reading available of the impact of the two conventions on the voting public. I’m betting Trump will come out ahead in the USC poll. I’m also betting he will behind in the RCP average of most biased polls.
See you in a week.
It means Bookmark or Bump For Later. I wanted to mark that post so I can find/refer to it again . I am interested in what you had to say and want to follow up in the next poll.
Thanks FRiend.
Of course, good old Bump For Later. How could I miss that?
Foolishly I looked up BFL in the Urban Dictionary and found a reference to something being too late to be useful. So that should explain the context of my response.
But all is well now.
Now I have to go look up BFL in Urban Dictionary lol .
Sorry I looked. I had forgotten how vulgar that site is.
Bless you, sweetie. Excellent advice for those who want to win this thing, this time.
You can always count on 3 to 4 days out for the measure of any given day.
These polls are not meant for our encouragement, so I don’t trust them, no matter how they may or may not fall.
TRUMP can win this thing and it will turn on the debates, not these goofy conventions.
Frankly, just knowing the LA Times is a participant does not make me trust this poll in ANY manner.
Also, a new thread this a.m. on same subject says that they poll 1/7 of the SAME 3000 participants each day.
(Surprised they don’t call them “Partners” instead of participants as that is a term so overused today)
Seriously! If not so critical, it would be laughable.
Where two major decisions for NC and WI overturning or partially disabling ID and citizenship requirements
AND then look at the source !!!
