From the article :

The crazy numbers are simply representative of which candidate’s supporters are responding to the polls more.

This entire scenario is just the latest example of why it’s not wise to call this contest over before it’s over. You’d think that after the third, fourth, or fifth crazy thing to happen in this election, the “experts” would get that.

I guess not. Should we take another poll?

Interesting take.
I got Rasmussen-ed for the first time yesterday.
Their automatic phone button answering method is interesting.
I suspect that they have some interesting internals that they keep under wraps.
The questions were all leading questions and you cannot tell if they are giving the next certain question because of the answer you just gave or not.
I can just see someone choosing and including for effect instead of truth.

In reality Trump is far, far ahead. His strategy of bypassing the media in favor of several massive rallies a week has gotten his message directly to the people...not filter. And once people see Trump they stop listening to the media. The media is desperately trying to do what they’ve done in the past but it’s not working....so they ratchet it up...and it still doesn’t work. It’s the ONLY weapon they have.

Polls now are intended to sway public opinion, not reflect it.

Good article, I learned something.

A somewhat encouraging word. Thanks, 2DV.

From the article:

“...Every poll has a list of the top people it wants to survey, but when and if those top people don’t respond, the survey’s statistical reliability starts to decline. ...”

What if —nobody— answered a poll?

I bet that is what happened with brexit.

Everyone is in denial,what’s the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
Well folks guess what,we are all insane,we go through the same exercise every election cycle I can remember,facts are we had two terms of a guy who got blow jobs in the oval office and used a cigar on her among all the others he was doing,we have had eight years of a Muslim sympathizer,now we are going to have eight years of a lying felon with a Muslim brotherhood sympathizer as a chief of staff.
I don’t know how much evidence we need to come to the realization that our Country is filled with people who are all scam artists and crooks of every type,they just admire Hillary for her accomplishments,the perfect crime,she a felon will now be in charge of the entire criminal justice system,our military that she despises,she is the ultimate super hero villain,she has acquired the One Golden ring to control them all.
GOD HELP US ALL
