I Don’t Believe The Latest SC Polls - Here’s Why (Clemson and Opinion Savvy Polls Are Wrong)
National Review ^ | 2-19-16 | Henry Olsen

Posted on 02/19/2016 1:28:38 PM PST by dlt

Two polls, one from Clemson University and the other from Opinion Savvy, have been released since I wrote my blog post on SC. Both have Trump in the high 20s, suggesting tomorrow night will be closer than I predicted. Here's why I discount each poll.

Yes, and some people claim that there's a woman to blame And I know it's my own damn fault.

Ha ha ha ha!

Either you're referring to the Hillarybeast, or there's a "Margaritaville" in S. Carolina?

It’s not going to matter who wins. Trump doesn’t have enough voters.
Cruz doesn’t have enough voters.
Bush, kacish and Rubio will take a third and the RNC will give one of them the delegates. Just like with Bernie Sanders.

I think Rush has been covertly pro-Trump and even Levin is starting to walk it back.

Clemson poll did not include first Time voters, which will be overwhelming Trump. Close to 50%.

I’m glad we finally have primary results showing just how badly the MSM will lie. We were bombarded by them with stories of Trump only appealing to non-college educated voters. That meme has, thankfully, finally died the death it deserved. That he is winning all demographics must scare the hell out of them.

I opined last week they have a two pronged attack...

Even if he wins, anything short of 40 will be spun as underperforming. Even if he hits 40 the story will again be 2nd and 3rd, and talk of momentum.

Regardless of who wins or by how much the story will be which group of racists turned out for the GOP.

According to the latest Public Policy Polling survey released Tuesday, 54 percent of Republican voters said the flag should still be flying on the capitol grounds while 32 percent believed it should not be flown. Among Trump’s supporters the state, the number in favor of the flag remaining on capitol grounds rose to 70 percent with 20 percent in opposition to the idea.

Levin was back to saying Cruz and Trump need to be united last night.

I stopped reading all polls on Tuesday...poll overload.

Polls have evolved into click bait. If you put "Trump" and "Poll" in a headline, you are assured of at least 1 million hits...

FWIW, my daughter in law in SC thinks Trump is crazy and not worthy. I don’t know who she and my son are supporting, but there will be 3 votes from that household in November. (grandson will be of age.)

How can you poll a state that has cross over voting and you have no idea how much fraud to figure in and who to figure the fraud for? This is where we got John McCain. The candidate true Republicans never wanted, remember? All from cross over c*@*.

“I can’t believe Nikki Haley is so popular.”

She’s not. The toad refuses to show her face in South Carolina’s Upcountry. She’s well liked in alligator wrestling farms in the Lowcountry, in Syrian terrorist camps and her mom likes her.
