Men 48%, non-men 52%.

“Quinnipiac is usually a left leaning poll. On the other hand, it was less than a month ago that the Trump camp was harping about the Quinnipiac poll that showed him almost tied with Hillary.”

If the outcome of a poll is favorable, it is accurate.

If the outcome is not favorable it is inaccurate.

That has been the rule for politicians since the inception of polls.

Thanks - good info.

Thanks! I guess I’m just not very good at looking through these PDFs :/

[jonno]

Holding onto THAT is what keeps me sane these days.

sorry. Here is the explanation:

This survey uses statistical weighting procedures to account for deviations in the survey sample from known population characteristics, which helps correct for differential survey participation and random variation in samples. The overall adult sample is weighted to recent Census or American Community Survey data using a sample balancing procedure to match the demographic makeup of the population by region, gender, age, education and race. Margins of sampling error for this survey are not adjusted for design effect.

In this particular poll, I couldn't find anything non-weighted.

Weighted means that they will "adjust" based upon whatever criteria is necessary.

If 50% of the calls are to republicans, they will adjust that downward, as they do not consider the country as a whole 50% republican based on the above. What algore-tythm they use ? who knows.

here a link to the demographic stuff: https://www.qu.edu/images/polling/us/us08252016_demos_U88mxwn.pdf

Apparently a vagina with criminal and national security issues is a more acceptable candidate than a non-vagina can do maverick with a proved record of success.

65% of women for Hillary?

We have great ladies at FR, but I have to say the bad side of women becoming voters all over the world has been the tendency to be socialist at heart wanting everybody to be cared for. In my opinion that has been why much of the world marched left.
Now this is mostly regarding western civilization.

In Islam you get the Nazi attitude and tyrannical government by an all male government powers. That is basically apocalyptic government with Sharia. Here in America a woman sure, but why support such a sick crook ethically challenged going all the way back to her job at the Watergate hearings.

btw - if you think Trump is a bigot or a racist, then you’re a tool.

BTW - You shouldn’t be so quick to accuse someone of being a troll.
a quick look at my previous posts (7k+ btw) should tell you what i think.
Otherwise, to sum it up i supported Trump early on when it wasn’t cool.:)
No need to apologize.

[jonno]

Why? From my “vast” experience: Feelings > Facts

[Rusty0604]

How is it that for days I’ve seen polls that are close, then all of a sudden Hillary jumps way ahead? Is staying g home and napping that good of a campaign strategy? Or did they poll 90% dems?

[jonno]

Too quick? Ok, sure. But then please explain your question:
“Do you think its due to Trumps bigoted/racist statements...”

[jonno]

That is why I created this thread.

Other than the knee-jerk “you’re a troll!” responses, I knew that I’d get some good analysis from FReepers.

[jonno]

Great. Thanks for the info. I feel better now about this “poll”.
:)

[Leep]

Note to self..use the /s more.
Anyhow, was saying what the MSM wants people to believe.

[jonno]

Ok - we’re good. My apologies to you - truly. I was just feeling a little grumpy about all the vitriol flowing my way.

Got on my big-boy pants & waders on now.
