There is only one democratic pollster to trust after this election..... Pat Caddell.... He called it. He said late last week that it was breaking towards Trump and that he would win.

Weather forecasting

What, slandering hurricanes, calling tornados ugly names.

Whether is based upon reporting observable facts, the wind is blowing, the sun is shining, the night is dark, water is wet.

You don't get to have alternative realities in weather either.

I just saw that interview. Did anyone else catch his answer when he was asked about Clinton camp cancelling the fireworks show? He said something to the effect of "I think they were worried" ,"we have access to internal tracking polls...". In other words he admitted these public polls were cooked in favor of Clinton all along.

Will someone have the guts to ask him on camera why there is always non-public internal polls that more accurately reflect the sentiment of the voters?

Because they are not journalists. They were shills and propagandists, creatures of the alternate universe of 1984.

I will say this, I would watch Sabato on speak on Fox with care and temperance, carefully pouring cold water on Trump. Then I watched him on CNN drop the mask and really go full throated for Hillary and the Dems. Always suspect of Sabato, but once I saw that, I saw who Sabato really was.

Sabado is one of the most arrogant idiots on the planet.

Pray America woke

Heard it! Sabato was gracious, but how else could he be, when he said it.

The people who want you to believe they’re smarter than everyone else are usually frauds. The pollsters remind me of global warming alarmists who also like to manipulate statistics.

I think this election should prompt many individuals to seek other avenues of income. Larry should remain on campus and never be heard from again.

These pollsters and prognosticators didn’t “get it wrong”, they lied. There’ s a big difference, especially in malicious intent.

When was the last time Larry Sabato was right?

Or Karl Rove, for that matter?

Yet, they keep showing up as wise, all-knowing prognosticators.

He’s not being gracious, none of them are. They’re simply trying to recover some ground and some credibility, so that they can go out in the next elction and do the exact same thing. All they hope is that they can refine their methods so that their propaganda-peddling works next time.

Yes, failed in that their push-polls failed to achieve the desired result.

Weather forecasting

GlowBull warming forecasting would be better.

Not based on any observable facts. An alternative reality in the extreme.
