Sarah Palin was smarter than the pollsters http://www.dailydem.com/opinion/article_3f21bb40-acfa-11e6-9109-57e4dfb7d08d.html

I don't think I have ever posted from the Website "Young Conservatives" Before.

I couldn't find any do's or do not's for them here on Free Republic.

If I didn't Excerpt Correctly (or wasn't suppose to at all) please tell me and I will have it fixed.

Ping to Sarah's Accurate List!

I remember watching the LA Times Daybreak Poll and IBD Poll like a hawk here on Free Republic.

Looks like Sarah was watching them too.

Just about the only other one was Wayne Allyn Root.

Sarah should get the Interior Department.

A lot of people should be looking at the LA times tracking poll model. It worked better than everyone else’s.

which was pretty much the left’s way of discouraging Republicans from showing up. Almost a suppression of the vote, if you will.

This is true, and why you should never expect them to be "fixed." Their purpose is not to accurately gauge voter sentiment, it is to make republicans less enthusiastic about voting, and democrats more enthusiastic. The only thing "broken" about this year's polls is that they failed to have the effect of discouraging Trump voters.

Most polls showed Hillary Clinton up bigly over Donald Trump, which was pretty much the left’s way of discouraging Republicans from showing up.

Maybe. But for me, it got me fired up! Hillary might have won, but I wanted it known she had to get past me first! I had something to lose but everything to gain.

Sarah said that polls are only good for strippers and cross-country skiers. A very practical perspective which reveals how polls in the hands of one might be for sleazy purposes while in another, for sport. Those who put out polls that lied about Trump’s favorably were the sleazy pollsters.

Anyone that attended a rally knew the outcome.

The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.

Parent companies include: Disney, Comcast, Time Warner.

In lieu of looking at polls, they should have looked at the crowds Trump attracted vs. Hillary’s audiences. AND they should have looked at the # of small donors vs big, fat cat donors, to each of the campaigns, I know I personally gave more than I ever have in my life. Not big by most standards, but for me it was and it was a financial sacrifice that I was more than willing to make.

Please remember that most polls measured the national Popular Vote.

Clinton will beat Trump in the national Popular Vote by close to 1.8 million votes.

Percentage wise, Clinton will beat Trump by close to 1.5% in the national Popular Vote.

There were 24 national polls released on Monday and Tuesday of election week.

Four polls showed Trump winning. But, only one of those polls was within the margin of error.

Twenty polls showed Clinton winning. But, 15 of those polls were within the margin of error.

I would be really surprised if voter fraud is anywhere close to the 3 million to 5 million votes that many people at Free Republic claim.

Three reasons...

(1) New York and California have the most foreign born residents in the country.

Why would anyone risk committing felony voter fraud in those two states when almost every elective office will be won by a Democrat anyway?

(2) Texas and Florida have the next largest number of foreign born residents.

However, the Republican Party has a very powerful presence in both those states.

Why would Republicans in those two states just calmly stand around and watch millions of non-citizens and criminals vote in their elections?

(3) Also, if voter fraud is so easy to get away with, how do we know that Trump didn't win Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania with voter fraud?
