I’m not surprised. The poll construction would mirror those maps of prior elections which show seas of red and islands of blue. But, the islands of blue have many, many more people. That biases O’Reilly’s results.

Now. If they actually did that, and I have no reason to doubt it, and they came up with those results like they said. I would be....

he still wins the popular vote by a wide margin.

Popular vote means nothing.

Invalid poll because Democrats, women, and college educated voters were not oversampled by 20%.

>The result was shocking. 86% Trump and 14% Hillary.<

Nothing shocking about that, but highly hopeful and promising.

Yeah, if only South Dakota had the same number of electoral votes as California.

Would you happen to have the cross-tabs for this poll?

[ZOOKER]

I haven't been polled and probably won't be, for several reasons:

1) I live in a reliably red state. There's no doubt where my electoral votes will go, so my opinion is not newsworthy.

2)I screen my calls and don't answer out-of-area calls. Even if a pollster tried to call, I wouldn't answer.

I really know nothing about the actual mechanics of polling, and am trying to justify the huge disparity in results between different polls. Can anyone explain why this poll is so radically different (other than outright lying by one polling org)?

Is this a "push" poll where the caller is bullying the respondent into their candidate? Obviously that would skew the result.

Does the caller identify which company is conducting the poll? People could hang up on a pollster based on perceived bias of the polling organization (i.e. Dems hang up when they learn it's a "FOX" poll). Results would not be accurate then.

Does the polling company screen respondents based on answers to "other" questions? (i.e. hot-button issues like school choice, gun control, abortion, etc.)

and yet O’Bloviator last night was bloviating on about how “nobody won the debate” and because Trump failed Hillary will continue her “6 to 10 point lead” thru election day.

Spit.

Here’s what I think: O’Reilly is jealous.

It’s been clear all along that because Trump and he attended baseball games together he deserved some special treatment and that he envied Trump having elevated himself far beyond where O’Reilly could ever go. He’s a thin-skinned p$ick anyway, and Trump’s success really bugs him.

[halfright]

Just between you and me, ALL these polls are Bull ship. They are all media polls. They lie. I predicted a landslide Trump win 10 months ago...

[MMaschin]

I would like to see the wording of what the interviewer said - did they mention they we calling for O'Reilly? And, did they keep calling until they had responses, or did they only call 25,000 people?

I'm hoping that 1) They did not mention who they were conducting the poll for, because mentioning O'Reilly would bias the poll. And 2) they kept calling until they had 25,000 responses. Otherwise the large 25k poll, becomes a small 750 poll.

But, if it was done correctly, the main thing it shows is, a LARGE number of Democrats crossing over to vote for Trump!

This is flying around conservative websites in recent days, but is bogus. It is mixing together a plain old Bill O'Reilly online poll (the kind we tell Freepers to Freep) and a supposed poll conducted by a bunch of grad students in August (in that version, it was a total of 50,000 people polled). If you try to find the original source of that grad student poll, you keep going around in circles.

Not trying to burst your bubble, but the O'Reilly part is definitely not true, and the other is something floating on the interwebs that anyone could have made up.

[catnipman]

I can find no links that validate a single thing being claimed about this “poll” other than a supposed TV screen capture and dozens of copy-cat claims bouncing around in the conservative blogosphere.

[sockhead]

Interesting. My sons live in Cook County, Illinois. Chicago suburbs, near Hillary’s hometown Park Ridge. They told me today that they have seen only 2 Hillary yard signs.

No Hillary bumper stickers.

Same is true of my area in Virginia where Obama and Bernie support were prevalent.

Funny that so few are proud to support Hillary.

On Twitter, the excuse given is that HRC didn’t want to waste money on yard signs and stickers. And that supporters are afraid of being attacked. Yeah, right.
