It’s not a poll.
***I agree. Again.

The data are not interchangeable with polling data.
***The data is BETTER THAN polling data.

The numbers reported are not percentages.
***Yes they are. Asked & answered on another post.

What you are doing is misleading.
***No. Prediction markets are better at predicting than MSM polling. That is not misleading. There are examples where both polls and Markets got things wrong, but there are a lot more examples where the polls get it wrong than the prediction markets. It serves as a data point for people to consider when choosing a candidate.

The Fred followers liked InTrade when he was the leader, but they don’t like it now.

Uh, not at this point. The markets are too thin, the results too easy to manipulate.
