Some eleven hundred people responded in the poll with who they intend to vote for in Saturdays Republican Primary. The final tally gives Donald Trump a large lead of more than twenty percent ahead of his closest competitor, Marco Rubio-the candidate endorsed by GOP leaders such as Governor Nikki Haley, Senator Tim Scott and Congressman Trey Gowdy.

I never know whether to applaud the fact that this is an online poll (younger people are more online savvy, the well-known "landline" problem), or lament the fact that it is an online poll (more easily gamed).

Of possible significance is the unusually large sample size.

The race seems to be tightening. I will be happy wth a 1 point win by Trump. He gets those 29 delegates.

HUH? Didn’t look that way to me.

Well, this isn’t a “scientific” poll that is weighted for all the various demos. Wish it were.

“SurveyMonkey Was The Other Winner Of The U.K. Election”

“Why an online poll? And why SurveyMonkey?”

“It has compiled an impressive track record.

Earlier this year, for example, SurveyMonkey’s polls of the British election were the only ones to accurately forecast the result. SurveyMoney also correctly forecast the Republican victory in the 2014 congressional elections, which many traditional telephone surveys got wrong.” -snip-

It isn’t really a poll at all, it is a self-selected online invitation to express your enthusiasm. Not really predictive of a real vote.

[GeaugaRepublican]

this poll is unscientific.
