TRUMP TROMPS ! ! ! ! ! !
The Cruz supporters used to say: “Ted Cruz is catching Fire!”
Now it looks like he is going down in flames
Headline should read: Half of 680 Republicans Support Trump.
The pollsters and media have been looney for many months. They do a poll of fewer people than most large high schools or do on-line polls which mean nothing, and THEN publish the results as though they represent all voting citizens.
Advice: Don’t ever bet money based on polling results!
My wish is that people who vote in the remaining States will just lie to those who ask them questions in the exit polls. I really tiring of the media calling the primaries for a candidate about 30 seconds after the polls close, based only on exit polls. I’d love to see the media mouths with egg on their faces!
Add 20% to adjust for the customary and now expected media bias and it puts Trump at 60% which is where other recent polls have him as far as support from Republicans.
I more or less agree with you re accuracy of polling in general, but the exit polling for the most part has been almost dead on. The reason for this is these polls are taken after the vote there is no chance for votes to change and those who do answer the questions are not nearly as likely to lie as they are to simply not answer at all.
70% against Cruz.
The poll that really counts will be Trump winning it all in November, no matter what political party he runs for. If the GOPe “pees” on him and the people want him, the GOPe will be history. Having watched this country being torn down by the politicians in DC, we NEED TRUMP now more than ever if we ever expect to save this country. I’m all in for Trump.
This is BS.
It’s way more than 50%.
49% support Cruz if you poll a nut farm.
Interesting. Of course, most will say it doesn’t matter because their candidate didn’t get high enough numbers.
Exit polling. this is why states like Maine where they cheated for Cruz had no formal exit polling. The numbers would not jive.
Lucifer the Canadian Lawyer is fizzing out.
99% support Lyin-Ted if you poll the GOPe
Now it looks like he is going down in flames
Haven’t posted recently. I HAVE BEEN OFF THE RESERVATION.
This is good news.
There is that nasty 50% again!!!!
“jive”
The word is, ‘jibe’.
“They do a poll of fewer people than most large high schools or do on-line polls which mean nothing, and THEN publish the results as though they represent all voting citizens.”
And yet, most of the polls have been surprisingly accurate.
You've got to be of a certain vintage to even get that reference. I be vintage :-)
