Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are in a dead heat in Texas in a new Washington Post/Survey Monkey poll out Tuesday, with Clinton’s one-point lead prompting the pollsters to reclassifying the historically deep red state a “tossup.”

Pretty high sample size....
I call BS!!
Cruz fans who are butthurt + Hispanics who don’t like Trump’s immigration stance + Austin lefties and assorted transplants
Is that enough to flip Texas really?
They literally must have had monkeys conducting the survey. Yeah, nice try, WaCompost.
I never knew we had that many monkeys in Texas.
Texas? No way! Was this registered voters? Was it Rats 44% of those sampled and Republicans 35%?
Bovine Excrement
“Respondents were recruited from users of SurveyMonkey’s polling platform, who were invited to complete another survey after completing separate surveys generated by site users. No margin of sampling error was calculated.”
Aug. 26-Sep. 1 Ipsos A-402 LV 0.86 32% 49%
Trump with 16% lead in texas. Same as Romney last election.
Survey Monkey slipped on a banana ...
Pure BS.
Let her believe it. Have her waste some of her $2 billion in ill-gotten gains trying to flip Texas.
Must’ve taken that poll in Austin.
The poll was conducted from Aug. 9 to Sept. 1, with the sample size for individual states varying from about 550 to 5,000. Respondents were recruited from users of SurveyMonkey’s polling platform, who were invited to complete another survey after completing separate surveys generated by site users. No margin of sampling error was calculated.
So now they are using... SURVEYMONKEY??!?
And REFUSING TO PUBLISH INTERNALS???!?
Nothing less than an outright lie.
Is Survey Monkey related to Trunk Monkey?
Rhode Island tells the real tale.
The author of the piece:
Katherine Krueger is the breaking news editor at TPM in New York City. She was previously a fellow at the Guardian US. She graduated from the University of Wisconsin, where she was editor-in-chief of The Badger Herald.
1. I guarantee you that she would have NO trouble writing lies if that would help leftism.
2. REGISTERED VOTERS? LIKELY VOTERS? Just folks?
3. “No margin of sampling error was calculated.” Then it is NOT a toss-up. It is just a bunch of people answering a poll.
4. No indication as to how poll#1 filtered for poll#2. Let’s see HRC spend a day in a low pollen section of Texas (El Paso?) and we’ll see how seriously this poll is taken by anything other than former Madison school newspaper flacks.
WaPo has also found Hillary! leading bigly, in the all-important Washington Post and NYTimes newsrooms.
It’s just their version of Freeping an online poll. Nothing more than that.
And to think, Trump restored press credentials to these WaPo
clowns!!!!!
I wish he would apply the lessons of THE SNAKE and not invite so many TROJAN HORSES upon himself!!!
