“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.”

So first respondents self select to be on Survey Monkey’s site, then they pre-survey those folks to get an indication of their leaning, and then select which to poll. Oh, they also have a host of additional information on their limited pool of respondents (including even “lifestyle” choices), with which to consciously skew the respondents they select.

About as far from random as you can get - able to produce any desired outcome.

Trump is on a real bounce
and
he should be leading by at least 10 or 15 points in TX anyway

this poll doesn’t sound right, but just in case Trump had better get going in the Lone Star State like he is elsewhere

Texas is full of big cities (everything’s bigger). Big cities lean left. I’m not shocked.

Texas??? What??? They’re trying to turn Texas blue! Maybe that’s why Trump made a campaign stop there not too long ago. SMH.

They’re jumping the shark with these faked polls if they are saying Texas is a “tossup”.

“5,000 polled in Texas, gave Clinton a slight edge, polling 46 to Trump’s 47 percent support. “

Is it just me - or is something wrong with this sentence?

Nobody I know is paying attention to the election now, not with the start of football season. Come back in a few weeks, the results will be normal, i.e. Trump with a 5+ point lead.

Gee, I was wondering when they were going to say Texas is in play.

Anyone who believes this is a complete fool.

Ask yourself: what is the purpose of polling?

To really discover the true feelings of potential voters?

Or to influence the thinking of potential voters???

The poison of Hispanic immigration will probably eventually flip Texas, but it hasn’t happened yet.

And that won’t spell the death of the USA. By the time Texas flips, Virginia, Florida and other former red states will make the Electoral College a lock for the Democrats. Much of that flipping will will come courtesy of third world migration.

“Poison” is a strong word to describe the results of hispanic immigration, but electorally it’s true. They vote majority for liberals everywhere they settle. (even FL Cubans do now) They hand the keys of power to America’s enemies like Obama and Clinton.

Methodology sucks. They polled people who were willing to take another poll after the poll monkey poll. Does not match anything like the poll monkey results
