They think Frank Luntz's group of 18 out of 20 thinking Clinton won is more accurate lol

The funny thing about online polls is that the MSM and the pollsters don’t get to filter them to engineer the demographics the way they want them.

Depends on what you’re trying to measure. I would hope that a Yale law school graduate could out-debate business school graduste. But I don’t think the snap polls were measuring what the MSM thinks they were measuring.

There is one measure that may be much more accurate: the number of followers on social media. Trump has WAY more followers on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter than Hillary does by a country mile (and then some!), just like Obama was in 2012 over Mitt Romney. And Trump's own America First app for iOS and Android have gotten huge numbers of downloads lately, too.

“But there are so many websites from all over the web that said Trump won, that I have to think it indicates he won with respect to people who are active online at the least.”

By sheer volume, the polls indicate Trump won! Hillary’s “supporters,” or at least those that are left, don’t have the conviction or the fortitude to “freep” the on-line polls, so that in and of itself is a repudiation of Hilary, even by “her own!”

“Slimes” is typically used for “Times”, such as NYT and LAT.

This Washington paper is properly called the “Compost”.

Right about n the moola!

What I noted was the Yuge numbers of votes.

I saw numbers for Trump like 700,000 and up in several online polls.
