Didn’t this polling firm pick Trump to win the presidency? I thought it did. I also thought they had a word way of doing the polling and very the LA Times were using them in 2016. Maybe I am wrong.
“word” should have been “weird”. Sorry.
Yes, they were one of the few to see a strong chance of Trump’s winning in 2016.
Freepers cannot get over the idea that all pollsters are political stooges though, you cannot reason with them.
As voters go to the actual polls to cast their ballots in what has been an unprecedented presidential election, Republican Donald Trump held onto a 2-point lead over his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton — 45% to 43% — in a four-way matchup, according to the final IBD/TIPP presidential tracking poll. Libertarian Gary Johnson captures 8% support from likely voters, while Green Party candidate Jill Stein gets 2%.
In a two-way matchup, Clinton leads Trump by 1 point — 43% to 42%.
Unrounded, the numbers are: Trump 45.0%, Clinton 43.4%, Johnson 7.6%, and Stein 2.0% — which means Trump has a lead of 1.6 points. The final IBD/TIPP poll showed an interesting gain in support for Johnson, who climbed from just shy of 4% four days ago.
Actual final results popular vote:
Hillary 48.02%
Trump 45.93%
Johnson 3.27%
Stein 1.06%
So they got Trump's percentage correct in a four way race, but missed significantly on Hillary's and Johnson's totals.
