6% is a rout, if not a landslide.

Polls are crap. Never believe them. Most Conservatives don’t do polls.

Slim majority? When Obama won by about the same amount, it was a landslide

Polls are worthless to use in any meaningful way to “measure” peoples intent and real feelings

Son’t believe me, just look at the polls pre-election between Trump and Hillary and the outcome

Get the picture?

So posting them especially the group you chose is worthless and no real indication of anything

JMHO but there it is

BTW Trolls love polls

That’s exactly what I thought. 1 or 2 percent is slim, not 6.

If its 6 point in Quinnipiac, then its 8-9 points in reality, at least.

This can’t be right. Fox had banner up all weekend that 50% want Trump impeached and removed and another 4% want impeachment only.

Polls are fake, and will have no impact on how legislators vote on impeachment.

The Republicans in both the House and Senate will be rock solid against impeachment, not because of polls, but because the Democrat case is abysmally weak. The Democrats have nothing.

Some Democrats will cross over and vote with Republicans against impeachment for the same reason.

Yes, they care what their constituents think, but they don’t rely on fake polls for that.

A ‘slim majority of 6%’ would be a large margin if the subject was liberals vs conservatives.

After finally seeing the internals, it’s a D+5 sample. Which is skewed, but not nearly as much as most polls on this subject which I have seen at extremes like D+15.

Normalize these results and there’s a solid, beyond margin of error majority against impeachment.

Every media poll is at least 10% oversampled Rats. Every stinking one.

I just read the methodology of the new FOX poll and the first sentence shows why the results are skewed against Trump.

Methodology Interviews were conducted December 8-11, 2019 among a random national sample of 1,000 registered voters (RV). Landline (221) and cellphone (779) telephone numbers were randomly selected for inclusion in the survey using a probability proportionate to size method, which means phone numbers for each state are proportional to the number of voters in each state.

"proportional to the number of voters in each state"

This starts out with 110 out of 1000 calls going into kalifornikator and leaves only 89% to come from the rest of the nation.

What would be more revealing would be the results from california as a stand alone poll.

Today's polls are structured to provide the outcome that the pollster wants, and make it appear that it is "fair".

It's like playing '3 card Monte' and there are 3 Jack of Spades and no other cards.
