If the National Popular Vote doesn’t win the Election, why poll for it?
They got it wrong last time by way oversampling Dems. And so they’re fixing it this year by...massively oversampling Dems.
I saw a poll last week whose internals had a +20 Dem sampling. No way that is an accurate representation of the population anywhere outside of CA and NY.
If I owned a polling firm, I wouldn’t do national polls.
Thought everyone could use a good laugh this morning.
Thanks, but the real laughs will begin on Nov. 4th when the landslide is bigger than expected.......oh how I hate the left........

SeeBS “News”
the formula doesn’t work anymore because nobody has land lines anymore, it is much harder to pick out people in certain areas. I have a cell phone with a Newark Number but I live 50 miles from it in a rural area. I never answer unknown or non saved numbers. Many people do this
They say they do it online now but that is even harder since IP address location can easily be spoofed or just plain wrong. My IP address says I am from Atco NJ or Lakewood, but I am far from those places.
This is why polling is pretty much garbage right now.
On election day the NYT predicted that Clinton had a 96 percent chance of being president Trump only 2 percent.
After the election, the NYT had an editorial apologizing for getting the election coverage so wrong. They would take some time for quiet reflection to see what they mmissed.
Within a week their “quiet self-reflection” concluded that where they went wrong is that they hadn’t attacked Trump enough in 2015-2016, the rest is history.
They didn’t get it wrong. THE Russians stole it...oh, are we not running with thT anymore? Tough to keep up
They’re getting it right this time by oversampling urban NeverTrump Republicans.
It’s a Canadian publication. Thanks for participating, Canada. Now, there’s the door. Go home and get ready for your snow season.

About the popular vote, nothing will convince me that fraud in blue states didn't account for that.
The reason the polls were wrong was because the evil Russkies poisoned the bodily fluids of the pollsters.
Reliable sources have told Commie Brainwashing System that Putin congratulated his spies on their 2016 victory and ordered them to do it again this year!:

Yes Sir, the CBC: a festering dunghill of horse$hit and old Arts Center tickets.
“In Texas, Trump is ahead by only 0.9 points. In 2016, Clinton was behind in Texas by nearly 12 points.”
This part is a real howler. IIRC, back in September of 2016, the Media Party talked of Hillary even winning Texas. So now they say Trump had this 12 point lead in that state. How this current 0.9 number could ever be accurate when you get out of the urban areas of Austin, DFW, and Houston is beyond me.
