Final RCP Averages Underestimated Trump’s Lead in Key Battleground States
Breitbart ^ | 10/29/2020 | Hannah Bleau

Posted on 10/29/2020 10:21:47 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Final polling averages underestimated the lead then-candidate Donald Trump held in a number of crucial swing states, including Ohio, Florida, and North Carolina, in 2016.

With early voting underway, critics are beginning to rethink their reliance on polls. “Can We Trust Pennsylvania’s Polls?” reads the title of a New York Times article highlighting the “Trumpmania” among residents in the state. On Thursday, CBS News published an article titled, “What went wrong with polls in 2016? Can we trust them now?” Vox recently posed a similar question: “Biden has a big lead in the polls, but can we trust them?”

I’ll make a prediction for June - Nov 2024. TBN (Commie-Hell) has a 14% lead on TBN (Patriot-America). It has been similar to this every election cycle since at least Carter-Reagan. Polls are commie-rat media propaganda, nothing more, nothing less.

You “might” be able to do that at Christmas. Maybe Dec 14th. Until the college meets, we will not.

The next few weeks will make this past week look tame.

Get ready....

I like good news about Trump but I am skeptical when I see the president have to put in extreme effort just to gain a few points when his adversary can hide out in his basement and get the same results. Am I missing something?

“RCP = Real Crappy Polling”

They don’t conduct the polling, just report it.

We know for certain that no poll is accurate as there never has been a poll that predicted the exact outcome of an election. With that, we know even with more certainty that polls showing Biden leading are fabrications of the Biden campaign, the DNC, the media and the polling firms.

Sure, democraps, you can trust the polls - after all they’re reported by The Media, right?

Joe’s got this, you can just stay home and “be safe”.

Did you miss the whole spirit and content of the article? You have a sophism here that Biden is leading or gaining anything. Trump working hard...well that’s his MO. Entrepreneurs(I am one) make it happen they don’t sit around waiting for others to do. Why Hillary never had a chance, she lost to an opponent who wanted it more and willing to outwork her. Not to mention Hillary and Biden are about the same sub 100 IQ dimbulbs. Trump will win bigger this time and the riots of losers, demons and mini tyrants will be epic.

The RCP is a moving average and doesn’t reflect the momentum coming from the electorate. This gives me “hope” that thing are moving in PDJT’s direction. We still need every patriot to turnout on Tuesday.

You assume polls are polls and not news announcements for line inches. I see less fake on WWF raw, at least those are talented combat actors.

Polls are calling whomever still answers a land line and the polling agency, putting random noise into model and printing a result out that is accepted by whomever paid for the poll.

We had zero chance in 2000, We had zero chance in 2016. We have zero chance today. Republicans are evil. Blah Blah Blah.

Go vote on tuesday.

No kidding.

What they do is take a bunch of crappy polls and they average them all together to yield their RCP poll average.

As I said, RCP = Real Crappy Polling.

When Trump wins, think Frank Luntz will close up shop and go home?
