A Faux Poll touting ¡Yeb! as a winner is problematic

Then we need to throw out Trump's strong showing too right. Fox itself didn't do the poll. Pollsters themselves can stack the deck by the numbers of each party they interview but this poll on the internals looked fairly legit.

Polls at this point are only entertainment and news “story” generators.(

Sampling is always problematic. There are some people whom pollsters are reluctant to approach. Some people select themselves as respondents. Many who always turn out to vote will not participate in polls.

I don’t trust any poll, ever, right up until the last vote is counted (and frequently, if it is a vote for a demonrat, counted twice).
