‘Does anybody actually pay attention to the Reuters poll methodology? Check it out:
1299 respondents: Trump 40%- 11/19
981 respondents: Trump 38.5%- 11/20
636 respondents: Trump 42.4%- 11/21
464 respondents: Trump 42.9%- 11/22
441 respondents: Trump 42.6%- 11/23
381 respondents: Trump 38%- 11/24
362 respondents: Trump 37%- 11/25
358 respondents: Trump 31%- 11/26
346 respondents: Trump 31%- 11/27

Notice how Trump’s numbers significantly decreased once they began to lower the sample size?’

You know, I actually noticed how their samples were really small back when they were showing Carson coming close to Trump. I guess they’re at it again since they need a new narrative, but everybody else besides Trump are so far behind it doesn’t really make a huge difference.

"Does anybody actually pay attention to the Reuters poll methodology? Check it out:"

Yes:

We can safely say Trump is at about 40% when the sample goes over 440.

" Interesting that all the samples above 440 have Trump at 42% this one with 38% has a sample of 368."

Well, I suppose that this is one way to look at it.

The first thing that I noticed--honestly!--is that Donald Trump's numbers have gone down significantly over this eight-day period.

My guess is that his numbers exploded, immediately following the terrorist attack in Paris; and then gradually decreased.

“346 respondents: Trump 31%- 11/27”

Yeah I noticed. Dummies get fooled. Reuters is selectively polling here.

There is another slant story about this same wonderful Reuters poll that said that Trump plummeted by 12%, thereby will lose the election quickly. Gee, I guess reporters feel it is their ‘obligation’ to educate voters in the way that they want the outcome to be...
