Garbage poll.

These are findings from an Ipsos poll conducted for Thomson Reuters May 28-June 1, 2016. For the survey, a sample of 1,615 Americans, including 759 Democrats, 525 Republicans, and 174 Independents ages 18+ were interviewed online. The precision of the Reuters/Ipsos online polls is measured using a credibility interval. In this case, the poll has a credibility interval of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points for all adults, 4.1 percentage points for Democrats, 4.9 percentage points for Republicans, and 8.5 percentage points for Independents. For more information about credibility intervals, please see the appendix.

they polled 759 Democrats and 525 Republicans and only 174 Independents? What an odd sampling; every allocation of the parties I’ve seen its more like 33 percent Dems and 29 percent Reps. this is more like 50 to 35 and maybe 15 percent Ind??? It would appear that they overweighted the Dem voting population by about 10 percent which would give Hillary an 11 percent lead. Anyone else on these curious stats?

Thank you. This is not of likely voters.

Independents account for 43% but not in this poll.
"including 759 Democrats, 525 Republicans, and 174 Independents "

They're trying real hard to show Hillary is winning.

Forty-six percent of the sample are Dims. Pretty well destroys the polls credibility

Of course this is bogus. They say they surveyed 1,615 Americans but their group totals only come up to 1,458.

Throwing out the others that would mean they surveyed 52% Democrats, 36% Republicans, and 12% Independents.

On top of that they said Americans. Not citizens, registered voters, or likely voters.

Big F'n deal. Anyone with a pulse and a room temperature IQ in January can spot this as flawed.

I guess we can take some solace at the depth of their dishonesty this far in advance. Usually they don't get this desperate until right before an election.
