Expected, AOL's thumb on the scales again.

I wish pot was legal everywhere so All the worried FReepers could buy about 4 or 5 ounces to get them through the election.

#### the polls.

They’re just that. Polls.

If they decided the election, then i would be concerned.

But that voting thing still happens on the eighth.

[DesertRhino]

This is great. In the instructions to Hillarys Troll Army, there were instructions to make frequent references to 538 because they were in Hillarys pocket.

And here it is! LOL

[MNJohnnie]

The problem here is the Polling aggregators treat all polls as equal. That means if someone thumb is on the scale at say, NBC, it skew the results in a certain direction.

According to SevenNinetySeven’s Forecaster Forecast, AOL.commie is still a full bucket of festering, steaming dogcrap.

[Jeff Chandler]

October/November
Reagan Carter Anderson
40% 44% 9%
39% 45% 9%
47% 44% 8%
Actual result
51% 41% 7%

[Wyrd bið ful aræd]

AOL is still in business?

hmm.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

Has 538 explained why some polls are using such a skewed amount of Democrats? Didn’t think so.

[captain_dave]

This will backfire on the Dems. Hillary has no enthusiasm. The Dem voters, seeing and believing they're ahead, based on the polls, will stay home; since it's in the bag anyway - no worries, right.

Trump will win in a landslide.

[Raycpa]

I don’t like this result therefore 538 is wrong.

[SoFloFreeper]

538 gave Trump a very low chance of winning the nomination, right?

[Donglalinger]

AOL’s track record on predicting the future isn’t so great

[wtd]

[Cboldt]

Sure, of course. The script is Clinton in a landslide.

• Trump faces his fate - Politico
• Donald Trump may not be willing to admit it publicly, or even accept it privately, but he is losing. Big league. - Vanity Fair
• Hillary Clinton's campaign, hoping to force Donald Trump to spend time and resources in a reliably red state, is making a play for Arizona. - CNN

The script can't have a close race, because that would motivate Trump supporters. The script MUST be that Clinton is crushing Trump, the election is over. The polls will support the script, and the press will reinforce the script with the usual poll plus speculation (reasons why) cocktail.

It's all gaslighting.

[Trump20162020]

This isn’t even a “poll”, the author is just pulling Nate Silver’s worthless ‘Hillary has a 99% of beating Sanders in Michigan!’ numbers.

[I want the USA back]

With the 24/7 media hype about the recent accusations, no wonder the public is rating him lower.
The polls reflect the emotion of the moment, not reasoned thinking. But then, the American public is not capable of reasoned thinking.

Natie Silver doesn’t understand the value of enthusiasm and polls that he doesn’t like.

[CodeToad]

We know from WikiLeaks that the entire lamestream media has been lying about the polls and colluding with each other on what the polls are to say.

[sipow]

538 hasn’t been reliable in ages.

False liberal bias doesn’t change reality.

Trump is going to be the next president.

[bk1000]

I don’t believe Trump’s locker room talk or aledged ‘groping victims’ is enough to really cause that much of a slide in the polls to Hillary Clinton. If that is truly the case, then America deserves her. May God have mercy on us.
