For what it’s worth, while I fear we are losing this election I do not believe in averaging polls. We have a poll that said Trump was ahead by one point. We have a poll that says Trump is behind by 14 points. Does that mean the true answer is Trump is behind by 7 points? What if he’s actually ahead by 1?
Averaging bad polls is silly.

Averaging bad polls is silly.
...
Why?
Prove to me that people were actually called and polled people on the phone. Couldn’t they just make up the numbers Prove? Have the courage to know your enemy. Prove to me they actually make phone calls. Prove to me they actually get enough Republicans on the phone to make samples okay. As you know conservatives tend to hang up and not participate because we don’t trust what people do with information that we give them they can destroy our families and our fortunes. Prove that to me. By the way my educational background is in statistics and sampling methods not that that matters Since that was such a long time ago.

“Averaging bad polls is silly.”
I agree. The averaging includes the far out polls such as those from CNN and the Fox poll.
