“Most credible polling organization in the US” means just about nothing these days, in my opinion.

It started on 4Chan and then moved to 8Chan. It is pretty much impossible to know if it was the same person on each site.

There is a difference between attesting that people wouldn’t have voted for Trump and attesting that this survey does not prove anything. The latter seems to be the only thing we can deduce here.

Thank you, I was questioning the results too, and your info perfectly illustrates why. I’d bet dollars to doughnuts that the most difficult eligible voters to predict are the kind of people who don’t check their mail, don’t sign up for research surveys, and don’t want to tell you who they’d vote for. Eligible non-voters didn’t care enough to vote, so why would they cast a ballot with Pew research?

In West Texas, we don’t know about this cold or wet you speak of. Plenty of hot and wind though.

Right, but that is a survey of the type of people who answer surveys. I have to wonder how many people who don’t bother to vote also do bother to answer surveys about voting.

I’m just saying that a good chunk of nonvoters have never voted, so there is no preexisting pattern to predict what they would do. For the last 4 elections, the polls have been largely incorrect. It just seems like a massive assumption to say if every single person voted, he still would have won, particularly when you consider the statistical anomalies in the swing states this last election.

How could they have gotten this information without literally asking everyone in the country?

Dear god. We’re exposed.

The bottom of the card is real, but it isn’t from a Chinese buffet. This card is from a bar.

Nah, that’s Alaska.
