Now I'm Scared For The General Election (not about a Hillary win) |
|
But because the polling in this country has been proven, tonight, to be severely flawed. How can we take any poll with even the smallest grain of salt after tonight?
How do you go from being up 10 points in the polls THE DAY OF THE ELECTION to down 3 during the night?
How????

8. Polls if done right have been very good @ getting the outcome right. |
|
We are seeing a 14 point swing in less than 24 hours ....
This so do not pass the smell test.

13. Yeah, except when they're trying to hit a moving target |
|
With 30-40% of the voters deciding in the last 3 days, why in the world would you think a poll should be overly accurate?

9. Not me-- Dem turnout is WAY UP |
|
While the GOP turnout seems to be pretty lackluster.
That alone gives me a lot of hope, regardless of who the candidate is.
