    Yet, the USC methodology did better than the 538 polling averages in 2012. The problem with averages is that a preponderance of Hillary biased polls will give you a Hillary biased average; and I think that's what's going on this year. Yeah, the RCP average mitigates the bias some, but not enough in my opinion.

    I think voter fraud is an issue but Trump is up too much to have that be an issue at this point..

    I think voter fraud can only keep traditional blue states blue........... But the funny thing is that I think democrats are so comfortable that they will win these blue states that they have them as a lock and that would be a massive mistake in this election.

    Look, only progressive SJW's are supporting Hillary at this point.... You better pray there are more SJW's than Trump supporters (there isn't BTW)...

    Many democrats are libertarian leaning and they're supporting Trump, oh and then you have the alienated Sanders supporters that are supporting Trump but otherwise would have voted Hillary had she not stolen the nomination...

    The funniest out of all of this is that I think Sanders maybe could have beat Trump - Hillary has no chance.

    If it even matters straw polls have Trump at like 70% - yeah I realize in theory people can rig straw polls easily but I don't see many causal Trump supporters trying to rig polls - half aren't even into politics and the other half would find it a waste of time to vote 2,000 times.

    I will say this much tho - I trust straw polls over these polls done by polling agencies.

    Hillary supporters and/or 'never Trumpers' typically get nasty like this when they can't come up is a rational rebuttal.

    I never said that..... I said 30% are republicans and 30% are democrats - well for loyal party voters and the other 40% is what matters. Also, it's that 40% that are overwhelmingly supporting Trump or NOT Hillary. You can bet that 90% of "independents" are NOT going to vote Hillary.

    I have never met or even seen ANYONE supporting Hillary - I have seen plenty of Trump supporters but no one that actually supports Hillary and that matters..

    The notion that Hillary can win with little support is stupid.

    When you make outrageously dumb comments, expect those kind of comments in return. If you guys made educated comments, you'd get better responses. His post was one of the dumber things I've seen posted on this site and that is saying something. Lmao. But you wouldn't understand, you're a Trump supporter.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Now you're just making up numbers, lol. Trust me, you fail miserably at math. It is absolutely embarrassing. There's a reason you're a Trump supporter. My only suggestion is that you please don't vote or reproduce. Nothing good can come out of that, lol.

    For a scientific analysis of the bias of polls look here

    http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/pollster-ratings/

    You will find that in the top ten polls that RCP uses the bias is split pretty evenly between R and D.

    But hey that's just science....some people say hillary can't win because they polled their friends. LOL

    So...I see...Any comment YOU personally disagree with is 'dumb?' That kind of retort seems pretty childish to me.

    Polls are meaningless....except of course....When YOUR candidate is polling favorably.

    His comment was unusually dumb, even for a Trump supporter. There was no reason to retort in any way other than to make fun of it, lol.

    Their level of spin to avoid the truth is downright hilarious. Now polls where they ask people who they are voting for is meaningless in an election that depends on who people vote for, lol. Gotta love Trump supporters still clinging on to some hope though. It just will make it more fun on election day when Hillary cleans house.

    Now you're scared by the truth.

    How many Hillary supporters do you know? keep in mind I said "supporters" not those that hate Trump and are voting second party or perhaps in the rare case for Hillary????

    Not many...

    You see, I'm breaking down numbers and demographics and you're promoting polls that sample 1,000 people - not only that but sample 7% more democrats than republicans and you're calling my break down wrong?

    Yeah, I don't doubt your glaring partisan politics - you're one of the "hardcore" that fits into that 30% democrat...... When I was polling I got your ilk all the time... "I'm a registered democrat and will never vote republican" ..... That was a common response I got with 30% of those I polled.... A little OT but I never got that from republicans.... Then you have the 40% of voters that aren't republican or democrat and most lean libertarian. However the thing is - democrats don't appeal to most people that lean libertarian - they did in the past but not now..... They don't like the fascist SJW nonsense.

    Look, Hillary is going to lose because she doesn't have many supporters and Trump has MANY..... This election will be decided by the "independents" and they're more on Trumps side than Hillary...

    It's really that simple.

    Really? When did you hear that? You certainly didn't hear it from me. Please prove your point by quoting pro-Hillary posters on this site and show how any significant fraction of them said the polls were inaccurate back before the first debate, when Trump was at his peak. I'll wait.

    There you go again...It is becoming painfully obvious that you CAN'T respond in a mature manner. All you do is call anything you disagree with 'dumb'....Typical of a Hillaryite.

    Like I said, when you say something as stupid as that poster said, it does not deserve a credible response because it's clearly an attempt to troll or the guy is just so mentally challenged that there's nothing to say other than make a joke about it. I'm not sure what else I can tell ya, lol.

    Media Matters for one...They are out trashing polls that show Trump winning.

    "Online Polls Are “Garbage,” But Fox News Still Cites Them"

    Post-Debate Polls Trump Referenced Are “Garbage” And “Not Representative Of Likely Voters”

    http://mediamatters.org/research/20...-are-garbage-fox-news-still-cites-them/213376

    The Hillary dunderheads probably don't realize that Media Matters is in the tank for Hillary.

    I'll let this guy explain it from an apparent "independent" perspective.


    Look at this guy - now tell me Hillary isn't in trouble. Does this guy appear to be your typical republican "Trump supporter" I think not - look at his shirt.. lol....

    Every independent has been saying the same thing.

    Obviously, the vast amount of voters DON'T CARE.

    There are a lot of mindless lunatics on YouTube.

    Uh... they're talking about non-scientific online "snap" polls. Those are garbage.

    We're not talking about those. We're talking about post-election polls that use scientific sampling.
