    What was unconstitutional about the Muslim ban that wasn't a Muslim ban?

    PEW polled voters. More voters voted for Hillary than for trump. So they were correct.

    They also polled voters by state.

    To pretend Trump's glorious victory wasn't the biggest political upset in our time is to pretend Obama knew how to throw like a man.

    sorry, but pretending trump won the biggest upset is just silly. More americans voted for someone OTHER than trump for the presidency.

    I've been saying the Dems should stick with that winning model.

    90% of Americans think that 1+1 =2.

    Delusional Trump echo chamber:

    That has to he wrong, those same polls said Hillary would win.

    Because polls query facts. Like the fact Hillary would be president.

    Well, considering that Hillary had almost 3,000,000 more votes than Trump, it seems like the polls weren't that far off.

    Same pollsters had her winning the electoral college in a landslide. Instead, she's the one who got buried.

    If only we could write laws that say the murdering thieving raping child molesting "refugees" had to live in your community and off of your resources (and other liberals) then maybe we could have some cooperation.

    Because it would only take about a week before you guys would demand they be removed.

    If only your news actually gave you the facts then you would see what life is like in cities that have taken in "refugees".

    Final Presidential Polls: Clinton Heads Toward Landslide In Electoral College

    http://heavy.com/news/2016/11/hilla...-polls-2016-presidential-battleground-states/

    Many tight races but Emerson predicts a lopsided electoral map, 323-215, for @HillaryClinton vs [MENTION=3512]real[/MENTION]DonaldTrump https://t.co/n8hiCVojtF pic.twitter.com/tgaaZRG2g0

    — ECPS (@EmersonPolling) November 7, 2016

    The FiveThirtyEight.com pollster ratings grade the Emerson College pollsters with a “B,” while finding a “house effect” of 1.3 percentage points in favor of Republican candidates.

    In addition to the final Ohio and Iowa polls, Emerson also released polls on Monday from the battleground states of New Hampshire and Nevada — where Clinton leads Trump by a single percentage point in each state.

    The seven point Trump advantage in Ohio is something of an outlier, in a state where according to Huffington Post Pollster.com no other poll released in November has shown Trump with more than than a three-point lead, except a Quinnipiac poll released November 1 which showed the Republican leading the state by five.

    The Pollster.com average of polls in Ohio sees Trump clinging to slim margin of under one point, 44.2 percent to 43.3 for Clinton.

    In a poll taken on October 30, the Emerson College poll saw a tie in Ohio, so the pollster has seen considerable movement toward Trump in the course of one week.

    Emerson conducted its polls on November 4 and November 5. The Ohio survey covered 900 “likely” voters.

    In battleground states, Emerson College’s final polls predict victory for Clinton in Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.

    In addition to calling the Electoral College race for Clinton, the Emerson College pollsters also see Democrats prevailing in the battle to control the United States Senate — but their victory their will be a far closer call.

    And posters like Andrew Jackson clearly said on this forum just before election if Hillary loses they would never post on this forum again. Here you go. Zero credibility.

    Celebrating? Nope. Just providing the counter balance to the thread touting his 55% rasmussen poll. If you had read the OP instead of angrily mashing reply you'd have caught that.

    Summation of your post...

    Polls are fake!

    Here's my poll proving i'm right!

    My god you trump apologists make this too easy.

    - - - Updated - - -

    All polls are bad. Your poll is bad. This poll supports my bias. My polls are good.

    Got it.

    Who cares what the Gazi (global socialist) propaganda machine says his rating is. They thought Hillary was gunna win in a landslide and Texas was in play. We know from wiki that most of the media is just an arm of the DNC and Pizzagate Podesta gives them instructions on how to conduct their polls.

    You have to acknowledge that a poll of who do they think will win versus how is a sitting president doing are two very different animals. My posting of his low approval numbers are less of me providing a highlight that he's doing bad yet, look at how many people still think he's doing well. That's the surprising part on my end.

    I'll admit, I was fully expecting trump apologists to come in here crying about polls and then post their own poll supporting their bias. I have to say in that respect it's a resounding success. Of course a poll of 1000 to 1500 people is not the end all, be all of opinion.

    You posted another poll that supports your version of things to show that polls are not believable? Perhaps you should come up with another poll that shows polls are unreliable when discussing the viability of polling in general.

    I will say watching you paint yourself into a corner has amused me. Continue please.

    Actually if we average all the polls he has an approval of 45% with a disapproval of 50%.

    I have a feeling trump apologists are going to be using this a lot in the future.

    Ask the judges who blocked it. Or rather, you can read about their decision instead of asking me when that information is freely available to you.

    Perhaps in trump apologist land, asking people to provide you information that is freely available to anyone with an internet connection is considered a viable debate tactic. You addressed none of the substance, merely sat back and said "I don't believe you." Now if in your mind that proves you won something, I'll let you have it like I let a 3 yr old think he's an airplane.

    I agree, especially those that don't understanding of how polls work and how they can be manipulated, not those that have at least a seventh grade understanding of percentages and basic math. Maybe a good example would be all the polls and percentages that convinced the libby's that Hilliary was a done deal ;)

    I responded to your thread, post #1, with SEVEN different items of discussion, my post #41.

    In your response to me, post #55, you addressed ZERO of those items.

    So the logical question is: Why did you respond at all?

    To answer that we examine your post #55, and the one I'm responding to here post #96, and we see that they contain nothing but fact-less pointless ad hominem attacks.

    You couldn't discuss what I had said.

    Why?

    Because you couldn't debate what I had said.

    Why?

    Because what I said was built upon such stark truth that no amount of Leftist fake news and conspiracy theories was going to be able to challenge it.

    But you ...just ...couldn't let it go without commenting, hence the ad hominem attacks.

    So yes, cup, I have won ...a few times, in fact ...and the more you respond the more I continue to win.

    Because you're down there in that hole that you have dug for yourself, still digging ...thinking that's the way out.

    (psssst, the way out is to just stop responding with ad hominem attacks)

    My version of things is that you're a fool to trust polls. But keep believing them, as they haven't let you down yet lol.
