Iowa poll of peace

[el numero uno]

Some polls in Iowa were so wrong, they were giving Trump an advantage of 10-15 percentage points?   How can they be so off?

Because people lie.  Hope that helps.

Because the candidates that did not have a person standing in every location get screwed in caucus voting, that's why.

AKA Hilldabeast winning 6 coin tosses because older Dem women run the locations.

I would be honored for Getbig's fastest sprinter to use it.

Plus it's probably something I picked up somewhere. Plenty of derogatory names for her out there.

[Tapeworm]

Exactly. The caucus procedure is  different then primary ballot voting and in my opinion, outdated.

LOL, "Hildabeast"    that's a good one and I'm gonna steal it and use it! Ok?

I prefer Broomhildery.

When I saw the whole coin flip thing at that moment everyone in America should have woken up and realized this system is retarded and needs to be burned to the ground and revamped.

Yeah, I see the American people being burned to the ground before the system.
damn shame

Was it really a coin toss?

The news showed people gathered around while a dude flipped a coin and then the majority of the room celebrating the result.

Because it is all a scam. Polling and elections. You cannot trust any numbers. All you have to look at is the policies of the "elected officials" and then go from there with your response. If they don't do what you like or want, then you get out your "pole".

Exactly. There are lots of experts here.

Your vote doesn't count. It never counted.

Its the American government trying to convince the people that their vote matters--that this is a democracy.

Yep, I agree with you on this. I used to believe in that fairy tale. I asked an older guy 15 years ago what he thought of an election and the two candidates and he said it does not really matter who wins. Back then I thought he was foolish and now realize he was much wiser.

NYC/NY is overwhelmingly democrat. Even if I were to vote Republican, it wouldn't matter anyway. But Ive only voted once in my life, and I voted Independent.

But, besides that, your vote doesn't matter. As I have said over the last 6 weeks, Id be shocked if Trump became president. Even the republican party doesn't want him as president--they will find some way to screw with the results to ensure that does not happen.

Polling…The standard for the last several decades for scientific polling was the telephone…the home telephone.

You could tell where the respondents lived and therefore figure out the sampling and make sure it was reflecting the population.

But now, with cell phones it is harder to make a scientific sampling…You can’t tell where they live from the telephone numbers…and people get really angry if you call them on their cell phones and ask, “Who are you voting for?”…not to mention all the associated questions a poll taker has to ask to do it right.
