Not playing

Whatever dude, play dumb.

No. I am 100% serious. I wasn't sure if there were focus groups, etc.

For example if they polled just NY, MA an CA then HRC may be up by 15 pts, right? Where do they poll, how do they do it, etc. Especially now when people hardly answer their phones. Typical Leftist you are. Even when someone is being civil you get defensive and angry.

Progress....

To me, this:

No one polled me? I wonder sometimes how these polls get their data.

has a ton of subtext. Maybe you didn't mean it that way, but it seems like you did.

Pollsters make phone calls. They do it nation-wide to get an accurate sample (which isn't 32 or 100 like someone argued before)

Yeah, but people screen now? No? Do you screen?

I am genuinely curious. I never answer the home phone for example unless I recognize the #.

Obviously, some people pick up.

You have a home number?

Yeah. My wife wants it for emergencies, etc. I literally never use it. I have a home cell and work cell and that is enough for me.

No but a lot of polls include mobile now.

Most political polls are run by either a campaign or by a State party. (The national party polling is almost always hired out to large polling firms).
The polls that aren't national are run OFF the party's registered voting lists. Thus when you get polled it is because, at one time, you were registered as "something". The parties are allowed (in most states) to obtain (for a fee, usually) those "lists". Often the "lists" are horridly outdated or wrong.

Here in AZ we have an active Rep. primary campaign going on for Flake's seat. 3 different Republicans (McSally the Trump worshipper, Dr. Kelli (Chem-Trail) Ward, and convicted Felon and former Maricopa County Sheriff, Pink Prison underwear eighty zillion year old Joe (I can get the truth on Obama's birthplace) Arpaio. Somehow they think I'm a republican. I am deplorable, but not THAT deplorable.......... anyway I've been "surveyed" several times already. I always feed em a line of BS. Tell em I support Sheriff Joe and I want him to go lock EVERYBODY he can find up. Permanently. And whichever color he wants to start with is fine with me......as his Naziism is very thinly disguised I kinda figure us rural whitey's are safe with him.

OK.

I am registered as an Independent so it makes sense that no one ever calls me. LOL. Sheriff Joe is still alive?!?!?! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?

Shame on bob for making a mockery of b_l's precious polls.
It's people like that who made him look so ridiculously stupid at Election time. (He's done it pretty much on his own before and after that.)

Ha ha

I just don't trust them because in this day and age I think it is a lot more difficult to attain an accurate sample.

According to you, only 32 people are need for an accurate sample.

32 is the minimum not necessarily enough of a sample when conducting with 120mil voters. Are you trying to be funny again? Should you not be busy trying to prove how Russia cost HRC the presidency, LOL, when the report you sited specifically stated it did not impact the election results? Or maybe you should continue your drivel on how Ben Shapiro is an idiot, only to later retract that comment. Or how Jason Whitlock is an idiot because he doesn't share you political views. Or how the Orthodox Jew, Ben Shapiro is a white supremacist. Or how Brad Radke and Catfish Hunter are the same guy. Or how one can just identify to being a woman to actually be called a woman. Or how you insulted my kids when I never said a thing about your family.

You know the old saying of those in glass houses should not throw stones? Maybe you should look in the mirror and then see if you like what you see.

Difference between you and me is that what I type I would state to someone in person. You would not. Why? Because you are a keyboard warrior leftist.

Jason Whitlock is an idiot.
