He was 8 points ahead in a national poll of likely voters with a representative sample when asked who they would be more likely to vote for. I don't have specifics besides the 8 pt. lead because I'm not on the analysis side of things and the results weren't published. And I agree, phone polling is fairly limited as far as outcome prediction goes. Part of the reason they didn't publish is because they thought it was a fluke.
- ubernostrum 10y agoSo, did he end up with an 8-percentage-point national popular-vote lead? If not, seems the poll was inaccurate.
- mrlatinos 10y agoMy original comment wasn't to prove the accuracy of the polling, rather, to show the bias of the media when reporting poll results. While the poll may have been innacurate,so were many of the polls that put Clinton ahead that they decided to publish.
- ubernostrum 10y agoOK. I have a poll that shows Clinton led by 500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 percentage points and actually received more electoral votes than there are electrons in the universe. Will you publish it? If not, will you allow me to call you biased?
