- chrisco255 9y agoI wonder if these polls are as accurate as election polls.
- bshep 9y agoWell I didn't look at the data and i'm sure theres some error in the results. But even if they are off by 20-30% thats still A LOT of people who dont know about PR status, etc. Anecdotally (i know thats not a good example) most people I speak to always ask if needed a visa to more to one of the 50 states, they ask if you need a passport to visit and they ask if you can drive to PR.
- learc83 9y agoThe polls were very accurate at the national level and within a few points at the state level.
- chrisco255 9y agoThe same polls that predicted Hillary would win?
- objectivetruth 9y agoMost national polls reflected a preference for her of a few percent. Her popular vote victory was well within that margin of error. But you already knew about the statistical peculiarity that was the 2016 Electoral College result, so I'm guessing you're repeating this hoping for some alt-right points on HN? Or just to demonstrate that public policy polling and statistics are somehow a big snake oil discipline that you're too intelligent to fall for?
