    Do polls underestimate Trumps support?

    Wasn't sure how to word this question. But I am wondering if polls might get a underestimate Trump actual support. So I'll preface this by saying Trump should not be president. I am right wing, but Hillary is the much better candidate. But I don't know that if I walked into a voting booth if I...

    Are online polls legitimate?

    There have been several online polls about the election Many of them say that Trump is beating Hillary by HUGE numbers. One poll gave Hillary only 10%. Are these polls legit at all? How do we know which online polls are legit? In my view the only online polls that are legit are ones that...

    It currently gives Hillary an 80.6% chance at winning. For comparison, they gave Obama a 61.8% chance at reelection in June 2012, and that got up to over 90% by election day. http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/

    Trump Ahead of Clinton

    In a hypothetical match-up, the latest poll shows Trump beating Clinton. Granted it is a Fox poll, and they tend to skew to the right (but the last Fox poll had Clinton winning by 11 points). The latest CNN poll only has Clinton up by 1 point...

    Gallup: NRA more Popular than Obama

    Don't worry, progressives: I'm using a right-wing source, so you can safely ignore the poll results. From The Hill, via JWF: Nearly six in 10 Americans, 58 percent, say they have a favorable view of the NRA, while 35 percent hold an unfavorable one, according to the latest Gallup poll...

    Dishonest Polling and the News Media Plays Along

    I just got one of those political survey calls and I wasn't doing anything so I decided to play along. After a slew of more general questions then came the real reason for the poll: Will these things make you more or less likely to vote for candidate X: She worked across the isle. She...

    How accurate are YouGov polls in the US ? re: Obama's presidential eligibility

    according to a YouGov/Economist poll in May 2014, 31% of the nation and 55% of Republicans believe that B. Obama is not legally eligible to be president. I know there are some crazies in this country, but I cannot believe that more than half of Republicans believe B. Obama is not eligible for...

    Many Americans Can't Name Obama's Religion (Gallup Poll)

    Many Americans Can't Name Obama's Religion (Gallup Poll website) 2% think he's a Roman Catholic? What's up with that? I'd say the man wears so many false faces it's impossible to know what he really believes. After all, his supporters claim (with some credibility) that he doesn't believe...

    Gallup: Political Party Affiliation: 30 States Blue, 4 Red in '09 So Far

    Looks like the Republicans may be in for another rough ride in 2010. The economy is starting to turn around, the shine has really worn off of Sarah Palin's star, and the GOP is making a bunch of asses of themselves with their unruly sabotage of public meetings and kowtowing to the lunacy of...

    A crack in the firewall? Clinton's lead in Lone Star state evaporating?

    The most recent poll in Texas now shows a dead heat between Hillary and Barack. 50-48. While Hillary still has a slim margin, it's thought that she needs more than a slim margin of victory to stop Barack's momentum. RCP's texas polls One other recent poll (ARG) shows a lead for Barack, but it...
