Sure it is - The USC/LA Times "Poll" uses a subjective methodology based in part on people self-reporting how they voted in the last election. True, it isn't fake in that actual respondents are used, but the manipulation of the data makes it worthless. I agree with HuffPo.
Right, Trump had a few blips where he polled in positive territory against Hillary, but it is statistically insignificant. She has nearly twice the margin that Obama had over Romney, heading for a landslide in November. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <authfriend@...> wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <olliesedwuz@...> wrote : Throw out the fake USC/LA Times "Poll" and her lead jumps to 6.8 points. Well, it isn't a "fake" poll, just a different methodology. HuffPo doesn't include it in their averages, but RCP does (that's the 5.5 spread as of today). Here, HuffPo's pollster explains why he doesn't use it and what it might tell us: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/innovative-interesting-new-poll-not-believable_us_57bb1bc9e4b007f181993144 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/innovative-interesting-new-poll-not-believable_us_57bb1bc9e4b007f181993144 The point is, though, that 5.5 is fine, not a problem; nobody needs to be in "a state of shock." Willytex just wanted to scare the Hillary supporters here who are ignorant about polls. Pure trollish malice. Kind of funny that Trump still thinks he is in the race, and yet has NEVER surpassed Hillary in the polls. He did surpass her in several polls (including CNN/ORC) right after the Republican Convention, but it didn't last. Even throwing the kitchen sink at her, The Donald just can't seem to overcome his utter lack of brains and experience, and a disaster of a campaign - When will Campaign Manager Number Four be announced? A lot of magical thinking going on in his camp, however REALITY happens on November 8th, when Clinton is elected to her first term as president. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <authfriend@...> wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : The Clinton campaign must be in a state of shock today. You mean, because she's up by 5.5? (snicker)
