If you know anything about this polling company, they put out tons of polls favoring the Republican candidates .they were completely awful this year and lucked up in 2016 .I bet most of their polls are fake and they dont put any statistical rigor in them .but I find it funny that they put out this poll the day of the election; I still think they were fake and probably took the aggregate of the other polls just to save face and to say they predicted this race correctly.

And therefore, F the polling system.

(16,334 posts)I always wondered who they were polling before. I had at least a dozen polls this time.
I get so much spam on my cell I figured what the hell. I answered every one! I also got messages from both parties asking for support. I was not kind to the Walker texts.
I was thoroughly grilled on whether I was a veteran or not. One of those was more of a survey but also asked about who I was supporting.

(15,278 posts)consistently undersampled in polls. Statistically, these voters run the gamut from conservative to RW. Because Trafalger thinks these voters are undersampled and/or that demographic is underweighted in polls, they correct for that perceived problem. It makes their polls much more favorable to Rs and usually outliers.

(11,256 posts)Flood the zone with garbage polls favoring Republicans for 99% of the year, but then dropping a real poll at the very end so that they could claim to have been accurate.
