A request: If you see polls favorable to the Right, DON'T POST THEM HERE. [View all] Ken Burch Nov 2016 OP

I wonder why so many low count posters keep doing that? Happyhippychick Nov 2016 #1

Is there a way to alert on them for that? Ken Burch Nov 2016 #5

I don't think so. I think we can just let the host know. Happyhippychick Nov 2016 #6

How is that done...never had the need before...the 'concerned' are so irritating Demsrule86 Nov 2016 #9

I've never done it either. I'll look into it and see if I can figure it out. Happyhippychick Nov 2016 #11

The hosts can't remove posts. Only juries can do that. yardwork Nov 2016 #65

How about questionable polls showing a Clinton lead? brooklynite Nov 2016 #31

Understanding that victory is not assured is not "demoralizing." pat_k Nov 2016 #32

Show me using the electoral college with current numbers how Trump wins... Demsrule86 Nov 2016 #38

fivethirtyeight.com chances of Clinton win = 68% (which does not equal 100%) pat_k Nov 2016 #55

The OP means (as they said) from "questionable polling agencies" Like Remington Research, Rasmussen, Grey Lemercier Nov 2016 #67

Bullshit, nate and upshot use some of those polls, this is a silly argument. N/t ScienceIsGood Nov 2016 #85

Bullshit right back at you, Remington Research and Grey Lemercier Nov 2016 #87

Rasmussen is factored in by many legit sites? So you think Nate is a troll? LOL! ScienceIsGood Nov 2016 #90
