However, they are the means by which CNN calls their debates. Scootaloo Oct 2015 #49

Not their online poll. They don't use their online polls. hrmjustin Oct 2015 #51

Honestly, would you be saying that if the numbers were reversed? Keep it 100, now! nt ChisolmTrailDem Oct 2015 #6

The same thing. Have you ever seen me tout online polls? No you haven't. hrmjustin Oct 2015 #21

I certainly would. These polls are meaningless. tritsofme Oct 2015 #28
