Shall one call it CRUDE, or JAGGED, or SIMPLISTIC, or INACCURATE instead of "bumpy" when describing how RCP POLLS trendline graph looks?

Hey, take that up with G. Elliot Morris. He clearly was speaking colloquially -- i.e. informally -- when he described it as "bumpy"



Here, let me help... this is the definition of coloquially:

colloquially
[colloquially]

ADVERB
in the language of ordinary or familiar conversation; informally.
"the storms hit several states along a corridor colloquially referred to as “tornado alley”"


So, what was the point you were trying to make? That using an informal term in describing how the RCP POLLS tracker looks was "bad"?

Ok.....





If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
