You know the cool thing about polls? HerbChestnut Jan 2020 #10

you can't seriously compare a poll in late jan 2020 to sept 2019......... getagrip_already Jan 2020 #13

Oh okay. You know people. HerbChestnut Jan 2020 #17

Biden's delegate count jumped by 100 on 538 in the last day. Sanders is down Thekaspervote Jan 2020 #18

And yet, not a single vote has been cast. HerbChestnut Jan 2020 #20

It's a educated prediction!! Nothing wrong with that Thekaspervote Jan 2020 #24

Umm, unless you want to see how things changed between Jan 2020 and Sept 2019. DanTex Jan 2020 #19

"Surge" clearly means swings of 18 points or more... DanTex Jan 2020 #11

Whoa!! HerbChestnut Jan 2020 #2

Biden with an average lead in Texas of 12 points at RCP and 7 points at 538. highplainsdem Jan 2020 #4

No doubt, those particular polls will be either ignored or called "an attack" LanternWaste Jan 2020 #6

It is an unrated poll and shows very different results than the others listed. Thekaspervote Jan 2020 #14

Yep, it does. I wonder if Sanders in the end will be viable in Texas unless the Rogan dudes Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #21

No, they wont BrooklynJet2020 Jan 2020 #9

Yep, and watch Sander will lose more support. He will get kill in the South with his limited AA Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #22

Texas is not polled frequently. Tiggeroshii Jan 2020 #15

Texas is not like California. Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #23

Exactly Thekaspervote Jan 2020 #25

Racially I think they are similar Tiggeroshii Jan 2020 #26

I can't argue with that...but politically I think they are quite different. Although Texas is Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #27

I feel like they are a few seats out from flipping Tiggeroshii Jan 2020 #30

Polls are not perfect...the 2016 election demonstrated that...It sounds reasonable to me...your Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #31

Not that close. TexasTowelie Jan 2020 #33
