There was an article earlier about people smoking crack if they thing Trump is up 10 points.
Well…he's up 10 points. The Democrats need to do something fairly drastic soon if they want to win 24.
Dunno man…the people that still pick up the phone are still by far the only people that vote consistently.
Another horrible take.
Then, I'm wrong, and this doesn't turn out like the Hillary election.
Putting your head in the sand with your fingers in your ears won't make this go away.
lol you act like there’s only two options - believing this singular poll indicates a trend, or pretending the poll doesn’t exist. However, no one is saying that it doesn’t exist. We just think it uses a singular and questionable collection technique and on its own is not enough data to draw a conclusion.
It’s clear from your initial post that you thought this was a second poll that validated the first, but once you’ve been confronted with the fact that this is another article talking about the same exact poll as the news last week, you haven’t backed down from your trend conclusion.
Let me put it clear as day in case you’ve missed the many other attempts:
ONE POLL IS NOT ENOUGH TO IMPLY A TREND.
Come back when there’s an actual trend, and you’ll find that many, myself included, will be a lot more receptive to that possibility because we are not burying our heads in the sand like you are assuming. It’s just that at this time, there simply is not enough data to draw that conclusion.
