It happened in the UK where large companies and City pumped out bets remain to influence the vote The most conservative statistical model out there that I'm aware of (538 polls-plus) gives Trump worse odds than 5-1.

I've already explained it to you the last time you brought this shit up, Brexit doesn't void polling. It was a one off vote with no precedent and no proper baseline, an issue that is not present in cyclical elections.

You'll find the pollster that came closest to the final result in 2012 was none other than the LA Times.
RCP had an article on it a couple of days ago

You can't explain away a 12 point discrepancy between polling and the final result.Nice sidestep there.Drudge through the UK politics thread i'm sure youll find dozens of claims that brexit will never win.Maybe some of those predictions were even made by you.

One question, what will you guys do if Trump wins the elections ? I'm looking forward to collecting my $20 bet from kwizach.Buy a few beers, some popcorn and watch liberals heads impode online and on television.
You actually put money on the election, in favor of Trump? I could see you wanting Trump to win, but making financial bets (however small they may be) against huge odds like that is pretty ballsy. Did kwiz give you 5 to 1 odds or something?

These Utah polls have got to be the worst yet.
From RCP
Y2 Analytics Weds 12/10/16
Tie
CBS Sunday 16/10/16
Trump +17
So it went from a tie to Trump up by 17 in four days?
Any explanation?

Yes, polls are interesting, but people who can only think through polls are tiring.

Utah is wacky because there's a third party with ~20% of the vote. I'd start looking there.

Do you have a better method for figuring out what the population thinks and predicting who will win?

Could that have something to do with the fact there wasn't a 12 point discrepancy between polling and the result? The highest remain lead in an aggregator the week before the referendum was 4%, most had it at 2%. By comparison, aggregators for the US election right now have it at 5-7% and the polls that those are based on don't have the giant gaping issue that a one off referendum does.
Suggesting that all polling is now void and every election from Brexit forward is some complete mystery is fucking insane even for your standards. Are you aware that there were no exit polls for Brexit, precisely because without a proper beaseline they could have easily gotten and announced the wrong result of the referendum before the count? That exact same issue applied to opinion polling beforehand. So yes, we can explain it, this isn't the magical riddle you thought it was when asking that rhetorical question.

Yes, and the last google consumer surveys poll of Kentucky showed Clinton winning there, and they were the second most accurate pollster in 2012. We can all pick pretty absurd polls to make our points.

It really is a lock. Show me an electoral map where Trump wins, tyty.
Use this tool, post a map where Trump has 270 and we'll look at what he needs to win for that map to be true.

You don't need to predict the winner, it's not a big priority. People have explained this before in the thread, in an election you don't get extra points for choosing the right answer.

Sure.
Except this whole topic chain started because Nettles said "Polls are wrong, Trump will win", so yeah...

Whats insane is the WSJ polls showing Clinton up by 11 and the LA Times poll showing Trump up by one released on the same day.You don't see that? You wonder why so many don't trust the pollsters? Look at the discrepancies...
LA Times were closest to predicting the result in 2012, don't be surprised if theyre right again.

There are a bunch of polls on generic ballot going on right now, average seems to be about +5 democrat. I don't think that's anywhere near close enough to swing the house though.

Nettles is gonna look really dumb on the evening of Nov 8. As is anyone still clinging to the Titanic.
|
As fun as the whole "I'm a prophet and you'll be wrong neener neener" discussion is, can we stop pretending that there's actually a discussion going on?
|
Trumps campaign office in North Carolina firebombed.
Thankfully nobody injured.
Looks like the dems have a few "deplorables" of their own.
