Members JaneAusten Posted May 15, 2020 Members Share Posted May 15, 2020 (edited) its not that the poll is wrong its that the interpretation of using a national poll to show battleground numbers is wrong. Would you base a poll by calling 30 people in a state which is in effect what they did. If you want to assess battleground states you do a battleground state poll not extrapolate information you want from a national poll. That's not how statistics works. That's twisting science to get the answer you want. You do a state poll calling the same number of people in that state with the audience being polled representing a cross section of the state population not a subset of a national poll.

Members marceline Posted May 15, 2020 Members Share Posted May 15, 2020 It's an excellent statement. Biden has handled this very well. At no point has he ever attacked Reade. He's been an open book. He's never once indulged conspiracy theories or pointed out how this was an obvious attempt by the Bernie left to weaponize MeToo in order to drive him from the race. Through this whole thing he has behaved like an innocent man who trusted the facts to come out. Meanwhile... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members reallyhateskateonlost Posted May 15, 2020 Members Share Posted May 15, 2020 Of course there will be a vaccine for Corvid 19 by the end of the year. Just in time for him (Trump) to get re elected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted May 15, 2020 Members Share Posted May 15, 2020 I may sound like a conspiracy theorist but I won't trust any vaccine touted by this administration. They will claim to have found one but it won't work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wendy Posted May 15, 2020 Members Share Posted May 15, 2020 No link as I just heard this on my local news, but I guess Mike Bloomberg is about to begin a media blitz with his deep pockets for Joe Biden. Glad he is keeping his word. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted May 15, 2020 Members Share Posted May 15, 2020 Please be true. I'm not a big fan of our corporate overlords, but if Satan himself offers to finance Biden's campaign, I suggest he take the money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted May 15, 2020 Members Share Posted May 15, 2020 Seems Bloomberg is debating how to distribute the finances versus if . https://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/15/mike-bloomberg-plots-spending-blitz-to-back-joe-biden-campaign.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wendy Posted May 16, 2020 Members Share Posted May 16, 2020 86,000+ dead. Job loss is staggering. And yet we have this: https://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/video/4549740-cnn-poll-president-trump-leads-joe-biden-in-battleground-states/ I...just don't understand this. At all. Sigh. If this POS gets back in, this country deserves to crumble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted May 16, 2020 Members Share Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) This is the same discussion just had above. Follow that discussion. CNN used a national poll and pulled data out of that to determine battleground numbers, That is not how polling works. This is CNN trying to gin polling to show Trump competitive. Just a few days ago there was a poll OF WISCONSIN (Not a national poll where they pulled 30 respondents from Wisconsin out of) showing Wisconsin with Biden having a 2 point lead. Within the margin of error. A 2 point poll with Biden leading is bad enough without CNN trying to use a national poll for battleground states only. That is NOT how polling works but it keeps the media driven horserace narrative going. Edited May 16, 2020 by JaneAusten 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted May 16, 2020 Members Share Posted May 16, 2020 Yes, this thread really needs to get over its addiction to reposting skewed polls and not reading discussion about them. Meanwhile: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Taoboi Posted May 16, 2020 Members Share Posted May 16, 2020 So...if they even think they try to go after Obama...then that voids out the Trump gaslighting that predates the attempt...so people can then throw Trump in jail? So...stalemate? Then you are not the only conspiracy theorist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
