And from your posts, I know for a fact that your knowledge of math does not exceed mine. And the last statistics class I took was a 200 class, not a 100 class. The sample size they use is enough for accuracy with an error margin of 3%. And when you consider the number of polls, their average is a very accurate indicator of the present voting intentions.So, you are totally ignorant of statistics. Not surprising. By the way, how did the polls work out in 2012? Seems the skewed polls were far more accurate than the unskewed polls. Or are you still celebrating Romney's landslide victory? LOLsaid another way, any poll you don't like is bullshit with a tiny sample size________________LOL, you are such a moron.
The poll averages are not tiny sample sizes.
1000 out of 330,000,000 ? really?
you defeat your own claim by bring up the 2012 polls. many of them were wrong.
I am quite sure that my knowledge of math and statistics exceeds yours by a wide margin.
A sample of 1000 out of a population of 330,000,000 is not statistically meaningful. I suggest that you check out a stat 101 text from your local library and read about sampling techniques.
I understand that the pollsters guess right more than they guess wrong, and I understand their claims that they structure their tiny samples to proportionally represent every demographic in the USA----------------I understand that much better than you do. But its bullshit from a mathematical standpoint.
If Peoples Pundit Daily says it....it must be true
Redfish says that the only purpose of polls is to influence public opinion. In the Pundit case, he might be right lol.
[
for a truly random sample to have any statistical significance it needs to be at least 5% of the population.

could be. it seems to be working.
as usual, your assertion is false and baseless.And from your posts, I know for a fact that your knowledge of math does not exceed mine.

I understand how the pollsters claim to get around that and I understand that they are right more than they are wrong. The question is: are they right because they accurately tested public opinion, or are they right because they effectively changed public opinion.
You are free to believe whatever you want, I really don't care what you believe.
Another poll goes South for HIllary:
U.S. Presidential Election Daily Tracking Poll | People's Pundit Daily
Why do you think this poll is more accurate than the realclear poll average?
polls can be made to give any answer the person taking the poll wants----or is paid to get.
Trump is filling arenas, doing press conferences, and meeing thousands of people every day. Hillary is hiding, doing scripted "rallys" of 500 people, and trying to hide the truth about her health and her criminal activity as SecState.
the poll that matters will be taken on election day, and Trump will win that one------book it.
Who is paying the Foxnews poll to show Clinton ahead by 6?
Meghan Kelley? Shep Smith? there are plenty of Trump haters on Fox.
any poll with 1000 or so opinions is moot. Look at the electoral map and get a better idea of the attitude of entire State .
On second thought dont look ... allow me,
Trump is fucked.

1000 out of 330,000,000 ? really?
First of all, the polling pool is not 330 million. Second of all a 1000 person sample of 100,000,000 people will yield a confidence level of 95% at a margin of error of +-3

I try not to respond to foolish posts. The sample size is the US population, its around 330 million. 1000 out of 100,000,000 is not a valid sample size. 5% would be 5,000,000. 1% would be 1,000,000. 1000 is .001%.
you are buying the pollster hype.

So Kelly and Smith paid TWO outside polling operations, who do the Foxnews polling, to commit FRAUD in the polling in order to show Clinton ahead?

Yes. I want you to prove what you claimed. If you can't, then I can simply refute you by saying you're wrong.

you are questioning their motives, not me. I am only saying that polls are being used to influence public opinion. If you cannot see that, fine. I really don't care.

So you're saying that if you randomly select 1000 Americans out of 100,000,000, to determine the racial makeu p of the US,
that poll would be just as likely to find that America is 100% Asian as to find that America is a mixture of white, black, Asian, etc.
That's insane.

Using a poll to influence the public IS a motive you idiot.
