You are only looking at the final poll birther jem.Look at all the polls the from the time they got the nominations and see which polls showed trump would get the most votes the most. Rasmussen likes to fall in line at the end but for months in many of their polls it showed trump getting more votes far more than other polls.
Gallup wasn't polling for the electoral college.Its a national poll that represents the popular vote. Gallup consistently showed Hillary would get more votes,far more than Rasmussen did in thier polls.
Tony wrote this... "Trump has to do much better than be tied or even a small lead in the polls to actually be ahead because of the huge democrat edge in the electoral college and large minority populations in swing states.Remember Obama only won by 4 points in the popular vote but won by 126 in the electoral college.Trump could be ahead by 4 points in the popular vote and RCP average but still and likely be down in the electoral college." https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...-without-the-algo.301548/page-17#post-4326132
Suggestion: please send Gallup a copy of the 12th Amendment. Of course they’re going to tell their paid subscribers that they nailed the popular vote within the margin of error. Doesn’t cool the savage burn felt by the thousands of pundits and news desks worldwide. Dude, you can make data say anything you want. By your logic - everyone who bought those AAA rated mortgage bonds in 2007 is sitting pretty - Standard and Poors and Moody’s says so.
Tony's citations for picks on the Electoral College. There are a few in there when you open up the quote.
You and your team were wrong the entire time. Many, many months. The only one on your team who was right was Nate Silver in a partial manner. His modeling was great. But he was taken in garbage data.
Now you’re just being argumentative for no good reason - and defending the indefensible. Might I suggest you don’t make excuses for Gallup and the 2016 General Election. All of Gallup’s paid subscribers relied upon them to project the Presidential race. If you’re going to claim otherwise I call BullShit.
