Tony by your standard... stated here over and over... Rasmuessen was the best. It called the the clinton voter margin... Trump may have been winning half the time... it was very close when you unskewed the polls. Inside the margin for error. You are just pointing out how good Rasmuessen was.
When around half thier polls showed Trump would get more votes and he lost by 3 million that is a horrible poll.
Your suggesting that a polling company would be tempted to slant their results in favor of their customer. That won't happen! This is a business where the value of the poll to the customer is directly related to its accuracy. If you want a fake poll result you can arrange for that intentionally, as the Trump organization did by tracking down that guy from Falwell's "university". But the Professionals take great pains to develop sampling methods that will give them the highest accuracy per buck. Their reputation; thus their livelihood depends on it. Funny you should bring that up. Don't be surprised if Mueller uses RICO to bring down Mob Boss Trump. The Boss doesn't dirty his hands, he just ruins the lives of everyone who gets involved with him. Then in Act Three, the Boss himself is lead away in handcuffs. RICO Baby!
Not only have there been articles stating exactly what I said...I believe we read that Hillary purchased results from polling companies like PPP. You don't seem to manifest an understanding there are frequently differences between internal polls and the once produced for public consumption... from the same polling companies. Not since your calling yourself a libertarian have your been more off.
So tell us Tony. Since you have been all over the place... By what standard can all future polls be judges. By picking the winner or by picking the voting margins. By being correct on the last poll or polls before the election or by calling the winner the most often during the season. You do understand that 538 judges the polls accuracy by the last few weeks of polls because they have identified the pattern of herding.
Are you trying to suggest you do? And it would be the internal polls that are intentionally inaccurate by your reasoning. Right. They want to please the Boss. Please jem, don't act stupid. It is not necessary in your case.
The internal polls are the inaccurate ones? No.... Playing the buffoon does not suit you. Even Bernie Sanders said the Clinton team bought polls.
If its a national poll its who most consistently shows who will get the most votes as most polls other than Rasmussen did in 2016 and 2012 and 2018.
So for example in 2016... a poll consistently showing hillary would receive 65 percent of the vote would be judged just as accurate, by you, as a poll who equally consistently had her winning 52 percent of the vote?
I look at who consistantly shows who will get the most votes.Most polls consistantly showed for months Hillary would get more votes,rasmussen did not.
