    We post a poll that has Trump ahead and Tony says it's inconsequential and all that matters is the rcp avg.

    Then, like night follows day, when he finds a poll that has Clinton ahead, he posts it like it's the be all and end all of the debate.

    Poor Tony. He thinks he's so smart.

    So what was the necessity of highlighting the recent poll? Which you inevitably reply is meaningless when we do it?

    oh look hillary is a ahead in a Nothing But Crap poll from NBC. They don't let us know who they are skewing it so their poll means nothing.
    LaTimes polls has Trump up by 5.

    NBC polls has a history of accuracy in the 2008 and 2012 elections,LA Times does not.

    Aren't you referring to their final polls? The ones where they change their methodology to be more accurate, according to Silver? So how does the accuracy of those prove anything at all about these?

    The majority of NBC polls had Obama ahead in 2012,while the majority of Rasmussens had Romney ahead.That's how I judge accuracy.

    Is that the way Silver computes the accuracy of polls? Or is your polling expertise better than his?

    America has totally changed guys

    It's woken up. Globalism is dead.

    Democrats still might rig the election and win

    Game is up tho. Cat is out of the bag. Can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.

    Silver is credible and I consider his anyilsis but I don't rely on his anyilsis alone.
