Trump is leading in both of the polls out today. General Election: Trump vs. Clinton LA Times/USC Tracking Clinton 43, Trump 45 Trump +2 Georgia: Trump vs. Clinton vs. Johnson WSB-TV/Landmark Trump 47, Clinton 43, Johnson 6 Trump +4
Thats not good.La Times usually has Trump up around + 5. Trump should be up much higher than + 4 in Georgia.Romney won it by + 8.
Huff Post most recent polls.Seems they leave out that ridiculous LA Times poll and I don't see the worst pollster of 2012 Rasmussen either. http://elections.huffingtonpost.com/pollster/2016-general-election-trump-vs-clinton
now... reveal the ration of D vs R vs I for those polls. arg... did not reveal McClatchy plus 7 or 8 for Dems NBC... always a crap poll the only real poll is Reuters and it slanted to hillary too.
The 2 polls you called best in 2012(the jem honest polls Rasmussen and Gallup) were the worst 2 RCP polls of the 2012 election having Romney ahead more than any other RCP polls.With all due respect I remain skeptical of your ability to tell good polls from bad ones. Who are the jem honest polls for 2016?
1. polls that don't reveal their templates are crap polls 2. polls that slant more than Obama won by are crap polls - so if they tally more than 4 democrats they become increasing crappy skewed polls 3. polls that manipulate their internal samples are also crap polls. that is harder to detect. honest polls use honest templates. Ones that match how voters voted 2 years ago or 4 years ago. Bases on the recent results I would say the honest templates are the ones for the 4 years both for Presidential elections and the off years. Its pretty straight forward. There really is no good reason to argue with the logic of using the 4 year ago election results as your template. Sure things might e different in this election.. but no one really knows that ahead of time. Now you could create models that take in other factors... like nates... polls plus. But if you calling winners based on other factors or changing factors let the readers know ahead of time. Don't say Trump has no chance, then say later oh whoops we did not follow polls or our models. (that shows a lack of credibility.)
But most of the polls you call crap had Obama ahead in most of their polls in 2012.The polls you called honest had Romney ahead in most of their polls in 2012.I would think the polls that had Romney ahead in most of their polls in 2012 or the current polls that have Trump ahead while 7 others have Hillary ahead are the dishonest ones. Who are the jem honest polls for 2016?
