General Chit-Chat Thread: A New Beginning

[Jacob Fox]

When it comes to polls, there's four questions to be asked: Who's asking, Who was asked, How many answered, and how many exactly of that percebtage are you displaying?

the average margin of error has been plus or minus 6 for the most of the polls

So the ground feeling along with the work of the candidates and their teams can make a difference

I might buy some real american beer if trump loses

For example there was an alleged poll that stated that 39% of Gen Z men think positively of Donald Trump. Okay, so how many answered the poll exactly, and how many of that percentage actually answered that question? Was it 39, 390, or 3900? It makes a huge difference.

 

[Jacob Fox]

It also depends upon the pollsters

 

[Jacob Fox]

some of them are biased and do not use random selection the way they should

 

[Jacob Fox]

they poll conservative areas rather than general areas

 

[Jacob Fox]

democrats do it too, just to get that out there

 

[Barry Poppins]

Yeah a lot of polls are not generally helpful unless they are for single specific issues.

 

[Barry Poppins]

"Do you support capital punishment." "Do you support pro-choice." "Do you support legalized Marijuana".

 

[Just Juice]

polls are very useless

 

[Just Juice]

because there is no middle ground answers

 

[Barry Poppins]

[Jacob Fox]
