Speaking of screwed up polling...

You know what...??

After reading these numbers I am still convinced they are not being truthful or accurate.

Look at this snippet for example...

'The poll had a sampling error of plus-or-minus 5 percentage points.'

Never in my life have I seen a PROFFESSIONAL POLL with such a margin of plus or minus.

Not in my early childhood in the 70's not in the 80s, not in the 90's.

I do not know if it was just my parents but I was taught to look specifically for plus and minus values right off. I NEVER look at a poll without looking for it. I am telling you I can not remember EVER seeing anything so off.

FIVE PERCENTAGE POINTS IS A HUGE GAP. Enough to swing a majority or cover a slide. I was taught 3 p/m points was risky.

SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THESE POLL NUMBERS.

If they can rig elections... WHY not polls..?
