    But under what factual basis are you discarding a 900 person sample size?

    I dont remember polls insisting Clinton would win, I remember dumb people saying thats what polls said, and your source makes me not feel shifted in that opinion.

    A 3% margin on a poll in no way is declaring total victory to anybody.

    Many of the polls you just shared have a 1% difference in support rate.

    So you think a 1% better polling rate is " declared total victory for Clinton" but feel confident in discarding a 900 person sample?

    If there was 10k people in the polls ypu are referencing, you are using 900 people as proof of absolute victory lol.

      i dont know what point of mine youre arguing against

      i dont trust political polls in general, and as far as political polls go this one is on the lower end. all i did was make comparisons to other (larger) polls that did not manage to capture the true distribution of voter intent
