Wow a half of a point. There is a rally cry.

Not sure what you are saying, but guessing the election based on polling within a 1/2 point shows that polling is very accurate. I studied stats in college and polling is very accurate.

Curious if you think that exit polls are usually more accurate than opinion polls?

As did I and that is why I know statistics can be fit to your mold of what you want. That does not necessarily mean that they are accurate in the truest sense.

I agree that biased people can make stats say whatever you want. But I will try to say it for the 4th time. Polls have predicted very accurately the last few elections and can be extremely accurate. These polls are unbiased and are simply there to predict elections.

Sigh. Predictions and polls are not dependent upon each other and are often two different things. I could predict the next two super bowl champions that doesn't mean that I am to be relied upon for picks. Are you able to see the questions asked for these polls because that would help out immensely?

The question in the poll is: Who are you voting for President?
That's it. Simple huh? No manipulation. Who are you voting for President and the polls have been accurate.
