chakan2Trump edges out Biden 51-42 in head-to-head matchup: POLL
kescusayThe election is more than a year away, the article was about YOUNG people, and Democrats have been massively overperforming in special elections, demonstrating that there’s a polling issue right now.
See you in a year.
I feel like I’m the only one here old enough to have actually voted for Kerry and Clinton. This is how those elections started as well…
Everyone discounted the polls because they were absurd. No way Bush wins, he’s a…uh…special guy. 12 months later, Kerry concedes because he didn’t want to do to America what Trump did.
Just saying kids…history repeats.
ericYou’re definitely not the only one. I remember both of Kerry and Clinton and was quite upset at the time about how blind the dems were to the obvious signs, but this is not enough to become alarmed. It is single poll conducted by phone making it incredibly skewed. And it’s a single poll.
It is single poll conducted by phone
Dunno man…the people that still pick up the phone are still by far the only people that vote consistently.
Another horrible take.
Then, I’m wrong, and this doesn’t turn out like the Hillary election.
Putting your head in the sand with your fingers in your ears won’t make this go away.
lol you act like there’s the only two options- believing this singular poll indicates a trend, or pretending the poll doesn’t exist. However, no one is saying that it doesn’t exist. We just think it uses a singular and questionable collection technique and on its own is not enough data to draw a conclusion.
It’s clear from your initial post that you thought this was a second poll that validated the first, but once you’ve been confronted with the fact that this is another article talking about the same exact poll as the news last week, you haven’t backed down from your trend conclusion.
Let me put it clear as day in case you’ve missed the many other attempts:
ONE POLL IS NOT ENOUGH TO IMPLY A TREND.
Come back when there’s an actual trend, and you’ll find that many, myself included, will be a lot more receptive to that possibility because we are not burying our heads in the sand like you are assuming. It’s just that at this time, there simply is not enough data to draw that conclusion.
