Polls vs Social Media
« on: August 07, 2016, 07:34:22 AM »
Can we truly rely on the multitude of polls the media push at us? After, their samples are relatively minuscule. Well, how about the stuff flying across the net? Everywhere I turn, people have their noses in their iPhones, iPads, or whatever. What's going on there?

Facebook

Trump: 10,174,358 Likes
Clinton: 5,385,959 Likes

Twitter

Trump: 10.6 million followers
Hillary: 8.1 million followers

Trump has 30% more Twitter followers — and they translate into real votes. A recent study confirmed that 70% of his followers are real supporters, and 90% of those real followers have a voting history.

Hillary’s “twitter army” is likely made up of dead voters and illegals.

Seems these represent REAL people who will actually vote!

They're both widely hated, and a lot of those likes and follows are opponents lurking or trolling (As well as being from friendfarms or followerfarms), so it's impossible to say what they really mean.

The Press and Pollsters Are Putting Too Much Cornstarch in the Cherry Pie

This article with lots and lots of links (which Shrillarybots will ignore) comes up with an amazing bit of information that is not widely being reported anywhere.

NYT projects that 73,272,595 Republicans will vote this fall in the general election.

    That jaw-dropping number, 7.2 million more potential votes than Barack Obama carried in 2008 and almost 13 million more than Mitt Romney carried in 2012, is the least result achievable when you turn out THE MONSTER VOTE.

It also points out that poll data relying on obsolete sample methodology is going to be significantly inaccurate.

In other words, what I've been claiming all along about ignoring the polls might just be true.
