    Just because they got elected doesn’t mean we have to take this sitting down. The margin of victory was barely over 1%.

        What does the margin of error of a poll have to do with the outcome of an election? Like, I definitely think he’s got zero political mandate for anything because he barely won (and I think he only even got that because the Democratic party has a bunch of their voters stay home), but I am still pretty convinced that Trump did in fact win the election.

        Yes because a poll is maybe a thousand people. It’s not when you poll millions of people.

          Don’t know much about statistics I’m guessing. That’s more than enough of a sample size to represent a population. That’s why there’s a margin of error in polls.

            I’d hypothesize that the average person doesn’t know much about statistics

            e; better phrasing
