    Well their promotional material is doing a good job at least ;)

        That shows Morning Consults sources are 100% online… which means their ‘likely voter’ claims can’t be validated by their polling methods. All the orange (landline) in that graph is what these ‘likely voter’ polls are talking about, because that method can reliably be used to validate identity and ‘likely voter’ status.

        So I guess +1 for showing Morning Consults is an online poller, not landline, but -10 for thinking online polling isn’t a joke and another -10 for not understanding how ‘likely voters’ are validated.

          I always think it’s funny when people don’t understand statistics and they think poll results are just reported straight up and not weighted for a bunch of factors

            Oh, didn’t realize I was speaking to an expert that understands ‘weighting for a bunch of factors’ ;)

            By all means please explain the methods for maintaining accuracy in online polls.

                Weighting to reflect your population is just basic stats though

                lol- my dude… wish I could share how funny this conversation is with you, but that’s what makes it so funny ;)

                  Sticking your fingers in your ears and refusing to learn doesn’t make it funny, it’s just sad. And using all the basic suggestions after you googled “how do I act condescending on social media” also makes it sad, but you do you bud

                    Seriously- loving this. Tell me about the ‘bunch of factors’ and ‘basic stats’ you’re so knowledgeable about weighting ;) Soon though, 'bout to head out for the day.

      ? You posted a misleading comment and I corrected it. This poll was run by that company, but nobody does simple cold calling on landlines anymore.

        You posted the company’s promo material. You haven’t ‘corrected’ anything.

        I mean feel free to- idk why you’re so hostile but if you have material demonstrating their sources and how they contacted ‘likely voters’ for this survey I’d be interested. But just linking the company’s promotional website and acting like you dropped the mic is just silly.

          You’re accusing me of being hostile? You’re an odd one lol. The “no you’re angry, not me!” trick doesn’t really work on people over 8. I linked to a longer explanation about polling in general, but considering you didn’t want to read the original link, I doubt you’ll read anything else

          Edit: in case you don’t want to click the link again, they primarily rely on online polls, as stated in the material in my original link. That’s why I linked to the website with their methodology?

            I replied to your other comment. I know I’m exciting to talk to but let’s keep it to one chain ;)
