In contrast to other polls, national surveys conducted by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner for Democracy Corps consistently showed Obama with a lead in the last few weeks before the election.

Our final poll (completed two days before Election Day) showed the race 49 to 45 percent – for an unrounded margin of 3.8 points. With other public polls still showing the race tied or Romney ahead, we knew someone had to be wrong. But we believed in our turnout model and our industry-leading methodology. As of this writing, the margin is 3.6 points and inching up – a remarkable achievement of accuracy.

12. Mean-reverted bias
Tue Oct 25, 2016, 05:33 PM
Oct 2016

A pollster’s historical average statistical bias toward Democratic or Republican candidates, reverted to a mean of zero based on the number of polls in the database.

It now has the 2nd highest Dem bias out of all polls listed.






I am not saying this poll could not be accurate, but that inherent bias is now baked in the cake.

... unless they have a tendency to poll tight races.

I'm at least happy that they almost nailed the 2012 Presidential results!

I won't be convinced that the election is won until she wins on Election Day.

But love seeing Hillary above 50%.

My brother in law posted on fb that Hillary is gay along with killing everyone in Bengassi, his spelling. He's not well. Probably his last presidential election.
