MSNBC keeps talking about

[triron]

a Bloomberg poll in Florida with Trump +2.

Is this a new poll?

[Doctor Jack]

1. About 4 or 5 days old

And many released just before and just after show clinton around +4

[triron]

3. That's what I thought.

Weird how they keep talking about that one!

[semby2]

2. LOL

They are still talking about that today?

Never watch TV news. Ever.

[Thrill]

4. Poll from Monday

They keep talking about that one poll, and ignore the rest. Clear bias. The only good poll for Trump and all the cable networks have talked about it all week

5. Don't chase individual polls.

Don’t be like journalists who run off after the most extreme report – that is ridiculous. The only honest thing to do is to take a median or average of all the polls you can get your hands on. Right now, the collected wisdom of all the poll is that Hillary Clinton is ahead by a median of 6 percentage points nationally. Not 4 points, and not 8 points. Her lead is 6.0 +/- 0.9 % (n=12 polls over the period October 20-26, median +/- estimated one-sigma standard error).

7. It is recent.

Four way race, polling 10/21 - 10/24 of 953 Likely Voters 3.2 is the margin of error with Trump +2, the same poll with a two way race has Trump +1.

I have a question for you - why do you continue to watch MSNBC?

10. The Bloomberg poll was done by Selzer & Company

fivethirtyeight.com

Oct. 21-24 Selzer & Company gives them an A+ leaves it at Trump +2

The Bloomberg article linked by real clear says it was done by Selzer.

11. Cool! Thanks. I should have dug a little deeper.

[Yonnie3]

12. You are welcome.

I am a bit obsessed with this stuff, polling, statistics, demographics, etc. I am not concerned much about individual polls.

I had looked at 538 first, so I just HAD to find out details of the missing "Bloomberg" poll.
