Supporters of Bernie Sanders are decrying CNN's most recent poll, which apparently measured the voting plans of various Orcs. "Since Orcs rarely vote in U.S. elections, the results from that CNN/ORC poll are not indicative of actual results nor can it accurately predict election results," one staffer from the Sanders campaign said today.
A call from this reporter to CNN headquarters regarding this issue went directly to voice mail and was not returned. "The entire poll raises the question of whether the Orc species is even eligible to vote," the same Sanders staffer said.

(146,317 posts)They may be ugly and violent, but they should have the right to vote. Still, it looks like CNN polled a questionable group, perhaps. Not likely voters, I'm guessing.

(146,317 posts)However, there are no Orcs in my precinct, I'm pretty sure. There's a lot of prejudice against them here.

Pass a simple intelligence test?
I think not...
Wait... does the R in ORC stand for Republican? That was my assumption.

(850 posts)To me, your post comes off as insanely childish, especially given the fact that if you know ANYTHING about stats, you would know ALL of their polls have been BLATANTLY skewed and have horrible age demographic samples for a national poll. You can make all of the jokes you want, but you really need to start looking at the facts. I highly doubt that you are 12 years old, so please, do yourself a favor & stop acting like it.
An 8.5 margin of error is INSANE. they should not put out polls that are riddled with such filth.

(32,886 posts)In next chapter of Sanders-Clinton conspiracy theory, graphic takes aim at CNN's polling operation
By Louis Jacobson on Wednesday, October 21st, 2015 at 4:00 p.m

The reader sent us a post that showed an image of results from a CNN-ORC International poll taken between Oct. 14 and 17. On the image, two columns were circled in red -- two columns of sub-results by age group for a question about how favorably or unfavorably the respondent views Hillary Clinton.
.
.
.
Bottom line: Its all a misunderstanding about how CNN reports the results of its surveys. (After we emailed questions to the person who had posted it on their Facebook page, we didnt receive a response, but the post was pulled down. We saved a screenshot, above.)
The easiest way to debunk the graphics assumption is to look a few columns to the right. There, one can find a heading that reads "under 50," with 74 percent of respondents in that age group saying they feel favorably about Clinton, 23 percent saying they feel unfavorably, 3 percent saying they have no opinion and 1 percent saying theyve never heard of her. (Our real question: Who belongs to the 1 percent who have never heard of Hillary Clinton?)
So this column of poll results clearly shows that people under 50 did tell the survey takers about their opinions about Clinton.
