In reply to the discussion: Warren, Sanders beat Hillary in poll of DFA members [View all]aspirant
(3,533 posts)I'm going thru each of your polls. Preliminary results;
1) Your Millennials polls are from 2 sources, Fusion TV and Reason-Rube polling
a) Fusion tv is a 1 YEAR OLD COMPANY catering to the English speaking Hispanics, doesn't sound like an all-encompassing TV poll to me, more like DFA. DfA had 164,733 voters, how many did Fusion have?
b)Reason-rube is a self-defined right wing libertarian group. I give about as much credence to that poll as Fox News polls.
"A social science with strict rules about sample size, random selection of participates and margins of error" Did you forget the variability in polls? How can 4 polls on the same issue has different results and still be called a science. The Turtle's national polling was too close to call on Nov 3 and turned out to be a 15% blowout. If the national polls are so precise, why do lots of politicians waste their money on secret internal polls? Could how the questions are asked play any role in the outcome?
Now to denying. "online poll for DFA members" stated plainly in my posts." e-mailed DfA members telling them to vote for Warren"; I used that in my arguments. "Hillary leads among Liberals" ;not in the DFA poll.
