Says the guy that doesn't understand statistics

Always love when people say the dumbest shit about statistics super confidently. 2,335 is a significantly larger sample size than you'd need to draw accurate enough conclusions

Not disagreeing, but it would not have taken much effort to copy/paste into the body:

Methodology: The poll surveyed 2,335 adults between Sept. 5-8 and has a margin of error of ±2.7 points.

Of course everyone should read the article but some people don't.

The pollsters told us Hillary was definitely gonna win. Campaigns increasingly have pollsters that create "third party" data that makes them look good. I don't care what's kosher in a statistics course, we're seeing these polls because someone is paying a lot to make it all happen.

No they didn't. They showed it was more likely Hillary would win, not guaranteed.

And she did win the popular vote.
