But under what factual basis are you discarding a 900 person sample size?
I dont remember polls insisting Clinton would win, I remember dumb people saying thats what polls said, and your source makes me not feel shifted in that opinion.
A 3% margin on a poll in no way is declaring total victory to anybody.
Many of the polls you just shared have a 1% difference in support rate.
So you think a 1% better polling rate is " declared total victory for Clinton" but feel confident in discarding a 900 person sample?
If there was 10k people in the polls ypu are referencing, you are using 900 people as proof of absolute victory lol.
i dont know what point of mine youre arguing against
i dont trust political polls in general, and as far as political polls go this one is on the lower end. all i did was make comparisons to other (larger) polls that did not manage to capture the true distribution of voter intent
Did you seriously make claims about poll data without checking your source?
i dont know what you're talking about.
I just want to chime in and say I don't disagree with you. Your tone wasn't dismissive or condescending at all and the disparaging comments replying to you are pretty rude.
I've only been around Lemmy a short time so my sample size is quite small too, but I've seen a lot of rude condescending pricks around here so far. There's all these threads talk about a great lemmy is and how much better than Reddit it is but I'm just seeing a bunch of assholes so far tbh. That doesn't have anything to do with this post or thread, just venting.
Try reading the link you shared and reading your comment bright guy.
Why are you so aggressive and condescending? Bring it in will you, you're making lemmy a toxic shithole like Reddit and this community is like five seconds old.
The irony.
His bad faith "i don't know what I said" shtick is just as shitty as your play the victim bullshit.
