Here we go with the polls already

You know how I feel about most polls, but this one I kinda like.

Andrew Yang ahead of Elizabeth Warren? Hate to tell ya Liz but I think you might want to put your weight behind another candidate (not that that would help the dems much). LOL

Not related to the link, but related to your view on polls - have you ever considered actually learning about the science of polling before casting judgement on it?

Thank you for asking Mjl. I found a link that helps explain why they are not scientific. These are tried and true methods but they are far more art than science.

So, what is a scientific poll? First, it is a misnomer. There is nothing scientific about a poll. (More on that later.) Second, it is conducted using sound statistical techniques.

I remember when John Glenn CRUSHED Reagan.

Those were good times.

And, probably a more accurate prediction, if you're a betting man.

“At least that number of Republicans and conservatives can’t be happy that Trump is squandering his presidency and basing his reelection, so far, on a campaign of grievances instead of policies,” he said. “But given Trump has no real vision for the country, beyond what’s in it for him, and no capacity to bring about change in a constitutional republic by working well with others, his only real choice is to run as a weak, pathetic victim. Only the brainwashed or dead would cast their lots with him.”

Hey, haven’t you guys heard? Both parties working together for the good of our country. No more Trump hate, just ask Nancy and Chuck, they had a great meeting with Trump today, with more to follow.
