| Dogs Rule said: EDIT Screw polls. (beat Stof to it) http://vgchartz.com/forum/post.php?id=1213844 EDIT (felt bad for not contributing) Expects polls to go up and down on both sides of the border as sheep poll followers change who they plan to vote for based on the latest polls. They just serve the purpose of filling time in 24 hour news networks with something easy to talk about (no need to do actual journalism). |
There are other reasons why such a large focus on polling data is (primarily) meaningless ... With the way the electoral college works an individual can become president with around 25% of the popular vote (less if you include third party candidates) and, when you factor in margin of error, enough states are so close that either candidate could win.
