I thought it was over for Trump but he is at 50% Approval

First of all jem ceased posting here.

Sure he has jem

So wait now you wish to judge polls on whether they picked the winner as you said for years?
Or, are you saying the winner does not matter like you have been saying since all your favorite polls failed by that standard in 2016.
.

I should have specifed popular vote since thats what Rasmussen polls for.Most of thier 2012 polls showed Romney would get more votes than Obama...he lost by 5 million

They are even worse now saying republicans would get more votes in the midterm and Trump had a 36% black approval rating.

Second... we can only judge polls accurately when they reveal their samples and we see they conform to recent election turnouts.
Rasmussen is hiding their cross tab behind a platinum membership... so we don't know whether they are good poll or not right now.

Jem aka tjustice said Rasmussen was a jem honest poll

 

[TJustice]

you are an idiot....

i just checked the history... even when you were ak forty seven you were being a douche about this stuff with jem.

You were told a long time ago that a poll must reveal its template and it must have a reasonable template to be an honest poll.

Polls change, the standards have not.

you are an idiot....

Coming from a birther who thinks 50% of Americans approve of Trump because of a Rasmussen poll.

Polls change the standards have not.

Tjustice aka jem said Rasmussen was a jem honest poll.Is Rasmussen no longer an honest poll?If not why start a thread based on the results of a dishonest poll?

 

[TJustice]

Once again you manifest the logic of your average democrat.

Not meeting the standard does mean a dishonest poll.
In this case it simply means we can't judge its honesty until we see the template.
I am saying we don't have facts to say rasmuesen is dishonest They say they reveal their crosstabs... we just don't have them.

Note.. I am not speaking for jem. perhaps he found other polls dishonest.

You started a thread about Trump having a 50% approval rating based on a poll you wont judge as honest.Previously you said that same poll was honest though

More likely to reflect a change in public opinion rather than a change in polling methods or "template". Interestingly, if you average all the professional poll results using the last poll results reported just before the election, they were right on the money within the margin of error. The professional polls were amazingly accurate once again!

Polls are meant to drive public opinion, not measure it. Perhaps the polls just before the election were accurate because they couldnt afford to be too wrong. Did public opinion remarkably change two days before the election. I highly doubt it. The polls were meant to say that Trump was going to lose, so dont bother voting if you are a Trump supporter, because he is going to lose. They are bullshit and I dont trust them one bit.

Of course not. It changed over the course of the campaign.
