64/35 on 538 now. Still very good numbers I think, even if it's narrowing. Mainly because I expected it to narrow as the election grew nearer.
I read a psychology piece covering social media a while back. An analogy that stuck out was Facebook is the equivalent of yelling inside an office what you're doing/thinking; Twitter is the equivalent of standing on a major city block during rush hour and yelling what you're doing/thinking. Both are seeking attention but one reflects a higher need for acceptance/approval due to the larger audience sought.Twitter scares me, just throw up a few links when you got a spare min.
I can't tell which ones are worth watching at this point. They are so different.64/35 on 538 now. Still very good numbers I think, even if it's narrowing. Mainly because I expected it to narrow as the election grew nearer.

Yeah, it is difficult. Still, FiveThirtyEight is the poll I've been following for a while now. It's good because it's just an aggregate of all the most reliable polls.I can't tell which ones are worth watching at this point. They are so different.

I get the notion a certain poster has spent an undetermined amount of time viewing and possibly posting within a certain reddit sub.Your red herring about who is funding them doesn't concern me.
What does concern me is that arming the Peshmerga has support from democrats and republicans in the current government, so attempting to call out Hillary for supporting it is a bit silly.

He's acting like a prick of late, not just prickly. Even the fight with Sam was largely him throwing shades.

Linzer commented on this1)Their model doesn't take into account the early voting and 2) there are significantly less state polls this time around than in '12, and what we get are from pollsters of lower renown.
He has been candid about it, but still act like a dick for some reasons. Especially bringing up market odds to defend his model every time.

It's kind of reassuring when you read a piece like this that carefully details the painstaking research they did and you realise that there are still journalists out there working with this level of rigour, in contrast to the talking heads and plain liars on television.Tweet
