2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumBernie supporters want to have it both ways when it comes to the polls
If a poll comes out showing Hillary beating Bernie in a certain state, then it's meaningless because polls are wrong. We are then promptly reminded of Michigan and Indiana.
But when a poll comes out showing Bernie performing better against Trump than Hillary, that's proof that Bernie is teh awesome.
It's hard to keep up with all this.

(19,821 posts)I dont believe any poll. In 2012 they said Romney was gonna win.
Quinnipiacs poll is not just wrong its garbage. So would a poll that said HRC was winning by 100 points.
ALL polls are crap.

(2,348 posts)At least according to that horribly flawed poll. You would think that, if Bernie is really so much stronger, he would be far and away ahead everywhere. They don't want to face facts that he is at his high water mark, because he hasn't faced an iota of personal attacks, and that his numbers would plummet if he ever got the nomination.

(112 posts)Why do you expect people to treat it as a fair and honest election? We can also thank the corporate media for limiting Bernie's coverage and ignoring Hillary's dishonesty. Trump is not going to hold back.

(12,228 posts)all campaigns are unfair in their enthusiasm to claim the better something or other. The GOP screwed polling and polling has not kept up with professional campaign's internals or non-national elections where the sheer numbers lends an aura of predictability. Nor the technology of finding the samples to being with.
The real issues are the conduct of the campaign, the election and possibly sorting out the trends and litigating the corpses of the primaries.
