     The USA Today poll oversampled GOP and undersampled - Spanky KU - 11/8 10:26:29
          So polls can't be trusted.(nm) - TigerMatt KC - 11/8 11:20:31
               If one understands the sample plan demographics - Spanky KU - 11/8 12:21:15
          lol (nm) - pickle MU - 11/8 11:03:42
     I believe polls are useful for setting policy, not so much - hokie VT - 11/8 10:21:53
          they’re fake news and purposefully manipulative - pickle MU - 11/8 11:03:19

                              Due to sampling bias that are pointed out continuously - Spanky KU - 11/8 10:58:10
                                   So why trust polls?(nm) - TigerMatt KC - 11/8 11:00:42
