  1. The MSM claim that Random Polls are scientific… I would ask them to explain what they mean by random..There is Scientific proof that ORDER exists at the micro level… Random is nothing but BS cover for a bias selection.. The amount of Information RE: Postage Code/wealth can’t be discounted….They should know without even sampling…

  2. Trump voters’ enthusiasm is off the charts. Hillary’s? Nonexistent. Hopefully this will be the difference in a tight race.

  3. People will believe anything that reinforces their preconceived notions, and reject anything else as unsubstantiated hearsay.
    The only poll that matters is in November.

  4. People on the right/alt right/libertarian side of things think that the left are deluded, ill-informed or naive. People on the left think we are not even real people, subhuman and evil. This is why they feel that violence and voter fraud are justified to “win” as they truly think that they are fighting evil.

  5. Steve:
    Grenier is essentially correct, on line polls are not random and no statistical conclusions can be based on them. What he should mention, is that his contracted client CBC, make extensive use of these polls daily.
    A poll on the debate winner by CBC could have been run the day before the debate with results showing Clinton an overwhelming winner.

  6. While I don’t think online polls such as the one Buzzfeed has up is in anyways accurate I do think it is indicative. In the last 12 hours Trumps numbers has jumped from 12 million to 15 million while Hillary as been stagnant at 71 thousand.

  7. Martin,
    And then CBC Grenier goes on to use a CNN “random” poll with only 542 responses and more Democrats than Republicans to prove that Clinton is winning.

  8. To complete my thought (having been rudely interrupted): Even if you throw out Trump’s number completely saying it was a hack job, it seems interesting that no one did the same hack for Hillary and even more interesting to note that (I doubt that anyone would hack for Undecided or Other) that Undecided and Other each have over twice the votes Hillary has.

  9. “This poll no longer accurately reflects the opinions of real people”
    Does he mean the poll was influenced by robots?…. Internet GIF Kittens? Space aliens?
    Or Perhaps this gent deems folks who vote for Trump to not be REAL people?
    Sham I couldn’t comment on the sight, but only Facebookers can participate.
