it's not even close to half.

i don't know. reading all the comments in all these stories over the last year and seeing all the stickers on cars/trucks (well mostly trucks) around town and hearing how people talk in this town (and it's a giant union town, no less)......half may be underestimating it.

I think all of the predictions about the demographics change in this country that were made in Obama's last term are still coming true, just a little delayed. There will be a point soon when conservatives will have a hard time getting someone into the White House again.

it's not even close to half.

Latest Gallup poll shows Trump with a 45% approval rating. That's close to half.

45% of what??

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

45% of what??

People polled, obviously.

We've all had statistics. There are different ways of projecting the small sample that you poll.

It's not about me. It's about preconceived notions. Course, my preconceived notion is that all humans are trash.

I'm with you on that, brother. I honestly feel like this forum is a safe haven for intellectual discourse and intelligent people. Now if you feel like that is an absurd statement let me remind you about the rest of the Internet.

Unless things have changed drastically, most polling is conducted via phone calls to landlines. This is a prima facie case of selection bias, because it automatically skews the numbers in favor of a much older demographic. I do not trust polls at all these days.

also those polls were before this child separation blew up. guarantee that changes things a bit.

not only that, but when you look at the criteria of most polls, they're polling between 1000 and 3000 people. HARDLY a statistical cross section of 300,000,000!!

 

[rickenvox]

Doubtful.

Just remember that Gallup picked Romney as the winner over Obama for the 2012 election

they try to target demographic groups to get an even spread of people, but it's all voodoo science

yea, but all the polls were saying it would be HRC over .....(i can't even say his name at this point)

Yes, I remember that night. But this other tracking of demographic changes has nothing to do with opinion polls and I believe will have a good outcome for our country in the next several years.

Unfortunately, my birth religion is a huge hurdle to overcome in America w/r/t people taking my opinion seriously. It is what it is. I'm doing what I can to advocate for my program candidates.

You could always use hair product and change your name to Scaramucci.

45% of trash.
