The Pole To Beat All Polls

[Russ Alllah Gehry]

What would a seriously great poll look like? Does anyone have suggestions on how many answers a seriously great poll would have?

Polls suck. They almost NEVER have the answer I want to give as a choice.

There was a great one on Fox this morning, saying that 50% believe Trump is too accommodating to Russia and almost that many think he's creating too much friction with China. The commentator tried to spin it "Half the country thinks he's fine on Russia!" What a bunch of Trumpbots!

FOX did no better on polling pre-election than anyone else.

Yup.

Thinking that through a bit, one idea might be to use degrees in questions to judge intensity of opinion - "On a scale of one through ten, do you think..."

Obviously that wouldn't cover all answers, but at least we could draw some empirical judgements when trying to gauge interest and predict results.

Does that mean you think their poll was WRONG? I think it means Trump sucks at foreign relations and half the country is smart enough to know it.

Okay, is this thread about poles or is it about polls?

Or is it about me? In which case the choice is obvious.

My suggest is , to not have any polls that way they cant get it wrong. The most important poll is the election where people "ACTUALLY" make up their minds. Trump won, the popular vote in most of the states, which is why he will be the next president of the US.

No, it means that FOX polls are skewed, like nearly all polls, or it was an online click-the-button poll.

I don't participate in polls, and generally laugh at them when they are posted on line.

most of the polls I saw here had it in the bag for the old bag, winning in a landslide.

I have less reason to believe them now

Nothing to say. I'm not on the Russia stole the election bandwagon.
