This is a phony poll. It only samples people who respond to its internet poll. Therefore it can only represent the population of its internet poll takers. This has been explained many times on many threads, but Trump supporters keep touting this poll.

Just because it uses the Internet doesn’t mean it’s “phony” or inaccurate.Lots and lots of businesses run their operations based on Internet-based polling.

It’s actually quite accurate and is not a Drudge or Time.com type respondent poll. It’s actually probably more accurate than a landline poll. The interviews are simply conducted online with respondents and then weighted as they would any other poll.

As opposed to people that 1) care to answer the phone and 2) share with a stranger who they would vote for?

Oh yeah, completely 'phony"……./s
