All these “expert” opinions and not one shows any indication of having taken a statistics course. Probably have strong opinions about brain surgery techniques too.
The real limitations of polls has to do with the universal misunderstanding of what MOE represents and with the rebalancing of Dem/Pubbie balance after survey has been completed.
Even the estimable Herman Cain, who has a degree in mathematics, makes the first error - just as dumb as the rest of the media and locals here.
It may be a fraud. But I see it as avery well run professional bribe and money laundering enterprise. If the mafia was just starting to go legit, this would be their business model.
Interesting winners/losers article here:
“...Sir Michael Caine: The veteran Hollywood star was unequivocal: ‘You cannot be dictated to by thousands of faceless civil servants [in Brussels].’
Love it.
Hehehehee now the uk liberals want a redo!!! Bawhaha they burned their own bridge by the pollsters manipulating their polls to fit their agenda! Thank you pollsters you’ve done your job well ..you kept the liberals home! How delicious !!!!
Amazingly, Frank Luntz got this one correct: http://time.com/4364697/brexit-frank-luntz-poll/
“The UK liberals want a redo!!! “
Well they can DO ONE !!!
This is like May 1945; we have got our freedom back.
We polished off 2 bottles of champers last night. I’ve lost friends and fallen out with relatives over this. However this to me is a price well worth paying if you are a patriot (oh no I must be a nazi).
Nigel Farage is our George Washington.
GOD FOR HARRY ENGLAND AND ST GEORGE !!!!!!!!!!
For what its worth I’m certain that Trump will win in November.
Polls project the will of who is paying for them.
Soros pays for a poll to that “Stay” is inevitable, poll results will show “Stay” is inevitable. Money changes hands and pollsters laugh on way to bank.
Reuters/IPSOS came up with the Clinton by 14%. Note that “Ipsos MORI extended their fieldwork into the final day of campaigning and updated their final predictions from a four-point to an eight-point Remain win.” The common turd in the punch bowl is IPSOS. Can bowl on either side of the pond.
Congrats! I hear the Liberals are going to bring it up on House floor because they have over 1.6 million web signatures and by rules they have to present...but someone stated that there’s not much they can do LOL! Theyll bring it up but it’ll be for show for pleasantries other than that freedom for Britain !!

“Doing a job RIGHT the first time gets the job done. Doing the job WRONG 14 times gives you job security.”
“Do not fear the enemy, for your enemy can only take your life. It is far better that you fear the media, for they will steal your HONOR. That awful power, the public opinion of a nation, is created in America by a horde of ignorant, self-complacent simpletons who failed at ditching and shoe making and fetched up in journalism on their way to the poor house.”
— Mark Twain
