2012
D: 51.02%
R: 47.18%
Other: 1.80%

2008
D: 52.87%
R: 45.60%
Other: 1.53%

Yep, D+16 looks just about...way off.
Consumers of main stream media propaganda are predominantly Democrats. It’s ok by me if Democrats believe they are so far ahead that there is no reason for them to donate or vote. They should just go..to...sleep.

Assuming 16% more Democrats than Republicans turn out to vote in the November general election, the results may correlate with the poll...I think it's going to be very difficult for 'rats to get their people to turn out this November - certainly not nearly as many as showed up for cult-hero and all around cool black man Obama in '08 and '12 - kids and blacks have traditionally been difficult to motivate to get to the polls - they turned out for Obama because they actually believed he was going to make a difference for them - now that they see he pretty much failed them, it's going to be tough to fool them into believing somebody like Hillary is going to do anything more for them - and she's certainly far from cool and inspiring - more like a nagging old aunt than a super-black.....

‘...and no way to know ahead of time what the makeup of the voting public will be on election day...’

It is 100% certain that 100% of the dead will be voting Democrat in November.

[chopperman]

All the dead are Democrats.

Clinton leads Trump by 8-points– in poll that interviewed 16% more Democrats

LOL - now that's funny...

I especially don’t believe the fox polls. Easy for liberals to infiltrate.

Sampling is what it is all about. If you sample the correct proportions of Dems in Amhearst Mass you get a different result than if you sample the same proportion from Jellico Tennessee, and again different from the same exercise in Beaumont Tx. And, if your poll has Dems from Anhearst and GOP from Beaumont you have really stacked the results.

They can mostly get the result they want unless there is an actual 40-50 point differential.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

These polls are trying to be accurate. Drives me nuts when everyone cries that the polls are wrong when it doesn’t favor their candidate.

I'll respectfully disagree with you. These polls are trying to be a driving force for the democrats. That's all! Over-sampling by 15-20%? Thank you for participating!

This is moving toward pure desperation. The 16 point spread has NEVER happened in a real election. I is a totally factious model dreamed up by the likes of Natie Silver.
