Elections Media pollsters pull a "Hillary 2016" in Florida Race

[EGarrett]

Yesterday, the media's polling predictions in Florida, as reported by FiveThirtyEight, had Andrew Gillum dominating the Governor race by as much as 7 points.

The Republican Ron DeSantis won.

What the **** is wrong with these people?

They underestimated just how racist that state really is. We all knew they were dumb.

The polls are inaccurate. Everyone is afraid of retribution if they say they support a republican(publicly or privately)

When the youth rebels, like they always do, it will be against this fascism. Which is why people are saying these up and coming millennials are the most conservative generation ever

It's official now. Ron DeSantis won.

The frightening thing is that it appears they learned absolutely nothing from 2016.

They weren't joking. They really did tell themselves that it was "Russian hackers" or invisible deplorables (who somehow elected Obama twice), and just kept doing the exact same thing, right on down to the phony polls where they ask their friends and call that the official numbers. (seriously though, these "pollsters" really have been caught just asking a group of like 60% democrats who they were going to vote for then declaring that Hillary had a 10-point lead).

I love that the dumbest poll among them, where Gillum had a blowout 7% lead, is rated an A- by 538, and the ones that had it the closest are unrated and C+.

If you heard the radio ads Gillum ran in Florida you would not have voted for him either. He or whoever did the ads yelled throughout it about gun control and pushing stricter gun laws and working to repeal stand your ground. Also he did a lot harm to Jacksonville and it saw a sharp rise in crime under his watch.

Edit: Above I mistakenly said Jacksonville when I should have said Tallahassee. Others forum members pointed out my mistake.

I can't imagine why people on the right don't want to say how they're going to vote to these pollsters.

Right wingers still don't understand margin of error? All of those predictoons were within the margin of error....meaning it was always possible they wede wrong.


Also the polls are skewed IMO because real people don't take polls....I feel they ask idiots/troll/people who will take time to answer polls(weirdos).

They forgot to poll the old people.

Oh really? The margin of error in a two-horse race was 8%? Because the Quinnipiac Poll was off by 8 points, and it was rated an A- by FiveThirtyEight.

I see your pic...all are within 5% except for 1.

No. Quinnipiac's margin of error was 3.5%. They were 8% off. So they were nowhere near their "margin of error."

Nelson lost... like every Senator in a close race that voted against Kavanaugh. What a gross miscalculation.

That's exactly what I said.

Bro look at the pic in the op.

All of them except 1..quinnapic.


As I said, most of the polls were within the margim of error.

 

[BIKES!]

Liberals are racist swine. There is no level of propaganda they won’t use
