Kranky Critter, nothing done for polling on Repptide is remotely close to scientific. It is a conduit site for radical liberal socialist, foul language, personal attacks and managed by a small “club”. All questions submitted for “voting” purposes on there are radically skewed with no paricular question or trap options of the two options allowed. The questions are submitted by less than a dozen “addict” members who monopolize the site and control who’s allowed to stay and who must be banned. Who really knows where the vote on there come from or if they are manipulated.

Was this a scientific sample? If it wasn’t, then it doesn’t mean much of anything.

that’s it. even the way her campaign was organized (poorly) is indicative of her dishonesty. the “ready-on-day-one” sloggan was a big fat lie. she wasn’t even ready for life after super-tuesday, let alone the first day in office. i love her, but that clinton machine is a big phoney mess. we dodged a bullet.

I agree with Andy for the most part. I believe that most polls ask questions that are arbitrary at best. I don’t think that the American public has a standard, but a curve line of judgement. Sort of like going to a supermarket and choosing a piece of meat or a kind of canned goods. They look the field over mentally and choose “Yes” or “No”.
Then the pollsters statistically set up the game. I just remember what the prof put up on the black board on the first day of class. “Lies, Dam Lies, and Statistics”

I think you’re polling probably hit it right. A number of people simply don’t like/trust Clinton. They don’t like the politics that she represents. That dislike, coupled with the horrible campaign she ran (constant message changes, no longterm strategy, overlooking caucus contests) is the real reason she lost (add to that the good campaigning from Obama).
