Hillary Clinton tumbles in new poll, as e-mail scandal lingers [View all] Larry Engels Apr 2015 OP

Quinnipiac had some odd polls in OH and PA senate races so i take these polls with a grain hrmjustin Apr 2015 #1

It's waaaaaaay too early anyway. calimary Apr 2015 #2

I wouldn't. At least not for that reason rpannier Apr 2015 #3

Quinnipiac's results MOST ACCURATE OF MAJOR POLLSTERS. Divernan Apr 2015 #10

I meant their senate numbers. And I don't hold Quinnipiac in high regard as others do. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #11

So what was "odd" about "their Senate numbers"? Divernan Apr 2015 #14

I expected the races to be closer. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #15

So you judge them by your expectations of future elections jeff47 Apr 2015 #17

I use my good common sense. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #18

So did the guy who "unskewed" the 2012 polls. jeff47 Apr 2015 #19

So are sayin I should not question these results? hrmjustin Apr 2015 #20

You should question their usefulness this far from the election. jeff47 Apr 2015 #21

My point which I think I was clear on that their senate polls seem off to me. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #22

Any my point is "seem off" is the worst possible way to judge a poll. jeff47 Apr 2015 #24

Unless another pollster comes out with similiar numbers I think my feelings are correct. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #25

Iowa is a blue state, and yet Hillary lagged behind Rand Paul. Larry Engels Apr 2015 #16

That was my thought too. zeemike Apr 2015 #27

The more Rand talks, the less appealing he will be emulatorloo Apr 2015 #42

Iowa is NOT a Blue state, at least not recently. Adrahil Apr 2015 #61

Bernie will win Iowa, easily Smithryee Apr 2015 #92

Gee, election day is right around the corner, and now this news comes out. TheCowsCameHome Apr 2015 #5

Not a fan of Hillary...but she would maybe do best to wait and let the "Clown Car" KoKo Apr 2015 #6

She can't wait. former9thward Apr 2015 #8

Yes...I just saw she will announce this Weekend in DU "LBN".... KoKo Apr 2015 #9

That's the trouble. There's not enough time to let it "blow over." Larry Engels Apr 2015 #13

If she wanted to wait, she would not have signed the lease. merrily Apr 2015 #102

The poster I replied to said she should wait. former9thward Apr 2015 #105

I know. I've been reading down the thread. My point is that she is not waiting merrily Apr 2015 #107

Nope... Time to get in. Adrahil Apr 2015 #62

When the story was that she was going to announce in July 2015, what did you say? merrily Apr 2015 #108

Is there an election of some sort coming up no one told me about? Again?? Fred Sanders Apr 2015 #7

As someone who hopes that another candidate will get the nomination, this poll is good totodeinhere Apr 2015 #12

Whew ...glad I'm not the only one who notices that. L0oniX Apr 2015 #49

Your point did not go unnoticed by me. Maybe it's time we start looking for another candidate who is more viable. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2015 #52

Odd only to someone who is brand new to DU. merrily Apr 2015 #106

I did not feel the sarcasm tag was necessary to detect the sarcasm in that post. (nt) jeff47 Apr 2015 #121

It wasn't necessary. merrily Apr 2015 #122

Just shows how stupid the 'public' is Rosa Luxemburg Apr 2015 #28

Guess that also explains all those positive early poll results favoring Hillary before collapsing. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2015 #53

Her polls have gone down before, including while media was calling her inevitable and unbeatable. merrily Apr 2015 #109

This is an absolutely worthless poll Gman Apr 2015 #29

Been here 11 yrs now and rarely see them. Kingofalldems Apr 2015 #37

Then you haven't been looking. jeff47 Apr 2015 #68

I have no idea what your last 4 words mean. Was that an insult? Kingofalldems Apr 2015 #70

Do you agree with this post? Kingofalldems Apr 2015 #43

Oh Wow! Good catch. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #44

Thanks. I don't do this willy nilly. Kingofalldems Apr 2015 #45

To rec one's own thread is, arguably, mildly bad form. Warren DeMontague Apr 2015 #60

I don't 'rec police'. That's just one piece of the puzzle. Kingofalldems Apr 2015 #63

I'm speaking specifically and only about the fad of rec policing. Warren DeMontague Apr 2015 #64

Okay then, you do what you think is correct and I'll do the same. Kingofalldems Apr 2015 #66

Like I told his majesty, he quite likely has spotted exactly what he thinks he has spotted, here. Warren DeMontague Apr 2015 #90

I didn't follow the conversation closely but it happened in the latter days of the 012 election. DemocratSinceBirth Apr 2015 #91

No, not gonna flip out here, either. Warren DeMontague Apr 2015 #93

I just look for a happy poll like this one: DemocratSinceBirth Apr 2015 #104
