Thanks for being honest. beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #3
First and foremost I am an statistician Godhumor Nov 2015 #4
If I had your knowledge and experience I'd probably be angry all the time. beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #6
Heh, it was the first debate wrap up that caused me to take a GDP break last time Godhumor Nov 2015 #11
Thanks, Godhumor! tex-wyo-dem Nov 2015 #53
Thank you azurnoir Nov 2015 #78

Thank you. n/t TDale313 Nov 2015 #5
Not a statistical analyst, but this is what I spotted so far. jeff47 Nov 2015 #7
& they were screened prior to the debate. nt hopemountain Nov 2015 #50
Screening would be fine if they told us exactly how they were screened jeff47 Nov 2015 #68
I thought PPP was supposed to be a top polling outfit BainsBane Nov 2015 #9
They are. But they also do sponsored polling at customer behest, including directions on conducting Godhumor Nov 2015 #13
Then the sponsored polls aren't accurate? BainsBane Nov 2015 #14
Customers can specify how a poll is conducted, if they wish to do so Godhumor Nov 2015 #16
I see BainsBane Nov 2015 #18
Actually, it might. This is a job they should have turned down Godhumor Nov 2015 #20
So from now on, all PPP polls will be dealt with a heavy dose of skepticism. Weidman Nov 2015 #33
And you just illustrated perfectly why PPP screwed up taking the job Godhumor Nov 2015 #39
It's kind of hard to say now whether PPP is unbiased or not. They have more $$$ to make from HRC! reformist2 Nov 2015 #21
They take money to do polling for any Democratic leaning group or organization Godhumor Nov 2015 #22
I agree that No one should put stock into either the PPP poll or silly internet polls. n/t tammywammy Nov 2015 #10

I won't even bother to look at it in that case. bravenak Nov 2015 #19
Don't. It is not a good night for PPP Godhumor Nov 2015 #23
I hate when Folks jump the shark like that. bravenak Nov 2015 #25
i generally look at polls for fun restorefreedom Nov 2015 #24
What's wrong with their methodology? joshcryer Nov 2015 #26
What were the screening questions? n/t tammywammy Nov 2015 #27
"Are you a democrat planning to watch the debate and answer a poll afterward?" joshcryer Nov 2015 #28
They could have screened for people who already have a preferred candidate. n/t tammywammy Nov 2015 #30
If they did that then that's trash. joshcryer Nov 2015 #35
It's best to just ignore this poll. n/t tammywammy Nov 2015 #38
And that is the problem with sponsored polls right there Godhumor Nov 2015 #34
Ah-hah. Now you've convinced me. joshcryer Nov 2015 #36
No problem. Easiest response is to shrug and call it a poorly designed poll Godhumor Nov 2015 #43
I always have to understand the thought process. joshcryer Nov 2015 #47
I mentioned in another post, even Nate Silver called PPP out Godhumor Nov 2015 #48
A lot, to be honest, but start with the participants weren't undecided voters Godhumor Nov 2015 #29
Then we need the pre-screen questions. joshcryer Nov 2015 #32
They also didn't rotate candidate names JonLeibowitz Nov 2015 #37

Well, it' served one purpose being posted here... MrMickeysMom Nov 2015 #31
The poll was designed to trick people Godhumor Nov 2015 #40
Good for you... MrMickeysMom Nov 2015 #51
I don't do this for a living but I do at times survive professionally based on stats and gathered Bluenorthwest Nov 2015 #66
In all honesty, I can't Godhumor Nov 2015 #69
PPP interviewed 510 Democratic primary voters nationally BlueStateLib Nov 2015 #41
Read through the thread for my other responses. It was a cooked poll Godhumor Nov 2015 #42
One source of bias: "Democratic primary voters." hay rick Nov 2015 #44
trying to be neutral here. Bernie has yet to make a positive pitch SleeplessinSoCal Nov 2015 #45
? Was this in right thread? Godhumor Nov 2015 #46
having been blocked by both Clinton and Sanders groups SleeplessinSoCal Nov 2015 #57
Sanders is being completely honest with you (and all of us). stillwaiting Nov 2015 #60
.....! KoKo Nov 2015 #73
Clinton referenced the revolution that didn't come. SleeplessinSoCal Nov 2015 #74

The only times I hear about her support is when they release a poll... reformist2 Nov 2015 #62
If we went by yard signs and bumper stickers,we sufrommich Nov 2015 #65
Agreed billhicks76 Nov 2015 #63
If the findings are specious we will find out soon enough DemocratSinceBirth Nov 2015 #58
Many (most?) polls are designed to influence opinion, not measure it. Scuba Nov 2015 #59
Thanks for pointing this out,Godhumor. sufrommich Nov 2015 #64
Exactly ismnotwasm Nov 2015 #67
no, not in light of this poll.... riversedge Nov 2015 #70
A second similar result doesn't excuse the sins of the first Godhumor Nov 2015 #71
Flash polls are inherently problematic DemocratSinceBirth Nov 2015 #76
Thank you for an honest professional opinion. Hepburn Nov 2015 #72
Yet its results are confirmed by a CBS poll thus validating the scientific method DemocratSinceBirth Nov 2015 #75
Similar results does not mean same rigor Godhumor Nov 2015 #77
