Question about polls....

[clarice]

with so many polls out there, AND so many agendas, is there a poll that is strictly bi-partisan? By that I mean...
are they surveying a wide cross section of potential voters? (urban/suburban etc.) Are they asking their questions
in an honest format? (without spin) etc. etc. Which poll is the most accurate?

1. I think the best are the ones which average all major polls

Need to get rid of the outliers by tossing out the top and bottom for a more realistic take.

5. 538 dot com grades polling firms

They also show past accuracy and partisan tilt. You can learn all about polling at that site.

7. 538 rates them

Pretty easy to tell the good ones. Also, when taken as a whole they tell a fairly accurate story.

If 2 weeks from now the polls are the same as now or more towards Hillary, this election will be 99% chance won.
