(15,951 posts)She's been ahead in 99% of these polls yet some DUers only care about the ones she is behind in.
It's unfortunate

(25,111 posts)From what I see from the polls, HRC is ahead in the Nationals and ahead in the Electoral College. Saw HRC is ahead in Florida and tied in Iowa.

(1,132 posts)Iowa tied again, but Colorado suddenly a dead heat? HRC up in a few Florida polls, but fading in PA?
HRC up an average of 4 points in the last week of polls but dropping like a rock again at 538?
My head is spinning.

(5,256 posts). . . and you're approaching it all rationally and calmly, which is fresh and different for DU.
First, ignore 538. Silver has jumped the shark.
Second, I just think you have to temper polls with learned history and common sense. PA didn't tighten that much in a few days, and as Plouffe said there aren't enough Repube votes outside Philadelphia to overcome a likely 500,000 vote Hillary lead there. IA is tight. Many reasons why Trumpster should fail in FL and NC (where he trails today per a GOP-leaning pollster). CO, like NV, is always difficult to poll and the Dems best the polls, at least recently. Oh, and the garbage CNN poll of CO had Bennet leading by 10, making the top line impossible.

(2,205 posts)Ed Randal help building a database of 600k reliable voters, the outreach program for GOTV. The well defined structure of precint captains and solid church outreach... community leaders and voter accessibility. This bank has been a reliable source of votes from 2004 but first time fully realized its potential in 2008 and exceed 600k votes. Do you live in Philly?
