Strategist Jon Ralston calls out latest NBCnews state poll

[ffr]

Jon - "Chuck, you want me to blunt and honest. Your poll shows Donald Trump with almost 40% of the Latino vote, if that's happening here (NV) or anywhere else, we're going to be at Donald Trump's inauguration. I'm not sure that's happening."

Jon lays it out in laymen terms at 3:27s into the clip, stresses early voting (EV) advantages over polling samples in Nevada.

Sorry Chuckie!

p.s. I'll have preliminary numbers from Nevada's 5th day of EV tonight, in about five hours.

1. And Rasmussuen had Hillary at +4 in NV yesterday

and Adelson's paper, the LV-RJ had Hillary at +7.

2. He's a reporter

And he's right.

3. Junk

He essentially said their poll was junk and Todd ,after a rather lame defense ,didn't really contest him on it.

4. Good question Mr. Ralston!

[Wellstone ruled]

5. Do not know what the hell Chuckie Toad is talking about.

Sure as heck is not Las Vegas Nevada,must be Las Vegas New Mexico. My info is 180 degrees with Chuckie. Phone Bank again tomorrow,and looking forward to talking to the greatest people in the world,Democrats.

6. They got a bad sample for NV poll. It happens. No way Trump gets 40% of Latinos anywhere

He won't even get that in FL with the RW cuban vote propping him up.

7. Not sure why Chuck Todd is being criticized in this case

He had two state polls and sought the local political experts in those two states. Then he allowed them to scrutinize the polling and detail where the races stand. He accepted their knowledge and verdicts.

It's not like Chuck Todd created those polls himself, and paraded them as absolute.

Matthews earns the criticism tonight, for repeatedly embracing FOX News as a "good poll" while ignoring other polls with more robust margins.

8. Jon Ralston is pretty astute about Nevada politics.

Sometimes he'd say things I didn't want to hear, but he is usually on the mark.

9. Time to start embarrassing the shit out of the M$M

For blantantly using outliers to try and create unnecessary election drama, ratings, and money for the networks. It's pretty obvious they are trying to justify the endless hours of election coverage and the huge number of "experts" all prattling on about nothing much in particular. All without regard for their own reputation or the veracity of the election itself.
