Do you feel nervous and uneasy when you see several posts on the front page that are at least 1 day old...and it makes you feel like you need to post right away to make the board more current..
In 2016 they all said he had 0% chance...and look at how that turned out..

You seem to be confusing polls and pundits.

I was worried about what the pundit naysayers were saying in 2016 but I'm not falling for it this time...nope..
Or
Ohio voters disapprove of President Donald Trump by a large margin, poll finds
Just 39 percent of Ohio adults approve of President Donald Trump’s job performance, with almost three times more Ohioans telling Baldwin Wallace University pollsters that they they “strongly disapprove” of Trump’s handling of the presidency than those who said they “strongly approve.”
19 Months to go so Trump of course will find a way to turn this around because IF he loses then He will be arrested and that is something that he does not want based on fact Jail does not serve MC D's food

Trump supporters have this bizarre reasoning that because pundits were wrong the polls were wrong. The polls predicted a narrow Clinton popular vote win and Clinton winning swing states narrowly. The polls were off by about 2 percent which is well within the margin of error. This was all a conspiracy by the pollsters to lie about what real American wanted blah blah blah. When polling averages in 2012 had Obama winning the popular vote by less than one percent, but he ended up winning by almost 4, a polling miss of more than three percent, no one saw it as a conspiracy. There is literally no consistency to their beliefs, and zero political memory of anything that happened before 2016.

Of course I have learned my lesson and I mean My Lesson. So now I can pay close attention to the key swing states and make sure I take the margin in error of polls into account. I may not learn my lesson about betting again on the elections but for sure will not open my wallet so wide this time. Me I do want Trump to squirm and based on him firing his own polsters LoL - Fox News must be feeling the heat and fully expect Trump to force them to find a new polling company. They will find it difficult to find one on Trump's side. Of course it's up to Trump to turn Ohio around and up to becky to make sure this does not happen.

What I find amusing about these Trump ratings, is they only poll anywhere between 1000 to 2000 people. And they use that to give his rating? What about the opinions of the millions of other people in this country?

A 3% margin of error means that if the same procedure is used a large number of times, 95% of the time the true population average will be within the sample estimate plus or minus 3%. The margin of
error can be reduced by using a larger sample, however if a pollster wishes to reduce the margin of error to 1% they would need a sample of around 10,000 people. In practice, pollsters need to balance
the cost of a large sample against the reduction in sampling error and
a sample size of around 500–1,000 is a typical compromise for political polls.

Yea, just like the polls said Hillary was going to win in 2016? Give me a fucking break. Your polls don't mean shit.
