The Rant Thread/My Life Sucks Topic [Don't be pricks]

[Pianist Da Sootopolis]

Because like I just said before Bernie gives republicans a higher chance of winning in the end. Clinton will probably wipe the floor with trump.

Not according to most head to head polls.
According to RealClearPolitics' average of polls, here's how Clinton and Sanders stack up against Republican candidates.
FYI: All polls used for the average are provided in the link above.
Clinton vs Trump: As of the 6th, Clinton wins by an average of about 6(.3) points.

Sanders vs Trump: As of the 6th, Sanders wins by an average of 10 points.
Clinton vs Cruz: As of the 6th, Clinton loses by an average of .8 points; note: this is technically within the margin of error of almost any of the polls conducted.

Sanders vs Cruz: As of Feb. 27th, Sanders wins by an average of just under ten (9.7) points.
Clinton vs Rubio:As of the 6th, Clinton loses by an average of 4 points.

Sanders vs Rubio: As of Feb. 27th, Sanders wins by an average of just over 3(.3) points.
Clinton vs Kasich: As of Feb. 17th, Clinton loses by an average of over 7(.4) points.

Sanders vs Kasich: As of Feb. 15th, Sanders wins by an average of half a point. (Note: while this seems small, note that in the only two polls done for this matchup, Kasich wins within the margin of error, but Sanders wins and exceeds the margin of error).


Hillary isn't more electable when you pit her up against everyone else; not to mention the baggage of the email scandal and a potential indictment.

everything I've heard about polls suggests that they have little to no bearing on actual election results

For this reason, this'll be my last post about this in this thread.

There is some bias in polls, yes, in that they're conducted via landlines which are more common among certain demographics (ie older people). That said, they tend to be a good tool for guessing, and since these are fairly recent (with the exception of the Kasich polls) they're hardly the worst thing to base it off of.
Also bear in mind that, again with the exception of Kasich, the numbers I gave are averages of 3 or more sources.

You guys suck at keeping your mouths shut in some threads and not opening them in others.

[mikey]

hey, I tried that before
all that happened was two equally angry conversations started

[FireArrow]

-stuff-

Polls also suggest Kasich as the highest chance of beating Clinton of all the republicans. I'm saying Bernie has less of a chance of winning simply because he's so far left that I think people in the middle will be reluctant to vote for him. Then again, if people in the middle voted Trump over Bernie because "socialism" then I have no faith in America anyways.

Let's move this conversation to the Politics thread, I don't think this is really the place for it.

How long have you been straight?

maybe 10 or 11 years

[Dude]

I think you should have phrased the question better and it would be less dumb.

Like "How long have you known you were gay?" or something.
