Real time Facebook presidential poll shows a completely different story than mainstream media polls

When Trump loses, will you come back and acknowledge that scientifically conducted polls use reliable methodology, while Facebook polls have no statistical relevance?

A scientific poll?

Do you mean a complicated poll? There is no science needed in a #ing vote haha.

Our educational system has failed spectacularly....

Hillary Clinton is losing plain and simple I stated this before we work among the community in NE PA
there is no one voting for her out of at least 250 people that we know of in our area. This is odd because at least more then 75% of them have
voted democratic in the past ...PA has always been a liberal state ... theres a huge change where we live. This is a movement like no other and if you choose to deny it you are fools!

The plural of anecdote is not data.

He could be an Islamic oompa-loompa named Dildo. Won't change anything.
People are voting for an R ticket, and for Jesus. Not for the President. Not for this man.

If his last name was Baggins, I'd vote for him.

Dildo Baggins....

You guys keep preaching about these "scientific" polls and that's the only thing we should believe.

Here's what I believe;

1. The mainstream media is completely biased evidenced by the hundreds of allegations of wrongdoing that appear everywhere but the mainstream media in regards to Hillary and yet the headlines are plastered with Trumps only allegations, which are more likely false because why did these women wait to make these allegations. This bias media are the ones conducting these polls.

2. Mainstream media polls are the only thing in reality that attempt to portray Hillary in the lead.

3. She is crushed on social media.

4. She is crushed on attendance at rally's. Hillary can't even fill a high school gym while Trump packs arenas.

5. She is crushed on obvious yard sign support. All across America it is the same... 1 Hillary sign for every 10 Trump signs. You can claim this means nothing, but never in any election have I ever seen so few signs for a particular candidate, even local town board candidates have more signs. But hey, maybe she has some support and they are just too damn embarrassed to show it.

6. Voter enthusiasm. It worked for Obama and the democrats in 2008. Record numbers showed up for the democrats cuz they were energized in the primaries and it continued through the general election. Record numbers showed up this year for Republicans in the primaries and they are still just as enthused.

7. As far as that enthusiasm, Republicans in denial will come around and they will vote while democrats have no enthusiasm this year and they will stay home.

8. Hillary's most support comes from the inner city and the elderly. The elderly only support her cuz they don't have alternative media and are clueless to what we see about Hillary. They only have the sham headlines fed to them by a corrupt and controlled media. Some of the inner city may support her but most of them don't even support her, but regardless, the inner city will be staying home in record numbers this year.

That's the reality. That's why Trump is winning and we are being lied to and set up for the rigging of this election. And how will they rig this election. Now that it is all digital and everything under the sun is being hacked, how do we know it's safe. It's not.

So, once again. What do you have to show Hillary is winning. You only have a few manipulated polls meant to fool only the gullible and naive. Most of us know better!

Don’t use that word like you know what it means.

You can BELIEVE whatever you want.

Our point is that only scientific polls produce statistically valid results.

Statistics isn't magic, you know. It's a legitimate branch of mathematics.

Asking facebook for an opinion poll is like asking a mouse to get the cheese from the mousetrap-the mouse does something stupid and deserves a slap in the back of the head.

Polls are conducted with small focus groups and doesn't represent the entire population, and using a form of social media that has members who take photos of their breakfast and start a sentence with "Like um, here's the thing" doesn't seem like the best place to start a poll.

The amount of "Triggered" from "Non-Scientific" leading to "Scientific" just generally sarcastically being used in quotes is hilarious. Those Democrats and their Science. How dare they!!!

not to burst your bubble but all polls are totally unreliable and the popular vote is not what elects president it is the electoral college votes and they can vote what ever way they want.

a reply to: proteus33
sorry i was wrong about electoral college they are supposed to vote by popular cvote for their state

This thread (and all the crap like it, whether written, spoken) is why I've thrown up my hands, said **** it, and am voting for Clinton, who I detest with a passion. I simply can no longer placate the greater stupidity & ignorance, which is heavily concentrated on the Drumpf side.

Dear god, one doesn't even need to take a probability and statistics course to gain a basic understanding of how random sampling works. Confirmation bias, might want to look into that too.

This all said, we've got some soul-searching to do.

That FB post now has over 100k comments...wow! Trump leading by over 80% is telling (according to last count at 3000 votes). When someone always asks "why would you ever vote for Trump"? My only response is I have 33,000 reasons not to vote for Hillary. It's not the reasoning to vote for Trump more than it is to not vote for Hillary. It's quite simple if you ask me.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!

Do you think perhaps FB Polls have a slight bias since it is a SOCIAL NETWORK...aka...the people you connect with and who follow you are often people of similar thinking and political leaning and geography etc. etc.??

But professional, scientific polls are utter BS????

This OP is full on REALITY HATE...

Whatever your politics ...Deciding to hate things like Science, Math and Reality is not a mentally healthy thing to do to your brain.

Why would you vote for someone you detest? I understand if you don't want to vote for Trump but vote someone you don't detest. Write it in if you have to. A lot of people think they have to vote for either Hillary or Trump, that is not true, even though these are the top two candidates.

I'm okay with Trump being President of Facebook.

I'm also okay with Trump supporters living in a fantasy world and thinking Trump is winning.

Just my two cents I went through every single comment under the multiple shared topic of Jamie Lee Curtis slandering him. I was quite shocked to see trump is unanimously supported and even more shocked how many women were bashing Clinton. The public is much more aware of her devious actions and criminal behavior then I ever thought possible, and I say GOOD!
