Anyone want to give out specific polls that NEED to be on the wall?

1) That Kansas poll
2) ARG WI
3) ARG Maryland- dems
4) Gravis in Kentucky and LA

Those pop up in my head immediately.

Most ARG, Gravis, and Overtime polls.

Honestly, there's been so many this cycle there's not even a point. Off the top of my head, that Iowa poll that showed Hillary up like 30 points. Every SC poll on the Dem side besides Clemson. All those TX polls that showed Cruz only barely leading Trump. The OK polls where Trump was crushing it. Every MI Dem poll. The list goes on...

The Brown University poll that had Trump only getting 38% in Rhode Island was pretty bad.

Keeping in mind that only a tiny fraction of voters are actually able to attend caucuses, I don't think polls for caucus states should go on the wall of shame. It's impossible to know whether Clinton had a 10 point lead among eligible voters in Kansas as that poll showed, the results of the caucus definitely don't prove she didn't, and as such it shouldn't go on the wall of shame.

Um... DMR final poll? Not that the margins were massively off, but they were still knocked off their gold-standard

True, but that poll wasn't even led by Clinton. The poll was led by 'Undecided'. There's also the fact that the sample size was under 300.
