Say hello to 'Longroom- Unbiased' the 'Unskewed Polls' site for 2016. A link to an article about this site has thousands of upvotes and hundreds of comments now on Reddit r/the_Donald.  Once the polls are 'unbiased' it turns out Trump is actually ahead by 0.9%!

To be fair, it's unlikely the site creator would be doing something better with their time than this.

LOL.
Very interesting .... but extremely JUNK.
I like how they concentrate so much on their "auto gauges" on each pollster's "Bias" and their own adjustment for each.
Do we know if this site was created by our very own Seriously ?

This site is so obviously full of crap. Their methodology page shows they predicted the exact margin in 2004, 2008, and 2012. Yet they show none of their data for those elections. I really can't wait for the Karl Roves of the world to get embarrassed again.

"The polls are all wrong! They're all wrong! They're all over-sampling Democrats because there isn't a single Democrat in America who isn't permanently unemployed, living on welfare, and voting for a living, so they're all at home answering polls! Wait until Election Day, when Mitt Romney Donald Trump is going to win in a landslide! It'll be the biggest surprise since Dewey and Truman!"

Right, because it went so well for Romney when his internal team did their own poll "unskewing."

I'll just post here what I said about their comments on the CNN poll that had Clinton up nine points
BREAKING: Hillary's latest poll data doesn't include votes from 18-34 year olds

Essentially, when the poll backed their candidate it was "Even the lamestream media shows Trump up!", but now that Trump is back down the methodology that worked when Trump was up needs to be addressed.

You are blundering, it was created by Russians. I'm astonished such a simple and evident idea hasn't occurred to you.

This Russian clown of ours, is more inept than I thought.
The OP is mocking this thread, I am mocking this thread, everyone else posting is mocking this thread, but yet he feels that he and his Russian friends want to take credit for developing it.
OK .... whatever.
