Emerson college is a joke. Last year, their final poll showed Tisei leading by 3 in MA-06, he lost by 14. And the 0% undecided in this poll is so obviously false at this point in the cycle.

The margin of error means that each candidate's number, not the margin, may be off by, in this poll, up to 3.2%. So, under the best possible scenario for republicans, the margin of error would mean that Hillary is trailing 49.8-50.2 in CA. So, it's actually just barely within the margin of error under the minimal chance that this poll is actually credible.

Emerson needs to fail their statistics majors.



I doubt it's statistics students who do their polls. Their errors are always in a too-republican direction, so they probably just hire some low-key republican party operatives to produce their junk.
