I noticed there are some Isidewith polls on the database for the GOP primary.  But can we trust this website? 

They do an average of data from 30 days.  Giving the dynamic nature of the GOP race.  I don't think that would be reliable. 

But this seal the deal for me.

For the DEM primary, for the recent 1000 votes.  It look sort of right.

But if we go back to 1 month,

Sanders leads every states.
Same thing with 3 months ago, and data beyond that.

This make no sense.  If the DEM #s are this wrong, then how can the GOP #s are trusted in the data base.

Hmm, am i reading it wrong??

For the most RECENT votes, Rand Paul took 36 states.

So no.  The site need to be consistent to be taking seriously.

If in the same system, Sanders dominated.  Then how can that system be trusted?

Do you have examples of polls in the database, so I can remove them ?

Those are no scientific polls (to whoever entered them).

I don't have time to look through all the states.  But something like this, it look pretty legit for Maine and probably align with reality.  But still it from the same website that put Sanders as the front runner.

See this is where you fell apart.  Fresh is more current than new.  You argue that "new" is more legit.  But only in the Fresh map is Clinton dominate.  The New map, she lost every states.  So in the Dem, the "fresh" is the more correct one.  Which meant Fresh or New, the site is bullsh**t.

You make it sounds like, there was an initial Rand flood but it washed out over time.  Where the opposite happened, the Rand spam just got started and probably will be worst over time in the coming months.
