Reuters/Ipsos: (Most) States

[Dr. Arch]

It saddens me that Nate included this into the 538 model because it threw everything on a wack.

[Figueira]

Nebraska: Clinton+3. No wonder it's so weird on 538.

[pbrower2a]

Not with

(1) Trump up 11 in Indiana

(2) Trump winning southwestern Virginia, which is culturally similar to Kentucky, by a landslide margin. (West of a line from about Winchester to the western suburbs of Richmond, Trump is doing quite well in Virginia. Of course most Virginians live to the east of that line and are going heavily for Clinton).

(3) no event that should bring Kentucky into line with a state nearly even -- like Missouri or North Carolina.

Corroboration necessary.   

[Seriously?]

I refuse to format this junk, but here you go. The latest data, including battleground Kentucky, Reuters doesn't know who wins DC and the 14-point New Hampshire Trump surge!

That 36% margin in CA though, lol

[Ebsy]

Clinton leading in Nebraska lmao.

[Sorenroy]

There Nebraska statewide has Clinton leading Trump by four points (538). I'll just put that out there.

Also, still not sure how 538 is getting the sample sizes. And why would a polling company even put out polls with samples under 200?

Edit: I'm not trying to cherrypick here, just showing that something is very wrong with their polls.

[Seriously?]

I remember You Gov doing something similar in either 2014 or 2012. The sample sizes for some of the states were putrid. This thing has an interesting methodology where some states are 1, 2 or 3 week samples depending on the sample size.

Reuters/Ipsos must be supplying the information to 538. I don't see anything on either Reuters' or Ispos' websites.

[Gustaf]

Yeah, and Clinton is up by 5 in Nebraska and winning overall in the electoral college.

(you probably shouldn't cherry pick good results for your side out of a clearly crap set of polls that still shows your candidate losing by a large margin if you don't wanna look like a tool)

[Fusionmunster]

Is Florida deep blue?

[IceAgeComing]

That New Hampshire... thing has a sample size of 133; polled over twenty days.  They basically asked seven people a day for three weeks and thought that made a scientific poll worth publishing.  Factoring on what the MoE probably is the race is probably still within it, which says a lot about the thing.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Wow... are things that bad?

[Torie]

Where's TN?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Great news on these polls, obviously FL and Via are heading in Clinton's direction.

[Mehmentum]

Also from Reuters/Ipsos:
Trump +2 in Kentucky.  Clinton up 4 in Nebraska! South Carolina is a tie but Trump is leading by 1 point in Michigan and 3 points in Wisconsin.

[Inmate Trump]

So I think we can all agree these are pretty sh**tty polls.

[Coolface Sock #42069]

I thought Reuters was a good pollster...?

[LLR]

Also LLR will be pleased to see battleground South Carolina.

ayy lmao

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Clinton's only winning NEB 2 and ME 2 is competitive as well.

[Wells]

Trump under 50 in WV? WI to the right of IA? Trump up 11 in LA?

I changed the turnout to 100% and got TX to the left of AZ and LA looked about right.

[Maxwell]

Obvious disclaimer: JUNK!

lol this looks like one of Dick Morris' 2008 maps. hilarious!

[mencken]

I thought Reuters was a good pollster...?

By definition 2 out of every 50 polls is going to have a result outside of the margin of error of the actual result. If we assume a sample size of ~350 (which seems typical for a medium-sided state in these polls), then a fair amount of these polls should be 5% or further from the actual result, with smaller states even less precise.

[Maxwell]

ignores 50 other polls that say otherwise




HEY WEIRD OUTLIER SAYS +14 IN NEW HAMPSHIRE FOR TRUMP, LET'S HAVE A MISPLACED THREAD ABOUT IT.

don't be such an idiot dude.

[Beezer]

I think most of their state polls have a sample size of a dozen or so people.
