PPP Poll: Trump is less popular than lice, root canals, Nickelback.

Did not realize there were so many left wing masochists...but honestly i'm not surprised in the slightest.

Someone failed statistics class. The minute you said "leftist" your argument was invalid.

Lol. There are so many things you can criticize about polling methods, but only people who failed statistics think 1000 is too small of a sample size.

You're talking about a Republican eventual nominee. 99.9% of dems will vote "Trump is worse than anything and everything". This isn't coca cola vs pepsi. Glad you two are so smart though. Cuz fuck logic amirite?

You don't have any logic.

It's cool to hate Nickelback. Just like it's cool to hate and insult the Trump.

Nono.
Nickelback used to be a mild grunge rock band, they turned into a ballade pop rock group.
D. Trump used to be a rich moron on TV that we made fun of. Now he's got a chance to becoming the most powerful person in the world! Also he is a raging racist, dicriminant against a whole load of people, openly says he'd date his daughter AND in general a very childish person.

You did fuck logic, alright. None of the 5 sentences here address the two main complaints, which is that 1,000 is not a small sample size, and that the political orientation of the polling agency does not by itself matter.

You could have questioned whether the sample was representative (i.e. was the sample actually random), you could have questioned if the methods introduced any systematic bias (they could have only called landlines, and maybe people with only cell phones give different results). You could have questioned the wording of the questions themselves, as that can influence people's choices.

Instead, you complained about two things that don't actually matter to the statistics. And when people rightly pointed that out, you respond as if your post was somehow logical. It's not.

I stand by my point: It's cool to hate what other people are hating.

Lol, Trump has record breaking votes. Sure, your poll is probably biased, but whatever, I'll trust the real American voter.

Also, I'll just leave this here. Have fun voting for her.

looks like a draenei to me.

So it's fine in your eyes that a racist person that wants to brand and kick out certain people from a country is your countrys leader? They thought the same thing in Germany in the 30's...

Is it racist to want to "brand and kick out" illegal immigrants? That's new to me.

Well golly, its almost like liberals don't hate rich people, whites, nor christians!

Nickelback has a few decent songs.

If Everyone Cared, Rockstar and How You Remind Me are good songs.

I prefer Skillet to Nickelback though (although they are two different genres).

Oh, get real. You act as if this poll actually had any meaning whatsoever. Not only isn't it anywhere near as clever as you seem to imagine, it's not even original. it's just one of many "copycats" from an old poll which asked men whether they would rather watch the Tv show, "Touched by an Angel" or have a root canal. Of course, the men overwhelmingly responded with their preference for root canal.

And if a liberal polling company asked this question of 1000 liberal college students, yes, that absolutely would make a difference, and you know it.

As far as the condescending superiority attitude regarding knowledge of statistics goes, in my advanced statistics college class, out of over 40 students who started that class, less than 10 of us made it all the way through, and I made the only A. I have retained about as much of all that wonderful statistical knowledge I learned, as I remember of the 4 years of Spanish classes I took -- meaning, almost none.

Sounds legit.

Ahhhhh, ok, that makes sense

Nickelback's best song.

You're my new favorite.

You're first paragraph is essentially a complaint about the questions asked in the poll. Which, as I outlined in the post you quoted, is a legitimate complaint. Your second one conflates the 1000 sample size issue with the biased sample issue. Again, I pointed out that questioning how representative the sample is, is also a valid complaint. The sample size is not a valid complaint though.

With that in mind, you really didn't respond to my post. I'm pointing out that the guy whining about sample size should be going with the complaints you outlined here instead of the dumb complaints.

The zooming in on the face is just the finishing touch that makes it perfect.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, and if the poll didn't come out the way they wanted, all they'd have to do is not report the results of the poll, or simply go for as many "do overs" as it took, until they got the results they wanted.

Of course I've also noticed that in everyone these "copycat" polls that I've ever seen, the vast overwhelming majority have always expressed a preference for root canal.

And sample size was just 1 of the complaints. I also noticed you conveniently ignored the rest.

What others? I've talked about the 'liberal polling agency', I've talked about the two you presented in your previous response to me. I'm not ignoring anything, but I keep getting the distinct feeling that you aren't reading my posts. Because your responses read like responses to 'my side' and not to me.
