Biggest pile of junk I've ever seen. Their sample is 56% male, which I guess is one of the perils of online polling. Amazing that they don't have Trump up with crossstabs that favorable.

Complete junk. Nate Silver is stupid to add these IMO

Trump +9 in FL
Clinton +17 in KS
Clinton going from tied in AK to down 26, neither of which are right

A waste of bandwidth

Oh my god, look at those sample sizes :O

Releasing a crosstab with fewer than 100 respondents is stupid. This is even moreso.

Silver's whole #AllDataPointsMatter nonsense is getting out of control. Adding obvious junk polls under the presumed assumption that an equally polarizing and junkish poll will come along later to balance out the overall result is silliness.

Yup. His attitude to the hilarious LA/USC poll is really off the mark. I don't care whether you're comfortable with it being odd as if people concerned about that poll are putting Silver's needs first.

I disagree. He's using them to tack onto a blended sample of data for the state when he runs his projections. He's well aware of the MOE and the tendency for the poll in isolation to be suboptimal, especially with the tiny sample sizes.

The polls are instructive as data points when added to other data points and probably more instructive than Reuters/Ipsos and Washington Post/Survey Monkey as the data is over a week span as opposed to a 1-3 week span (Reuters), or 4 week span (SM).

You could recreate a more representative sample by compounding the surveys into 1, 2, 3 week surveys if you wanted to like Reuters and SM does.

You can likely extrapolate the Reuters/Ispos numbers over a week if you wanted to at this point, but solely if you had access to the underlying data. Reuters doesn't give us this. Google does, down to the individualized weights of the individualized survey respondent.

There are, but they "removed" them.

But I agree: all those 50-state online polls seems to have problem with weightening and too small samples. They are may be usefull for complex models, but they are not for average users.

Question for people who know things about polling: I see that "Somewhat likely" voters are given no weight; is this a normal setup for a LV screen?

What makes the sources "junky" to you? Obviously, internet polling is more experimental right now, but it's more likely than not the wave of the future.

These numbers are helpful as data points in poorly polled states, if you put them in aggregate with the other polls of the state. I could see how Silver would use them. If you add the four weeks, you're no different than the Reuters or Survey Monkey polls and have something which, if blended together, can get you a decent poll.

Depending on the pollster, "somewhat likely" is somewhat unlikely to make the cut.  Some pollsters include only "certain to vote", others may include "very likely" as well.

There are a bunch of crappy polls floating around, however Texas does appear to closer than in quite a few GE cycles, and RI will likely swing Republican this year in a State that when heavily Bernie in the primaries (yuuuge upset) with a fairly dovish political history, large population of European Ethnic backgrounds, historical large manufacturing sector that has vanished over the past 30-40 years, and additionally has the largest population of both Catholics and Italian-Americans in the country, that Trump would be doing relatively well against a Democrat that still has a fairly Hawkish Foreign Policy reputation, a strong history of being a "Free Trade" Democrat, in a state that is one of the last remaining "New Deal Democrat" states in the nation.

Although, I don't believe that Hillary win will Texas, nor will Trump win Rhode Island, I do expect significant swings in both states this November.

I think the theory is that people tend to lie about these things, overstating their likelihood to vote. So far from everyone who says "I'll definitely vote" does and those who are only somewhat likely are actually very unlikely.

Not at all. Data is data. You don't throw it out because you don't think it's right. It's given a low weight in the database because of the small sample sizes. He throws out polls that are believed to be fake, but not polls that are real with seemingly strange results. If you can't understand the rationale in this, well I'm sorry. But that's problem with you and your understanding of statistics, rather than with Nate and his application of it.

I was one of the first to call out discredited fraud Nate Silver.

You discredited yourself by pretending to love Trump for the better part of a year.

As I posted on another thread:

"Emerson is best consumed in a 12 ounce can of generic crap lukewarm beer that is quickly guzzled down with frequent attempts to swallow, while the brain and body are basically rejecting the entire contents of the can."

I will happily throw Google Consumer Surveys into the mix of lukewarm swill, but in this case might need to consume a two or three day old Mickey's or Old English, that has a slightly higher alcohol content but is so stale tasting and crappy to end view this with any type of reputability.

The state-by-state breakdown would actually make perfect sense in an election where the GOP was making historic inroads among black voters, while Democrats improved significantly with whites (both college and non-college educated). Trump does better than you'd expect in all the states with more blacks and underperforms in all the whiter states. Of course this is not happening so what is more likely is that GCS is overpolling white liberals and underpolling minorities.

so limitations of locating IP addresses would explain why the state by state breakdown is complete junk - in particular Kansas, as if the location of an IP address is unknown it might be assigned to the geographic centre of the US, in Kansas - this has caused problems before, including this (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-37048521)

http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/is-a-50-state-poll-as-good-as-50-state-polls/

As Nate Silver explained before, state-specific poll is better than a huge national poll that surveyed all 50 states and gives the state result separately.

One potential problem being:
Oregon whites are more liberal than the average whites in America.
Mississippi whites are more conservative than the average whites.

If you try to weigh Google Survey to match the national average white's probability of voting R and D, it would likely overestimate Mississippi's Democrats share and underestimate Oregon's Democrats share. But these kinds of things cancel each other in a holistic national sample.

State-specific polls are useful in the sense that they can focus on that one specific state's race, age, gender, and education.

That's probably why we see some odd things like Hillary being up in red states and Trump being up in blue states.

Or DC or the midwest.

These polls are basically 4-question polls and look at geolocation to determine where the voter is going to vote, which is why for a while, they got terrible results in DC.

Obviously 2 of the 50 polls should fail as a matter of science at 95% confidence and some of the MOEs are gigantic (especially in the smaller states), which make these polls dicey.


Title: UT - Google Consumer Surveys: TIE!
Post by: Simfan34 on October 11, 2016, 07:10:49 PM

Caveat emptor, but still...

Quote
After Sunday’s debate, I commissioned a Google Consumer Surveys poll of the presidential race in Utah. The results show a very close three-way race between Trump, Clinton, and Evan McMullin.

Right now, almost none of the Utah political establishment has endorsed a candidate. Mitt Romney, Sen. Mike Lee, Gov. Gary Herbert, and most other top officials are on the record opposing Trump at this point, but none of them publicly support another candidate. It seems to me that if any one of those three officials mentioned were to publicly endorse Evan McMullin, he would instantly become the favorite in Utah.

Gary Johnson continues to struggle in Utah. He places 4th by a sizable margin in this poll. While McMullin is unlikely to show anywhere near this much support in any other state, the growth of another third party candidate will make it much harder for Johnson to take a significant part of the Trump vote.

Hillary Clinton is likely to get about 30% of the vote in Utah. I can’t predict whether that will be enough for her to win, or put her in 3rd place in the state.

We should crowdfund a Google Consumer Survey for Kansas where the only question is "Are you from Kansas? Yes/No/Not Sure"

That would be interesting.  I would probably phrase it "Are you currently in Kansas?", and drop the Not Sure option.  GCS would probably make us add a "I prefer not to say" option, though.

Thinking about it, an actual state poll might not cause as many problems as a U.S. poll due to weighting.  My South Dakota poll was pretty evenly geographically distributed, at least in theory.  Now that all these IP addresses in the Washington Post Article resolve to a lake in Wichita, a statewide poll will probably only include so many of them before moving on to other parts of the state.  The Wichita sample might get skewed, but the rest of the state should be okay.

A nationwide poll (which is what the GCS 50-state surveys ultimately are based on) might not have as fine a geographical distribution - just being from "Kansas" might be good enough for a national poll, instead of them further breaking down Kansas into other areas.  And if more people with IP addresses from "Kansas" actually aren't from the state, their whole Kansas subsample would be off.

Google Consumer Survey's 10/20 results (click on the image for a larger view):

() (https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view&id=16361)

GCS seems to weigh their 50-state polls the same way they weigh the polls we've been conducting - by Internet users.  That's a bit bizarre for a poll of likely voters, but it is what it is.  As an experiment, I extracted the raw numbers and reweighted them according to the method amdcpus and I have been using to weight our GCS LV polls.  The Trump-Clinton margin raw data was, on average, 1.08 points more favorable to Trump, probably because GCS samples tend to be male-heavy.  The Trump-Clinton margin using the amdcpus method was, on average, 1.6 points more favorable to Trump, likely because younger voters are less likely to vote Trump, but get more heavily weighted in the GCS Internet User method.  Three states - Indiana, Pennsylvania and Maine - flipped to Trump as a result of the amdcpus method.

I didn't do this exercise to question the GCS polls.  As I've always said, polls are a snapshot of the electorate at a given point in time using the methodology that the particular pollster uses.  No more.  No less.  But how polls are weighted does matter.  Thus, any pollsters' polls are sometimes more useful in determining trends than anything else.

^^^ Out of curiosity, I threw all of those (approximate) margins into my popular vote spreadsheet. In the two-way model, Clinton leads in the PV by a little over 2 points.

Your maps have Kansas incorrectly colored.  GCS has Clinton up there, no matter how you weight them.

I made a systemic computational error with the LV margin.  (Fortunately, this is only an issue with this dataset, and not what I've weighted before).  Basically, I had the wrong formula in the female rows, and I didn't include the Female 18-24s while wrongly weighting the other Female age categories.  Fixing that issue lowered the average LV margin difference versus GCS Internet weighting to Trump +1.56.  Still a difference, but not as stark.  The same states flipped to Trump, but only barely.

Why are 50 state polls always complete junk?

Partly because they often have very small sample sizes in many states, and partly because any pollster crazy enough to conduct such a type of poll must be a bad pollster in the first place.

They also don't weight the polls for the electorate in all 50 states, just to Internet users nationally.

Google Consumer Survey's 10/25 Results:

This time, the margin in Google's model is only off the margin in the amdcpus LV model by an average 0.84 points.  The raw, unweighted results are off the Google model by 1.06 points.

This map would be the worst, because I would probably get really excited when the East came in, only to be stunned by the West!  But, maybe in real life, the Western Hillary supporters would stay at home because they saw results from the East.

IDK if those polls "skew" 538. The average of 538 is pretty similar to Upshot. It is the chances that so different (because of strong covariance and and assumed polling error.) If I am not wrong.

Ask Google Surveys.  They've chosen to release polls with 70 respondents, and 538 is including them in their models.  I only post what Google Surveys has reported.  The sample size is included as a column for a reason.

They're not all worthless.  Most state polls have sample sizes that are sufficient for a decent poll.  It's largely the polls in the 3-5 EV states that are sometimes dubious due to low sample sizes... and Kansas.  I still suspect Google Surveys has a problem resolving all the non-Kansan IP addresses that are geographically resolved to a lake near Wichita, Kansas.

The Google Survey polls Atlas users have commissioned in the 3-5 EV states are at least plausible because the sample size is larger.
