I don't see why he's so scared, to be honest. It's not like anybody's going to send him anthrax.

[Eraserhead]

So basically some random guy just decided to become (or pretend to be) a pollster. Okay.

Probably the same people that Trump's talking about when he says he has a lot of Muslim and Mexican friends.

Overtime Politics is using Muslim Mexican labor?

That's oddly specific, considering there's probably only about a thousand or so Muslims in Mexico.

That's what it sounds like to me too. He might've gotten help from a few friends, but that's it.

I expected Missouri to be somewhat close due to it being almost entirely white outside of its most urban areas, but this close?!? Wow, Go Sanders!

No, it's not this close, unless a real pollster says so.

Are all Hillary supporters obnoxious hacks?

[Lief 🗽]

Any poll that doesn't weigh by demographics (much less ask about them lol) is going to dramatically undercount minority voters. In minority-heavy primary electorates, like Missouri, this is going to disproportionately hurt Clinton.

I've met obnoxious Hillary supporters and obnoxious Bernie supporters. However, Atlas has many, many more obnoxious Hillary supporters than obnoxious Bernie supporters.

They use projection all the time when they talk about the Sanders campaign. A lot of them are right on most issues but come across as dicks. I support Bernie but i have never been up his ass as much as the Clinton supporters in here.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

There are hacks on both sides, clearly.

But vague generalisations about entire groups of people are really not helpful. Like it or not, most of us are actually on the same side, supporting one candidate does not make one a hack just because you might not understand why. Saying a clearly dodgy pro-Sanders poll is trash is not hackery, saying a dodgy poll might be legit because you like/dislike the outcome is.

I've always said that I respect Sanders and his role in this campaign, but I'm pretty clear that I support Hillary more and why. That doesn't mean I'm some closet right-winger, I'm very clearly a progressive and while not perfect, Hillary is my choice. Cutting through some of this personal bull**** will make life a lot easier for everyone when unity is required to defeat anyone from one of the most deranged and disconnected GOP fields in history. We cannot depend on the GOP picking a lunatic to just hand a rare third-term to whomever the Democrat is

This is very close to the Remington poll....I think we should give Overtime a chance, if it's wrong that's the worse that can happen.

I think the general rule around here is to give all new pollsters a chance, but be highly skeptical/critical of their practices and methodologies and so far, their methodology is garbage, it seems that any connection between the reality of the situation and this guy's numbers are coincidental.

If it's right, then we take them seriously next time. Until they have any kind of track record to judge, I'm personally giving them a chance to prove themselves.

[ProgressiveCanadian]

It seems as though the Republican polls on here are pretty normal but the democratic numbers are insane....hmmm...I would however like to get another polling organization to agree. If the Republican nominee is Trump there no question Hillary would perform less then Sanders. The only thing trump has in his back pocket is anti-establishment and if Hillary is the nominee he will use that. What can he even use on Sanders that he's a socialist? He's a clown and people would probably rather vote for Bernie.

[Ebsy]

I've met obnoxious Hillary supporters and obnoxious Bernie supporters. However, Atlas has many, many more obnoxious Hillary supporters than obnoxious Bernie supporters.

Could you provide a list of both so we can quantify how many is "many more?"

You for starters with your obvious hackishness.
