Caltrops - Balance of Power





	[quote name="Mischief Maker"][quote name="Newsweek on November 2nd"]Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, has a 1.7 -point lead over Republican Trump in Real Clear Politics’s daily average of most state and national polls.[/quote] <A HREF="https://www.newsweek.com/presidential-election-polls-november-2-clinton-trump-516230">https://www.newsweek.com/presidential-election-polls-november-2-clinton-trump-516230</A> Tiny single digit lead over Trump. That did make her more likely to win than Trump, and in their analysis you had pundits putting that likelihood to a percentage score, sometimes a really high one. Doesn't mean it's guaranteed, and a 1.7 point victory would hardly be a landslide. Meanwhile Politifact, by no means Sanders supporters, had an aggregate of polling during the primary (which I can't copy and paste, so click the link) where Sanders had a double digit lead over Trump in every single poll while "safer choice" Clinton was in the single-digits in the majority of polls. <A HREF="https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/may/29/bernie-s/bernie-sanders-says-he-polls-better-against-donald/">https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/may/29/bernie-s/bernie-sanders-says-he-polls-better-against-donald/</A> These goalposts are exactly where I had them when we started this argument, 12-year-old. When you get older, consider taking some statistics classes and learn the difference between terms.[/quote]
