If You Laughed At Grok's Polling Claims:

Then you (raises hand) were correct to piss on his parade. I tried to tell Expresslane and Grok that they were offering rubbish as proof of...I'm not sure what?

[FONT=&quot]Despite the borrowed ABC/Washington Post branding, the consultant who conducted this research makes for a case study in shoddy methodological practices.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Even other pollsters have attacked the methods of this Abt Associates poll for ABC/Washington Post pointing out that it strangely included all adults in its sample of 1,006, rather than just registered voters, and that breaking out registered voters brings the sample down to an even smaller 900.

Furthermore, analysis of subgroups like young people, independents, Hispanics and Black Americans are so tiny they are not valid. Pollster [/FONT]Cornel Belcher[FONT=&quot] commented “The poll really is trash, and I don’t say that lightly because I’ve had respect for their polling in the past.”[/FONT]

I would go as far as to say they're meaningless one month from an election.

I believe millions of people lie to pollsters just to create false senses of security for the opposition.

Still, I always check sampling for any poll, and the above referenced polling is laughable.

Just what you expect from Grok and his sidekick Expresslane.

Polling companies release polls way too early to create relevance. They have to justify their existence.

That's why sampling is fascinating. You can create a poll that gives you any result you want.

I laugh at Grok everything, so it was no different.

That's a given.

But I found it equally amusing that Express chimed in with a defense of the poll.

They'd call the poll a fraud if it swung the other way. It's what they do.
