[QUOTE=Lazor;38004129]yes thank you for making it easier to see my point

let's break this down:
The CNN Focus Group had 3 options to choose from. Biden, Ryan, and Nobody.

The Snap Poll had two.

You can't make a meaningful statement of accuracy between the two.[/QUOTE]

In comparison, the poll on Xbox Live had three options and Biden was the clear winner.

[Lazor]

anyways, CNN's poll has Biden within the MoE and CBS has Biden with a landslide

need. more. polls.

[Fhenexx]

[QUOTE=Medevilae;38004140]CNN poll now has Biden leading anyway so[/QUOTE]
That could change.

We best wait until the polls stabilize before we use them to figure out who won.

Good to know what all the 14 year olds think.

Yeah, if I wanted to know that, I'd just go on Facepunch.

Wait...

And yet you did. You said the numbers are "way different" when the numbers on the first indicate an exact tie, and the numbers on the second indicate an exact tie, within the margin of error.

And now Facepunch is asking for captchas?

[QUOTE=Laferio;38004011]to be honest, there was a clear sense of bias.[/QUOTE]

Oh my god why can't fox news just crawl up and die in a hole.
If fox news had a broadcasting station in Canada, they would be shut down.

CNBC results-
Paul Ryan: 56%, Joe Biden: 36%, Neither: 8%.

[JoeJohns]

I'm surprised that after all this "Oooooh Biden smoked Ryan" talk in this thread that the general public feels it was a tie or that Ryan won...

[Laferio]

I'm surprised polls are favoring Paul Ryan.

[Lazor]

jesus christ guys the CNBC thing is an online poll

"If you heard [the debate] on radio, Biden won. If you watched it on television, he lost." -Charles Krauthammer

I kind of have to agree on this one.

Ironically, just like the Nixon v. Kennedy debate back in 1960, the first televised debate.

[Lazor]

From the CNN poll page:

[quote]SPECIAL NOTE OF CAUTION #2: The sample of debate-watchers in this poll were 31% Democratic and 33% Republican. That indicates that the sample of debate watchers is about eight points more Republican than an average CNN poll of all Americans, so the respondents were more Republican than the general public.[/quote]

This election is just like Alien VS. Predator.

Whoever wins, the Middle Class loses.

It is a international forum. America is considerably more right wing than the rest of the world.

They were rejected from creating "Fox News North" because in Canada you aren't allowed to broadcast lies and fake news.

Or well, to put it more appropriately, the US is considerably more right-wing than Europe, Canada, Australasia, and parts of South America.

isn't this the exact situation we had with the pres debate

if it's really this close I'm going to kick back and wait a day or two, since opinions slowly leaked in different directions after people had time to review stuff more thoroughly. I'm still laughing about how much pure "what the fuck is this guy even SAYING" you could see in biden

speaking of which, ALL of the arguments I was hearing in the post-stream on youtube was "WOW biden was so rude he didn't let ryan speak at all wow he was SMILING HOW DARE HE OH MY GOD RYAN SHOULD JUST WIN BY DEFAULT"

holy shit did [I]nobody [/I]watch the presidential debate, or...

but yeah snap polls overall don't really matter in the context of the race. i'm still waiting for tuesday for things to level out a bit

[thisispain]

i personally thought biden was very amusing and i couldn't see myself acting differently in that situtation
