Why Political Polling May Be Worse Than Ever This Year (video)

Here's Why Political Polling May Be Worse Than Ever:

Pollsters have had a rough few years. Their predictions were far off the mark in the 2014 U.S. congressional elections. They got the Scottish independence referendum wrong and they missed outcomes in a number of other elections and referendums, including Brexit, across the globe. Polling has never been an exact science, but it's gotten worse says Bloomberg.com. Bloomberg QuickTake looks at why in the above video published Oct 6, 2016.

Watch LIVE or replay the final 2016 presidential debate Wednesday, October 19, 2016, 9:00 - 10:30 pm EDT, between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump free online. And remember, the only poll that counts is November 8th.

Where the presidential race stands today: The USC Dornsife / Los Angeles Times poll | LATimes.com: Hillary Clinton 43.3% ; Donald Trump 44.9% as of Oct. 18, 2016

White House Watch | RasmussenReports.com Oct 18, 2016: "Eighty-five percent (85%) of voters say they are now sure how they are going to vote, and among these voters, Clinton and Trump are dead even at 47% apiece. Johnson gets five percent (5%) support, Stein two percent (2%). Among voters who still could change their minds, it’s Clinton 37%, Trump 30%, Johnson 26% and Stein seven percent (7%)."

This @cnn poll is a joke: "58% percent of debate watchers said they were supporting Clinton before the debate. https://t.co/5zGTaWpc1b"

LIVE Now, US Senate Debate on NSA Surveillance, Patriot Act, Video Link

UPDATE: Rand Paul Will Force Patriot Act Provisions to Expire: "... invoking cloture on the first vote is just the first step of many, with the clock ticking. That cloture vote merely sets up another vote on proceeding to the bill. There are up to 30 hours of debate in order after the first cloture vote, before voting on the motion to proceed to the bill, of which Paul is entitled to one. If no one else joins Paul [note: other Senators have now joined Rand Paul, including Democrat Senators Wyden and Heinrich], in chewing up floor time with hour-long speechifying, the Senate could then vote on adopting the motion to proceed Sunday evening. But without Paul’s consent the programs in question would go dark because McConnell would still have to file a cloture motion to end Paul’s filibuster of the bill itself. And that vote, under the rules, wouldn’t occur until 1 a.m. Tuesday at the earliest. Under the rules, cloture motions must sit through an intervening day, which would be Monday if McConnell were able to move to cut off debate on a bill on Sunday. Following that 1 a.m. Tuesday cloture vote, again assuming all possible speed, Paul would be entitled to chew up another hour talking on the floor. That’s with maximum speed. If Paul finds an army of senators backing his filibuster, the process would take even longer due to the 30-hour rule..."

This is it. This is when we #EndThisDragnet, when we stop mass surveillance. Stand with us to #Fight215 https://t.co/tdNACeO7Vw
