Was not a 1325 sample size. As already stated, they threw out over half the survey for being invalid.

They did not poll registered republicans by their own admission by saying they used those who "identified with or leaned republican". Which is a big difference.

And they do not state in any way the metrics of the poll satisfactorily. You polled based on ratios of sex, age etc... based on your initial 1325. Which you threw out more than half of.


The poll is beyond flawed and if you have a masters in stats and can't conclude that then I am baffled.


I didn't read the entire poll so I don't know about any sampling biases like age or something. But if you think 1325 is not large enough of a sample (which i believe you said), then you are being ignorant. Which was what you are originally saying. You are kinda backtracking here because you went from "too small" to "well its this thing".

I was talking specifically about sample size. Yes, 1325 (and even only half or whatever crap you are claiming) is large enough.

The poll literally states they used responses from 650 respondents while claiming a 1325 sample size and corresponding ages to america from aforementioned 1325 which is invalid to the 650.

I never once mentioned 1325. I said the sample size was too small. And, I was referring to 650. The poll has a ton of problems with it.

You can't claim whatever percent of Republicans would do this in this scenario due to this poll when you didn't even confirm registered Republicans nor when your sample size possibly does not even correspond to the metrics when you made the whole size correspond and threw out over half of it.
