The projections made by 538 and outlets like NYT and Huffpo are not poll results; they're based on formulas that take aggregated poll results into account. A poll =/= a polling average =/= a projection Probability is probability. FiveThirtyEight gave Trump a 28.6% chance of winning, which is equivalent to a .286 hitter's chance of getting a hit in any given at bat. It's about 2 in 7 I think they think the 72\28 was supposed to be an actual poll and not a % chance to win, lol --- Formerly known as The_Great_Geno Conservatism is a plague on society. <cite>Genocet_10-325 posted [p:896504312] in New poll s...
