That's it. Post a political poll. Just one. Could be on anything like policies, candidates, parties, Presidents. I prefer the source of the poll along with high level outcomes, but won't be upset as long as the source is available in some regard.
-----
The reason behind this is that I typically see threads of polls which support an author's perspective or fav candidate, but refrain when those same polls turn sour against the same. So I expect that people will post theirs and their opposition will post theirs and we may see the balance that exists more than not.
-------
I do encourage folks to go to sites like FiveThirtyEight.com and RealClearPolitics.com which do a fairly good job of collecting polls annd weighting them based on credibility. If, for no other reason than to see a good number of polls curated in one place.
-----
Please feel free to PM me with additional resources that you believe should be added here.
-----
Basic rules:
1. When possible, provide the originating source of the poll rather than articles referring to them. (I may follow up article posts with the originator from time to time - it's not meant to be a criticism or shit post).
2. If you can't provide the URL to your poll, it's your fault. "Google it" is not relevant.
My perspective is that polls be provided for objective information. Having your own commentary is fine, but this thread is meant to allow others to have their own perspective and therefore have access to the same originating data. Don't blame others if you can't understand this.
