| Feb 15, 2017 at 4:32 | comment | added | user35734 | @DavidRicherby the LA poll ended up being the most inaccurate of all the major polls. It was something like 5 points off of the popular vote. While I think it's interesting to track the same group of people and the data is probably useful to analyze, it was in no way accurate. | |

| Nov 10, 2016 at 10:49 | comment | added | David Richerby | The article you link explains why tracking the same group of people can actually be a good thing. Note also that the most famous of these polls, for the LA Times, was consistently saying that Trump would do better than everyone else said. And, hey, look! Trump did better than everyone else said. | |
