Polls only predict well in places where you don't need polls... hence their 78% success rate. What is their rate in closer elections? Likely right at 50%...useless.
"Polls have “called” elections correctly 78 percent of the time" according to that article. Just because they are more accurate than in another time frame does not mean they are accurate overall. This is an incredibly poor rate in the larger picture. Independent groups are notoriously hard to poll and they are the ones that decide elections. If it's a landslide then of course the poll will be correct. Completely unreliable in close elections. However they make excellent time filters for news networks.
Many people are saying if it had been Trump he would have gotten the hostages out in 24 hours. It would have been a perfect operation. The best you've seen.
It's possible that they are not flagrantly killing civilians in that manner but are just looking the other way more than they might normally do because they are Palestinians and care less about collateral damage due to race.
I thought he was saying Deal... as in deal with it. But it was Deal... as in ok I'm in.
Edit: From the downvotes I'm thinking a lot made the same mistake?
