2016 Iowa Caucus Thread

[Harry96]

CNN: 43% reported being first-time caucus-goers.

Entrance polls are pretty accurate.

 

[HarryBrowneLives]

Faux will do anything to screw us

 

[mit26chell]

K so we're toast? What a fucking crock of fucking shit.

 

[CPUd]

Do entrance polls mean anything?

Sort of, but not really for a caucus setting. Depends on how many leaners were counted toward the candidates support.

 

[kbs021]

Entrance polls looking good on new voters. Ron won new voters last time. I don't expect them to help anyone other than Trump or Rand really.. about 5 percent higher than 2012.

Entrance polls are pretty accurate.

Not in 08.

 

[kbs021]

Anyone know how accurate they were in 2012? Entrance polls look kinda weird.

 

[HarryBrowneLives]

Yep. younger and newer the better 4 us

 

[CPUd]

Guys, there were a lot of people being called today who were still undecided and wanted to hear the speeches before voting.

 

[Harry96]

I've been cautiously optimistic at best. Un-polled young people were exactly what we hoped for with Ron's previous two campaigns, but as I recall the polls wound up being pretty accurate.

Entrance polls are pretty accurate.

Maybe for a primary, not for a caucus

It nailed the top 3 in a three way tie basically with Ron at 24%. Ron ended up at 21%.

Yeah, the good news is the entrance polls probably mean less with a caucus than with a primary.

 

[mit26chell]

Everyone please say a prayer for Paul and his camp. This is a pivotal moment.

 

[luctor-et-emergo]

Yeah, the good news is the entrance polls probably mean less with a caucus than with a primary.

Entrance polls with primaries are usually pretty damn accurate. Caucuses, not so much.

 

[liveandletlive]

rands a young guy, there'll be other chances.

 

[HarryBrowneLives]

in God's Hands now

 

[HarryBrowneLives]

yep
