>> According to a new national poll from the respected Public Policy Polling, republican nominee Donald Trump now has a ninety-seven percent unfavorable rating with African-Americans. Three percent aren’t sure, and zero percent have a “favorable” view of Trump. This data was first broadcast by Rachel Maddow during her MSNBC show on Monday evening. Detailed data sampling isn’t yet available, but considering the likely small sample size typically involved in these things, this probably isn’t a mere round-off to zero.

WTF does that even mean? PPP, a liberal polling operation, has outdone itself with this one. "Detailed data sampling isn't yet available?" How is that even a poll?

"Considering the small sample size typically involved in these things?"

Sample sizes are computed based on the confidence interval and margin of error you're trying to achieve.

This is a total BS post.
