And, No, Trump's Endorsement Didn't Raise Support for Luther Strange

The White House pointed us to a news release from Emerson College’s polling unit, which conducted several polls of the Alabama contest.

[...]

The lines from the news release don’t provide as much support as Trump seems to think they do.

For starters, there’s some question whether a four-point gain merits the label "MANY" -- or whether it’s even mathematically significant, given that the poll had a five-point margin of error.

If it had a 5-point margin of error, 4 points equals zilch.

Indeed, if you look at the actual ballots cast -- the only vote that really counts -- Moore ended up outpacing Strange by an even wider margin in the runoff.

"Moore’s edge over Strange grew from six points in the first round to nine in the second, so the actual votes suggest that Trump did not help Strange close the gap on Moore," said Kyle Kondik, an analyst at the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics.

Another brag that was just a lie.

And after that, he whine-tweeted that the networks weren't reporting that "alternate fact" when they reported on the election.



...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
