Stats Of The Week: A Very Bad, Sad Poll About Lawyers & The Election

Let us know if you find a more wrong thing anywhere.

stat imageWell, one of the many things we learned this week is how practically all the pollsters and their fancy data models turned out to be inaccurate to the point of being worse than useless. But here at ATL, we managed to underperform them all. Some readers might recall that we ran a little “Electoral Law School” survey on the site on Tuesday. Sure, lawyers and law students are hardly representative of the populace generally. And perhaps our little exercise was not a model of scientific rigor. But we did take steps to prevent ballot stuffing and our sample size was decent, with 2,000 responses. So our final tally was simply breathtaking in its irrelevant bubbliciousness:

Clinton: 78.07%
Trump: 10.72%
Johnson: 10.13%
Stein: 1.07%

Let us know if you find a more wrong thing anywhere.
