The Tremendous Validity of On Line Polls

The Democrats have finished about a half hour of their three hour debate.  I'm not crazy -- I'm not watching.  I can only take so many giveaways and empty promise before I start getting sick.  No matter.  I happened upon the on-line poll run by the Drudge Report. Usually after a debate, they run a poll as to who won.  Thousands of people vote.  Well guess what?  With only about 15% of the debate completed, there are already 2000 votes cast.  Yang is way ahead with 46% of the votes cast.

It's just another indication of how little value should be given to polls.
