Uruguayan pollsters again seem to have missed their target regarding estimate results of Sunday's legislative and presidential elections: the ruling Broad Front coalition presidential candidate Tabare Vazquez took a strong lead in the exit polls, and although he will be forced to a run-off with runner up Luis Lacalle Pou as anticipated, the percentage numbers indicate he should be able to achieve a comfortable win at the end of November, contrary to what was forecasted.

Exit polls are not a result, for all sorts of reasons the people questioned lie and the same is true of the polls themselves.

Another truism concerns the skewing of the poll by the methods used by the lazy pollsters (happens in the UK also) when all they do are some on the ground interviews in shopping malls and highly trafficked areas in cities, coupled with phone polls.

Two questions:
1) even seen really poor people in the shopping centres of PdE and MVD?
2) how many poor people have a landline to their shack?

Clearly the handouts to the lazy bastards works: they vote for The Broad Fraud.

The real poll is in November.

Anyone can opine on anything. Unless you live in North Korea or somewhere similar.

I think Polly is about to fall off his perch as he is showing signs of early-onset dementia brought about by the realisation that his future has just gone down the toilet.

But hey, that's just me 'opining'.

See what I did there? And I can't even vote in TDC!

Simples!

I don't think you are the original Guzz / Stevie.

He had much better command of the English language.

“Even if the Colorado's go all out pink, together they don't reach FA to the knees.” WTF does that mean?

@ 7 Lunatic

Do you imagine I gave anything for your 'advice'?

Or is the present incarnation of 'Stevie' another one of your sock puppets?
