Talk:Nationwide opinion polling for the 2016 United States presidential election

Graphs not labelled
These graphs have no x-axis numbering, which makes them close to useless. Whoever created them, please add x-axis numbering. Ordinary Person (talk) 04:39, 6 November 2017 (UTC)


 * As the user above pointed out, the graphs that are present are useless due to lack of x-axis. They're also low-relevance for other reasons: the only graphs presently shown are head-to-head matchups of Sanders-vs-Trump (who never actually competed against each other) and H Clinton vs J Bush (who also never competed against each other. Glaringly missing is a graph of opinion polls of Clinton vs Trump during the general election. In absence of that much more relevant visual, I'm deleting these graphs that are less relevant and malformed. 209.6.127.11 (talk) 17:08, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

electoral college?
Why are nationwide poll results compared with the electoral college result on this article? Nationwide voting preferences have no bearing on the state level results or the electoral college result. This is unscientific and misleading. I am rectifying this unless someone can provide the rationale. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Short final (talk • contribs) 21:57, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what you mean by "compared". If you mean the presense of the last row at Nationwide opinion polling for the United States presidential election, 2016 then I wouldn't call it a comparison and I oppose removal. It is interesting information. PrimeHunter (talk) 22:05, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Graphical representation
Why are the two graphical representations comparing (Jeb) Bush and (Hillary) Clinton, and Sanders and Trump? For that matter, why are the three-way, four-way, and historical polls included under that section? This section is extremely poorly formatted. Rdf7 (talk) 03:14, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

Graphical summaries
Why are there graphs showing Trump v Sanders and Clinton v Bush when only two of these were nominee? I’m unclear why this section is supposed to be illustrating or summarising. I think it should be expanded/clarified or removed, because it the moment it confuses rather than explains. Cripipper (talk) 06:29, 14 June 2020 (UTC)


 * I would assume those were polls from before the nominees were chosen. If those graphs are going to be included, the X-axis should be labeled and a source should be provided for the data. —Granger (talk · contribs) 11:25, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
