you think 5% is realistically achievable?

Sorry, I should have been clearer - my point (& what I think the article is good on) is: we shouldn't let that dissuade us!

I think it's reasonable to ask, if polls look bad for 5%, what will change to make them better.
-
perhaps ironically, "polls are self-fulfilling" is the OPPOSITE of the correct conclusion from primary season (think about it)
-
I'm not talking about the polls themselves; I'm talking about the interpretation of them as more or less an indicator of what's possible.
-
there's a lot of really good evidence about the range of expected polling misses as you get closer to an election.
-
do you have any cases at all of minor party candidates polling at ~2% a week out and then going on to capture 5%?
-
No, but there are examples of major polling errors. Also, I don't see the benefit of writing it off as an impossible outcome.
-
people should be honest about the range of available benefits and costs in their control.

Sure, & I said: I don't expect it, it's worth working towards still, & how likely it is doesn't affect what I'm going to do.
