      Hundreds of RTs based on 2 cases out of sample of 12. Journalists should not talk about polls/percentages without understanding statistics.https://twitter.com/sarahkendzior/status/792729037793734661 …

      Support for David Duke in Louisiana highest among Jill Stein fans by far. 17% of Stein fans support Duke vs 2% of Clinton or Trump fans. pic.twitter.com/89WXFYGcJL

      I have been repeatedly asked to delete an article about this data. This article doesn't exist. Nor does tweet refer to national data

      And I'm telling you two cases out of twelve is not data; it is indistinguishable from zero. There is no "data" there.

      The re-emergence of Duke on national stage, backed by disparate parties, in context of mainstreaming of extremism, should be studied

      Sure. You can have an opinion on Duke/Stein & study it. But this poll makes no such connection. 2 is statistically same as 0.

      I'm making no claim on Duke or Stein. My point is statistics. Surveys work on a very specific theorem; with margin of error.

      With two cases, you are well within margin of error of zero. There is no way to make claim of anything. This is statistics.

          My spouse had a good anecdotal explanation: "boy, they REALLY want to burn the house down!"
