Beware the predictable polling onslaught to paint the potemkin village
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | 07/28/2016 | sundance

Posted on 08/04/2016 7:08:24 AM PDT by ctpsb

"The corporations who have a vested interest in manufacturing the Potemkin village have their collected pollsters armed with fresh paint to create the optics of a “historic” surge in polling upon the conclusion of the Democrat National Party Convention in Philadelphia."

This paint job has been planned for weeks, if not months.

You can count on a manufactured corporate-media pretense to deliver a carefully scripted narrative giving Hillary Clinton a post convention bounce around 10 to 15 points (+/- 3)." -- July 28th, 2016

Even Manafort was a bit off his game this morning on CBS, not as convincing and reassuring as usual.

Oh, but according to them we’re all cheerleaders, and blind to the truth Trump is toast! The media is going all out so early to discourage us, influence the fence sitters, and wrap up the election in August because they have a weak candidate to protect in Hillary.

It was immediately apparent to me the lie that was being promulgated by the leftist media. There is no way in hell that a lesser attended, lesser watched DNC convention reases a 5 point lead and in essence swings voter intentions by 14 points which is what is being claimed.

The GOP convention ran without incident, it had minor stuff happen internally, not so for the DNC which had disruption and major internal turmoil. In addition the DNC convention was not watched as much as the GOP. So, to inflate its tepid impact was completely suspect from the start.

Now, the establishment liberal progressive GOP is starting to help Hillary. The fiction that they will constantly bray about will be that Trump is “unstable” or has “mental health” issues, all part of their plan. Every media outlet will trumpet it for them and not once question the person making the charge.

This site is amazing. They have accurately, and I mean accurately (within decimal point fractions) predicted final #s in three previous races. This is a better record than any polling organization.

They have Trump at a slight .5 cumulative lead. They don’t have him leading in every poll, and frankly a couple of them I’m surprised they have closer. But still, generally these lines comport with my gut feeling about where these polls are.

Oh I agree with you that’s why I posted this article to hopefully have everyone calm down.

I think the Kahn family issue is overblown, taken out of context and will be forgotten, soon. Also, the RINOs are showing their true allegiances by even entertaining the ideas of our toxic enemy Obama regarding the eligibility of Trump. What about the eligibility of Obama? Hillary? And I am really starting to suspect the polling done by everyone, including FOX News, is all manipulated. (I suspect like our FBI director, now Fox news has been gotten to. There has been a recent change in the political winds recently at Fox)

Think about what preceded this anti trump onslaught; the hoped for bump in the polls after Hildabeast nomination, and the reaction to Brexit, FBI confirmation in one case and suspicion in several others going back decades of lying and potential of a coverup involving several investigations, and email hacks from wiki leaks confirming all our worst suspicions.

I see desperation with the Dems, and the media is almost indistinguishable from the DNC platform.

Hillary may still win, but it will be by nefarious means, but if it is Trump who wins the democrats and the media will be at the brink of insanity, if not over the edge entirely, like Thelma and Louise holding hands in the convertible over the cliff. Their agony will be glorious!

The moderate Republicans are not supporting Trump. The media onslaught has been effective in painting Trump as crazy so they've bailed. Also while Trump picked up the Conservative women's groups for a bit after the convention they've gone back being against Trump. The primary issue here is respectability not positions on the issues.

In my opinion, polls must be “own use”. They can’t sell data collected. All polls are issued as propaganda for their organization.

A law for “own use” would dry up 80% of them. Total bullshit. I don’t pay any attention to them. It’s a cancer on the American population.

Democrats are absolutely scared by Trunp

That is why they are trying to get the GOP to pressure him to drop out

If he was a sure loser they wouldn’t want a replacement

But they know he will obliterate Hillary in the debates and attack her where any other wuss GOP candidate wouldn’t

It also provides the notoriously lazy MSM with clickbait.

Absolutely agree.

Trump may or may not be a behind or ahead in the polls but they obviously don’t want to face him for the next three months.
