Poll Fraud
Boomer | 8.21.16 | Self

Posted on 08/21/2016 2:37:14 PM PDT by Boomer

Just got a call from a poll taker who after 90 seconds and me answering their question of race (white) decided they have their quota of male answers. Total fraud. The poll taker knew I was male right from the beginning but it was only after I said I was white that she used the pretext of me being male to end the survey.

No it was probably because you said you were white.

That was my point...

I told them I was a Soviet Russian T-888 Terminator and I wanted to know if she was Sarah Connah.

It’s a partisan message disguised as a poll to shape public opinion.

In their “questionnaire”, they’ll give extensive negative information about one candidate, and positive information about the other candidate.

The biggest poll fraud is the Real Clear Politics average that the media is fond of quoting. The left has used this as a tool to denigrate Trumps popularity by commissioning unbalanced polls or registered voter polls by the dozen to offset any positive polls for Trump. Then they use these numbers to refute any positive news by Trump. Just look at the orgs that commission them.

With thefts of information on over 100 million people by GSA, Blue Cross Blue Shield and who know who else it is unwise to give yourself up to hackers.

Chances are it was a push poll rather than a legitimate survey.

That was my thought too. The first time I was ever called by a polling company, it was a push-poll. Sometimes Democrats are looking for Republicans who can be "pushed" into voting for their candidate, and are cataloguing the issues/strategies that seem to be successful in this effort.

In my case they were looking for Republican women ... only. A certain 'Rat candidate thought he might be able to trade on his "pro-choice" position with "moderate" Republican women, and siphon off that segment of the vote.

Well, I am a woman, but I am no moderate. The pollster was taken aback at my response to her question about abortion. She then proceeded to tell me how surprised she was that an "intelligent" woman like me could think that way.

That’s a very arrogant push-poller.

I usually turn it around and start asking them questions.

e.g.,
“Did you know that Obama said in 2008 that low-income
households in the US were hurt by illegal immigration? Don’t you think you should include this in your question?”

“Do you recall that Obama opposed health insurance mandates in the 2008 election? Why did he change his mind? Did mandates become more popular, or less popular over time?”

I just don’t let up until they make an excuse to drop the call. I want to demoralize these creeps.

Next time claim to be a Transgender Haitian immigrant that has converted to Islam and is harboring a family of illegals while volunteering at a local gun control advocacy group. They’ll probably send you money.

If you had told her that you were a gay male would she have hung up on you?

Racism. They are trying to manipulate the white vote because they know whitey is onto them.

What’s a push poll?

A poll worded to elicit a desired response.
