How the Republican quislings factor is skewing the polls

Last week, the Rasmussen poll-which the media says has a 3.1% bias in favor of Republicans-found Donald Trump leading Hillary Clinton by 7 points. And someone has forgotten to send instructions to the LA Times because their poll shows Trump leading by 3 points.

Three MSM polls have Donald Trump trailing Hillary Clinton by between 3 and 7 points.

Looking at the few internal numbers these polls provide makes one wonder how CNN reports Clinton up 49/42; NBC/ASJ Clinton up 46/41 and ABC/WaPo Clinton up 47/43.

These offerings beg the question: How did they arrive at these numbers? The answer seems to be the “quisling factor” among some Republicans.

Among NBC’s respondents 78% said the Republican Party is not unified. ABC/WaPo foundthat 54% of the Republicans responding wanted another candidate. If that doesn’t skew a poll what does? CNN was skewed by the same quisling factor.

It found 44% of Republicans would prefer another candidate and just 56% are happy with Trump as their nominee.

Nevertheless, last week ABC reported 56% of respondents said they would worry if Hillary Clinton was the president; and 56% think she should be indicted.

So 56% would worry about a President Clinton but she still leads in their polls. Adding to ABC’s tangled web, its poll shows a 47/43 lead for Clinton. But in spite of a 10 point over sample of Democrats...

We were told the polls were all fixed in 2008 and 2012. How did that workout?

[ChildOfThe60s]

The 2012 polls were not factoring in the massive Democrat voter fraud.

In spite of being a crap candidate, Romney would have won without the fraud.

We are now told that some Republicans are helping the pollsters by refusing to back Trump. That is the point of this article. Not polls are wrong because they under poll those who will support Trump and over poll his opponents, but because quisling Republicans are being childish.

That’s what i was thinking.

But half the polls then didn’t show the republican winning.

They do now. And she has no where to go but down if NJ is competitive, which it is.

I heard a lot of Puerto Ricans have moved to FL in the last four years. Why, I dont know. I just hope it’s not a large enough number to affect the state.

White men vote in YUGE number and the spread is 25, we win.

[stylin19a]

a lot these polls are different regarding people they call.

some call only registered voters.
some call only likely voters.

It seems a good many registered voter polls are for Hillary
a good many likely voter polls are for Trump.

what is the difference ? Independents ?

[Jim from C-Town]

Lots of Puerto Ricans moved to Florida because they are American citizens and Puerto Rico is a basket case welfare state with no jobs and no reason to be there.

[dp0622]

That’s it? All you have to do is move??

I didn’t know that!!

Not considered immigration??

wow!!

[Bruiser78]

We can’t rely on “the polls are fixed” standby. Are they skewed to create a pro-Dem narrative? Of course. I do believe millions of Christians stayed home or didn’t vote for Romney based on him being Mormon and more importantly, a weasel, as is now confirmed.

Gotta face facts, we have an uphill climb- if Trump takes back FL,OH,VA and throws in Iowa for good measure, we still only get to a narrow win with 272. The country is turning hard-left, due to millennial idiots... if Bernie had been 45 yrs old instead of 95 (and had a set of Trump-like balls, went after Hillary), he’d be Prez.

We’re headed for destruction, Trump is basically our last chance to stave it off for another decade or 2, mainly via the Supreme Court and immigration policy.

Careful. Republican voters absolutely, positively, unquestionably do NOT want to make this mistake ever again:

FReepers were posting this mouth-breather's delusional, innumerate rantings and ravings daily on this site, four years ago, swearing up and down blind that this was High Level, Weapons Grade TruMath.

Remember how that all ended up working out? Yeah, me too.

[GailA]

Who answers poll calls? I don’t, and if I did, I would not give them the answers they want. I hang up on the RNC orgs as I won’t give them a dime. I give to the candidate, I don’t want my $$ going to RINOS.

[xzins]

in the polling in Israel, Great Britain, and Kentucky all had issues. Many attribute the inaccuracies of the polls to New Media, and the pollsters not being able to find a way yet to deal with non-responders and those who use New Media.

Demographics certainly play a big role, but couple that with problems in data collection to begin with and there really are issues that should concern people.

[Jim Robinson]

Go, Trump, GO!!

[DPMD]

Just a cultural note: I no longer use the pejorative “quisling” to describe a treasonous collaborator; I use the updated “Comey.”

[CARTOUCHE]

Why? Do you hate Norwewgians?

[CARTOUCHE]

Norwegians?

'piasa' opined:

It’s amusing to see a person calling other people childish when his candidate speaks like a 4th grader.

That's YOUR opinion, which doesn't amount to squat.

Your candidate’s intellectual assaults on his opponents consist of little more than labelling them “poopy-heads.” The majority of voters are likely 4th grade level, too

But not you, you're an intellectual giant, in fact I'll bet your last Chinese fortune cookie told you that.

So I get what he’s trying to do

No you don't. Your credentials in the 'Hate Trump' clan were established long ago.

Pray that your candidate can successfully wrest enough of this traditionally Democrat demographic away to make a difference without his supporters salting our fields more than they already have.

You mean making sure there is some sort of conservative safe space left for the likes of George Will, Erick Erickson, Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, Romney, Bush, Mike Lee, and the rest of that pack of RINOs?

Don't worry about it. If those clods and their ilk never come back, it will be absolutely NO loss.

The only saving grace is that the latest of the Dems’ dullest demographic’s dangerous antics have made our dullards look smarter and safer by comparison.

And I'm sure those 'RAT 'dullards' appreciate you doing their work for them.

Now wise up, Freddie's talkin' to ya:

Nope. They are already American Citizens and are free to move to the mainland at any time. Puerto Rico is an American Protectorate and its’ citizens are American Citizens.
