CBS pollster using deceptive tactic to pad Clinton numbers

CBS released two battleground state polls today, one from Pennsylvania and one from North Carolina. Both polls showed a Clinton lead, +8 in Pennsylvania and +4 in North Carolina. Looks good for Hillary, right? At first blush, yes. But these are just registered voter polls, which always favor Democrats and do not predict the result on election day.

To my great surprise, in both polls 1100 registered voters were interviewed. And in both polls, the CBS pollster assumed a 99% voter turnout rate!

Fake it, No one sees. So, its OK,

I don’t trust any of the networks but SeeBS has zero credibility with me. Rather and his pranks destroyed CBS. Zero cred. Cronkite didn’t help much either. IMHO.

[Rebel2016]

They’re playing pre-game for the November fraudulent election.

[sargon]

In both polls 1100 registered voters were interviewed. And in both polls, the CBS pollster assumed a 99% voter turnout rate!

So they asked FOUR questions before the Presidential Preference question.

So, anyway, in that garbage poll they had it Clinton 46, Trump 42, with a +-4% MOE. SO Trump is well within the MOS on this poll.

As for Pennsylvania, they have it Clinton 45, Trump 37 with +- 4.1% MOE. Again, Trump is within the MOE.

Asking OTHER questions before asking the Presidential Preference question utterly negates any notion that the survey is a "random sample".

If these are the types of polls that are being used to manipulate public opinion, then the public should be well-informed that such polls have little significance other than pure entertainment value.

Vote Trump!

PA D+10 sample in Udontgov/SeeBullsh** poll. Does anyone seriously believe Hillary’s turnout will match Obama

[goldstategop]

99%? In the last presidential election, turnout was 53%!

This a garbage push poll. They know the math is impossible.

But they like to sell the fantasy Hillary will win even though that’s not true in reality.

[goldstategop]

No a D +8 turnout is pure fiction.

I think it was D +4 in 2012.

Hillary is not going to get near anywhere those kind of numbers.

And since they’re polls of registered voters, they’re meaningless.

[Finalapproach29er]

See B. S.= CBS

It’s all about Pennsylvania. imo

[jazminerose]

I only look at polls of Likely Voters and this year, I’m skeptical of those as well.

This will be a turnout election. Hillary won’t get the numbers BO got in ‘08.Nobody’s excited about a Hillary presidency.

Best t shirt seen at a Hillary rally: Settle for Hillary.

All the media has deceiving the American people since the 1960’start.

[aces]

Time for a new bunch of media folks too

[goldstategop]

CBS scrubbed a poll that showed Trump leading in PA.

They’re completely dishonest and people see right through them.

[IamConservative]

I only look at polls of Likely Voters and this year, I’m skeptical of those as well.

I don't know who they are polling. Who has a land line anymore? Who answers calls from unknown numbers on a cell?

[jmaroneps37]

See-B. S.was caught by the DNC Email leak colluding with the DNC to fix polls so why both even reading their crap?

[Recompennation]

They did not get my poll data. I always ask them to repeat the introduction, then ask them again who they are with and then pause and reply I am not familiar with your group, I choose to decline.
