Election Now Over But Poll Games Continue

But you don’t have to be a Rasmussen Member to see clearly that the same polls who flat-out denied that Donald Trump would ever be elected president are now going out of their way to try to convince the public at large that he’s a goner now

According to the latest Rasmussen Report, ‘Voters Don’t See Pence As A Trump Replacement’.

Who, other than Rasmussen, says they ever did?

Wasn’t it only this time last year when most polls joined the mainstream media in predicting that Hillary Clinton, was a shoe-in for the 2016 presidency and that Donald Trump didn’t have a chance?

I read the article, and clicked the link to see methodology. Rasmussen fails in a different way than the other polls. They call landlines, then to balance for those with only cellphones, they randomly survey an online sample of people who have ALREADY SIGNED UP TO BE A PART OF THEIR RANDOM POLLING.

I know it's a struggle to cheaply sample the people who distrust media most (ie Trump's Base), but relying on people who choose to be available for online surveys introduces a large sample bias,obviously favoring the activists on the left.

That is what gives the erroneous results. I suspect that many Freepers and other right-wingers like me don't mind choosing to click on a new site poll, but to sign up to be available when THEY want to poll, about any topic THEY choose? Not Likely!

Sampling, landline or cell, people outside the bubble - yes these are important factors.

The main factor though: Show me the question and I’ll show you the intended outcome (propaganda narrative).

Example, I received an email asking if I was proud of Trump and the Republicans? My only choice was yes or no. This email was from the RNC who’s agenda at the moment is to give the GOP a likability boost on Trump’s coat tails. I am proud of Trump, I’m disgusted with the Republicans.
