Real Clear Politics&Average Of All Polls.But How Many Pollsters Are Done By Democrats?

Posted on 10/21/2016 8:10:17 PM PDT by Pence_Dispenser

They say that most polls are done by left leaning groups/organizations.So does this mean that polls by CNN,ABC,NBC & New York Times are included? What about Monmouth? Who is running Monmouth?. It's just peculiar that the polls done by Democrats have Hillary up about 11 points when the more credible pollsters are showing a tie or a two point race. Guess we can agree that something just doesn't add up,and Trump should be ahead by at least six or seven points.

A majority of those polls on the RCP average are what I call psychological warfare polls. They are purely propaganda to deflate Trump supporters.

Most polls are rigged and whores for who pays them. They will soon narrow to save their business. They are mostly rigged to suppress enthusiasm for the greatest American since George Washington.

I just heard Nigel Farage say that the DAY of the Brexit vote, the polls came out and said ‘Remain” was 10 points ahead. They just try to discourage voters from coming out.

No pollster even knows how to poll this cycle because they don’t know who is going to vote. I am thinking the monster vote hypothesis and the Bradley effect will be in play to help Trump. Of course many of the dead will be out supporting hillary.

Monmouth is one of the worst, their poll guybwas so dumb he even got caught red-handed manipulating the date in Hillary’s favor:

,https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/08/22/monmouth-university-pollster-patrick-murray-busted-manipulating-poll-data-then-lying-about-it/

He cheats, then lies about it, then appears on O’Reilly to pitch his crap data, then it gets repeated across Fox as gospel.

The want you to despair...to give up, not even bother voting because its a lost cause. Because liars like Monmouth say so.

The traditional telephone polls has remain way ahead. But there were some marginalized and ignored online polls that had leave a bit up.

Not only that, networks only need one 11pt lead to poison the average.

I wish people would just use separate independent polls and throw out the average.

The RCP average is useless this cycle. There are polls out there with just about every result. Averaging all that crap won’t do you any good.

The polls with the best track record have Trump ahead (IBD, Daybreak).

Polls that had a terrible track record in the primaries have Hillary ahead (NBC, FOX).

Bottom line is, nobody knows for sure who is ahead. People choose to believe different polls as a leap of faith. They will either be right or wrong. Better not to worry too much about it.

They are also rigged to keep funding coming in for the Dem.

Pray America wakes

Is it true that the pollsters are basing the polls on 2012 turnout?

So the media is thoroughly dishonest and corrupt, but we’re supposed to believe the pollsters are honest. I don’t think so.

No one goes into polling because they love working with polls, the way someone becomes a carpenter because they love working with wood. People go into polling because they are political activists with agendas.

The polls will magically “tighten” at the end, because they don’t want Dem voters to think it is in the bag and stay home.

Tonight I heard some cable yakker say that a poll showing Trump ahead was an “outlier” and that IT should be thrown out!

I kid you not.

Yup - the polling band in 2012 was around 5% from most favorable to Obama to least favorable pretty much the entire polling season . But there is a 14% delta currently between the most favorable Trump poll (Rasmussen +2 Trump) to worst Trump poll (Monmouth +12 Cankles). Also, all of the tracking polls have Trump barely ahead (LA Times, IBD/TIPP, Rasmussen, PPD) and all of the one off polls show Clinton ahead by 4 to 12%. Pretty unbelievable deltas IMO - similar to Brexit (final week ranged from +2 Leave to +10 STAY. Long story short - just get out and vote.

“But the polls were right in 2008 and 2012.”

LOL. Some polls were right, some polls were wrong. The RCP average was way off.

Gallup had this poll in October:

Better not to worry too much about polls. Many are right and many are wrong. We’ll only know which after the election.

Some do, some have even higher D spread than 2012, others have lower. The art of deciding who a likely voter is can vary by as much as 8% based on a pew study after the 2014 election.
