the way that this was cooked

The DNC emails show how hand-in-glove the media and DNC are. I am more skeptical of polls this time around than ever.

WOW looking back at this article some things just NEVER CHANGE do they!! Thank you for posting this it IS quite astonishing more of us NEED to go look up the election articles from the Reagan election and refresh our memories it is quite uncanny how the SO CALLED journalists and Republican Party elites haven’t CHANGED a bit!!!

They've been at it a very long time. Fortunately today we have plenty of information at our fingertips so they cannot con us as easily as they used to. Just stay the course and don't be discouraged by the manufactured polls and lame stream media attacks on Trump. They are getting desperate just like they did with Reagan. Meanwhile we should not become complacent. Keep the pressure on them, expose them all, especially the RINOs and let them make all the mistakes.

Therefore the Marist poll is a push poll for Killery

You would expect that since the composition of the electorate is pretty much known and fixed, that each poll would use the same party distribution. I know, each pollster is also trying to model expected turnout, but it still doesn't make sense that the party breakdown used would fluctuate so much from poll to poll.

Of course, the obvious explanation is that as they receive raw poll numbers (which do vary from week to week) they simply adjust the party distribution the next time around to manufacture a lead for Hillary. What they still can't explain, however, is why the poll numbers on specific issues are completely at odds with how those same voters allegedly plan to vote. That makes no sense.

As you say...they must manufacture a lead for the democRAT no matter what.

I stopped looking at polls until two weeks before the election, but the low info sheep will follow what they think everyone else is doing. And as a bonus it’s a psy-op against republicans
