Busted! Crooked Media Plays With Polling Numbers To Pretend Georgia Is Hillary Country
Gateway Pundit ^ | 8/5/16 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 08/05/2016 3:00:21 PM PDT by JohnKinAK

Another day – another blatant example of the media manipulating polls to discourage Trump voters.

Reuters was caught red-handed changing poll results to erase a Trump lead last week.

Now the Atlanta Journal Constitution does the same pretending that Hillary is going to win Georgia.

Polling firms contact registered voters. The number of voters who answer the phone and agree to the survey are put into a number called the “unweighted base.” The polling firm then applies their own “formula” based on who they think is going to vote. In the example below, 278 Republicans in Georgia answered the phone for a poll in May. The AJC’s polling firm thinks that’s too many Republicans, so they move that to 245, “adjusting” the numbers with an “average weighted response.” SNIP 2 1/2 months, later, the same polling firm substantially altered their “secret formula.”

Compare these two crosstabs. This is a link to the Aug 1-4 poll. Here is the poll by the same outfit back in May. The first number is the raw data. The second is the weighted sample. Talk about a giant leap! Snip The difference in the results is in the weighted average, which is the Atlanta Journal Constitution’s polling firm putting it’s thumb on the scale. To believe this poll is remotely true, you’d have to believe that hundreds of thousands of registered Republicans in Georgia plan to sit out the election entirely.

They are not even trying to hide their bias anymore. They dont care we know. They are brazen. As long as it works on low IQ voters, and it will, they will do it.

Can anyone recall a poll where it looked like the Repubs were wildly over represented?

My great fear is that this is the cover that will be used to hide the massive voter fraud.

The MSM, RATs, and GOP Elites think We The People are fat, dumb, stupid, and gullible. Not gonna work this time. The stakes are too high like our freedom, our security, and our future.

The key to the game is exposure 24/7. We have to be the eyes and ears of Freedom.

The polls won’t reflect much accuracy until just before the election. At that point their reputation is on the line so it better be close to what the real election results will be. Right now they are free to run wild with any ridiculous polls designed to prop up Hillary.

To paraphrase Disraeli:

There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and polls.
