I like it, can’t be any more bogus than the ones we’ve been seeing...

It’s from their website. Just because a poll is little known doesn’t mean it is bogus. Any full time polling firm must get paid in some manner. My sense is that there’s more money in manipulating outcomes than in being accurate.

That "Who says?" exchange may have a very short shelf life.

The press predicted that adding Bannon to the Trump team would make Trump more reckless and brash, and doubly so with Manafort out. The opposite happened. Nothing the talking heads have predicted has come to pass. The information in their bubble is fiction.

This is legit only if it factors in the Depends bombshell, and only then, if it’s been vetted by Dana Perino.

I would - if they ever called me.

The only calls I get are from the guy in India wanting to fix my computer, the chick wanting to extend my car warranty and the IRS trying to throw me in jail.

“Was that on one of the ol’ hoop and holler systems?”

Back then the pollsters rode mules from cabin to cabin.

What he couldn’t understand was my assertion that America should use military force in support of its vital interests.

Did not compute, apparently.

The sampling is based on actual demographics. Probably very true. The Dem oversampled pols are trending Trump too so this is probably fairly accurate.

They’re calling me, on MY time, in MY home, on MY telephone, so THEY can make money selling THEIR propaganda....I don’t think so.

No doubt. About every metric, empirical observations and data, outside of the main stream media polling and their liberal colleges that they employ, show Trump winning all or in complete favor of him.

What if a poll happens to predict the exact correct results but is based on a flawed methodology? Is this a bogus poll or an accurate poll?

It would an accurate & correct poll, but for the wrong reasons.

IF this poll is legit, Trump is well on his way to a landslide. Regardless, it will be ignored by all of the news media as it doesn't fit the narrative that the Wicked Witch is significantly in the lead and that Trump's campaign is in disarray.

It’s total BS.
They did no polling.

Of course it may end up being true anyway LOL!

I am dubious. I don’t see much of a web foot print for USDailywire.com beyond blogs and stories from freerepublic and reddit and such about this particular poll. I can not find any we ratings on the site. I will have to say non-legit.

When they offer a $5 Amazon card for a 20 minute poll I do it :)

Forget who the heck it was but the digital card was real.

"was a sample of 1,405 likely voters"

I'll tell you this - that sample size doesn't come cheap, even with robo.

“’ll ask the reverse. Why wouldn’t a poll that shows a non-present Hillary (resting) show her support up 6 points over Trump?”

I’m with you! All the “major media polls” are paid for by people trying to influence the election, not at really seeing what the voters preferences are.

"Trump will need at least that 6 points, maybe more. just to counter the democrat fraudulent voting."

Wat? If Trump wins the PV by 6, it's not even hypothetically possible to lose the EC. Trump PV by 6 [52-46-1-1] is 310-320+ EV.
