Cruz fans who are butthurt + Hispanics who don’t like Trump’s immigration stance + Austin lefties and assorted transplants

Is that enough to flip Texas really?

“Respondents were recruited from users of SurveyMonkey’s polling platform, who were invited to complete another survey after completing separate surveys generated by site users. No margin of sampling error was calculated.”

You know, I know that Waaaaaahshington Post HATES Trump, but they really are willfully lying now.

The poll was conducted from Aug. 9 to Sept. 1, with the sample size for individual states varying from about 550 to 5,000. Respondents were recruited from users of SurveyMonkey’s polling platform, who were invited to complete another survey after completing separate surveys generated by site users. No margin of sampling error was calculated.

So now they are using... SURVEYMONKEY??!?

And REFUSING TO PUBLISH INTERNALS???!?

Nothing less than an outright lie.

Is Survey Monkey related to Trunk Monkey?

The author of the piece:

Katherine Krueger is the breaking news editor at TPM in New York City. She was previously a fellow at the Guardian US. She graduated from the University of Wisconsin, where she was editor-in-chief of The Badger Herald.

1. I guarantee you that she would have NO trouble writing lies if that would help leftism.

2. REGISTERED VOTERS? LIKELY VOTERS? Just folks?

3. “No margin of sampling error was calculated.” Then it is NOT a toss-up. It is just a bunch of people answering a poll.

4. No indication as to how poll#1 filtered for poll#2. Let’s see HRC spend a day in a low pollen section of Texas (El Paso?) and we’ll see how seriously this poll is taken by anything other than former Madison school newspaper flacks.

It’s just their version of Freeping an online poll. Nothing more than that.
