New Podesta Email Exposes Dem Playbook For Rigging Polls Through "Oversamples"
Zero Hedge ^ | Oct 23, 2016 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 10/23/2016 4:57:05 PM PDT by cutty

the obvious sampling bias in the latest ABC / Washington Post poll that showed a 12-point national advantage for Hillary. Like many of the recent polls from Reuters, ABC and The Washington Post, this latest poll included a 9-point sampling bias toward registered democrats.

...

for all of you out there who still aren't convinced that the polls are rigged, we present to you the following Podesta email, leaked earlier today, that conveniently spells out, in startling detail, exactly how to rig them. The email starts out with a request for recommendations on "oversamples for polling" in order to "maximize what we get out of our media polling."

I also want to get your Atlas folks to recommend oversamples for our polling before we start in February. By market, regions, etc. I want to get this all compiled into one set of recommendations so we can maximize what we get out of our media polling.

The email even includes a handy, 37-page guide with the following poll-rigging recommendations. In Arizona, over sampling of Hispanics and Native Americans is highly recommended:

...

- Over-sample Hispanics . Use Spanish language interviewing. (Monolingual Spanish-speaking voters are among the lowest turnout Democratic targets).

- Over-sample the Native American population

For Florida,

Is the ABC Media Brand in trouble? What credibility is left?

The media will ever get the credibility back. The news media is damaged.

We are reminded that media-sponsored polls are not meant to measure anything - they are designed to INFLUENCE everything. This is all part of the rigged system. Eisenhower had his “military-industrial complex”, and we have the “uni-party-elite/biased-media/corrupt-bureaucrat/career-politician complex”.

No.
Their campaign wanted wanted groups ‘oversampled’ so they could learn more about them, more accurately.

Media poll oversampling is done to skew a poll’s result- that’s different.

This needs to go viral, and to be used by the Trump campaign. It’s manipulation worthy of Goebbels.

I’m scared!!! Watching The Fox News Insiders with Pat Caddell, Doug Schoen & John LeBoutillier have me worried!!! Pat was saying polling is all over the place but says Hillary is ahead, John LeBoutillier said TRUMP Campaign Manager just quit, you don’t quit if you’re winning blah blah blah & I think Doug Schoen was saying the Hillary camp is feeling very confident etc...

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m worried now!!!!

Besides what someone else tells you...what do you see?

Don’t worry, it doesn’t help. If it did, we would all worry like hell.

Pray. That helps.

The press should be not only a collective propagandist and a collective agitator, but also a collective organizer of the masses

The only limits on rigging polls...maintaining credibility relative to the actual election results/other polls and preventing leaks.

With the polls all over the place, no one is going to come out on Trump’s side, not even Caddell.

I don’t trust anything Hillary’s campaign says.

Jim Murphy quit, I have no clue why. Maybe someone else has some insight.

Kellyanne acknowledged their behind, it would give me more confidence if she said something along the lines of “we’re strong and confident the American people want change”

The only one that I pay attention to and respect is Pat Caddell. Caddell has also been quoted as saying the polling is all over the place and the shock potential could be enormous.

Doug Sshoen is totally in the tank for Hillary which is to be expected and John LaBoutillier NEVER HAS ANYTHING POSITIVE TO SAY ABOUT TRUMP, NEVER! John L. constantly whines and criticizes Trump for the most minuscule things. Don't give up the ship, this election is like to other. We are going to win this.
