Beware the predictable polling onslaught to paint the potemkin village
“We are not, repeat NOT, going to exhaust unnecessary energy in the next 10 days to deconstruct the insufferably predictable media-agenda-polls that are looming on the near horizon.
The corporations who have a vested interest in manufacturing the Potemkin village have their collected pollsters armed with fresh paint to create the optics of a “historic” surge in polling upon the conclusion of the Democrat National Party Convention in Philadelphia.
This paint job has been planned for weeks, if not months.
You can count on a manufactured corporate-media pretense to deliver a carefully scripted narrative giving Hillary Clinton a post convention bounce around 10 to 15 points (+/- 3). -— July 28, 2016.
OK! But one poster in the other thread asked about the party affiliation in PA, given that this poll had relatively few Independents. I tried to answer:
I have no idea what the party affiliation looks like in PA, but with very few independents it looks like the pollsters have started to play with another “meme”.
Most polls, both before and after the conventions, seem to have more solidified support for Clinton among the Democrats than among Republicans for Trump. So, suddenly the number of D’s and R’s are growing and the I’s are very few, although the difference between R and D is within reasonable limits.
In most polls (like the FOX poll yesterday) Trump is leading among I’s (not in the NH poll today, though), so reducing the number of Independents will skew the poll towards HRC.
Does this make sense?

This is typical for every campaign season right after the conventions. The MSM will push polls showing HUGE dem leads that never pan out (look at the final election numbers). Also right after the conventions, the MSM will also jump on the GOP candidate with one hit piece after another, creating controversy with hearsay. They will take the candidates word out of context and try to place them on the defensive.
It does not matter who the GOP candidate is. By it Trump or Cruz or Jeb or Rubio (or in the past Romney or McCain or GWB or Dole, etc.) THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENS EVERY 4 YEARS.
The problem for the dems and the MSM, this is a long campaign, the election is over 3 months away. They cannot keep this up that long. I think they are ‘shooting their wad’ now hoping that it will damage Trump. It will not. Ad more terrorist attacks and Wikileaks email releases and the game completely changes.
