Monmouth Polling Director is Rabid Anti-Trump
Twitter ^ | 17 Oct 2016 | Patrick Murray

To understand the fraudulent nature of supposedly "scientific" polls, you only need to review the Twitter Feed of their directors. Patrick Murray is the Director of Monmouth Polls. Review his Twitter Feed here. Patrick Murray, Monmouth Polling Director Then ask yourself whether you think someone as open and as proud of their pro-Hillary, anti-Trump bias as he is, will produce anything but a biased poll that supports his chosen candidate.

Just seems like a self important stat junkie talking shop. Yeah, he really doesn’t like DJT. But not to any extreme degree that other mainstream clowns hate him.

Except that his tweets and retweets focus almost entirely on slamming Trump or elevating Hillary. I have no problem with a person doing that, as long as that person isn't employed as the director of what advertises itself as a non-partisan polling organization. If he's willing to be so public about his partisan leanings, I have very little doubt he doesn't put much effort into keeping his partisan influence from impacting his polling decisions. It's not much different than a judge discussing why he thinks a criminal in his court is guilty while the trial is under way. Really, really poor judgment. Which again, reflects on his potential to put together a truly useful set of polling numbers. At least polling organizations like PPP admit their democrat leaning. This guy is like Chris Matthews trying to claim he's just a neutral journalist.

To quote a notorious Freeper... not good.

Murray is a hack. But hes not alone. All are being paid by some corporate supporter of Clinton. Do some research on the firms, all in bed with Dems.

When the Monmouth polls are released tomorrow, there is going to be the standard panic and clutching of pearls. The more people who get a first hand look at the hacks who create these polls, the better.

Wow. That’s the sort of hysteria I’d expect from Liz Mair or Louise ‘The Stench’ Mensch. Good catch Rokke and keep this prize intel coming, Byron

Yes. Ironically, he mocks Trump’s comments about the system being rigged, but his tweets and the fact he is directing this poll exemplify and validate Trump’s comments.

Almost by definition, opinion polling isn’t scientific.

Thanks for his twitter page!

Whenever I encounter these DNC Media partisans, and that’s what they are, I let them have it for the biased little c-words they are.

Even if they delete or block me, it was there, at least for a while, to let everyone see that this world has people who oppose them and their biases.

Shocked to discover that there is gambling going on in this casino and that the wheel is rigged in favor of me. Shocked.

There’s no way Trump could be +1,Tie,-4 in other polls ...And this guy has it at -12 ?!? 14 point spread..no way. This guys pattern is like he waits to see weakness, new negative trend in other polls for a particular state or depending on the national polling, and then drops his “10+ pt outlier poll” like a bomb. He’s done it in certain states and nationally. I looked at his methodology, and he was lacking an explanation in his demo weighting. Him and the NBC/WSJ what bull shitters.

Every result you listed is from a “scientific” poll. Obviously, the “science” of polling is completely broken. They simply cannot all be correct, and with that wide a variation, it isn’t even useful to consider the average a reasonable result. The results are essentially random. The average of random is no more meaningful than the average of random. Pick 5 numbers between one and one hundred. Take the average...and you end up with a meaningless result. Like this poll.
