What’s going on with the polls?

Something funny is happening in the major national polling department of this presidential race and no one’s talking about it.

First, somehow the narrative seems to be developing that the polls show Clinton with a near insurmountable lead.

Not so fast.

Not so fast at all.

There is a very large gap between Trump and Clinton’s current national standing, as revealed by Goebbels/Pravda (CBS, NBC, ABC/Washington Post), on the one hand, versus the picture painted by three respected polling organizations that are not part of the propaganda wing of the Democratic Party, on the other:

Here are some of the numbers available Friday, October 21, 2016:

Goebbels/Pravda: (with NBC and CBS as reported by RCP on the afternoon of Friday, October 21, 2016):

ABC/Washington Post: 47-43, Clinton

NBC: 51-43, Clinton

CBS: 51-40, Clinton

Non-Propaganda Machine-affiliated: (as reported on the afternoon of Friday October 21, 2016):

IBT/TIPP: 41-40, Trump

LA Times/USC Tracking: 44.5-43.8, Trump

Rasmussen: 43-41, Trump

To say there’s a huge difference between the current state of the race as depicted by Goebbels/Pravda versus that shown by major independent polling organizations, would be risible understatement.

The propaganda arm of the Democratic Party is showing a runaway race, while the independents present an extremely tight one, with Trump frequently leading by a nose.

I have no idea who’s right, but I’m certain of this: both can’t be.

As our twenty-five year olds would ask: “Dude, what’s up with that?”

Why no discussion of this huge discrepancy?

Why the assumption by the media that it’s in the bag for what’s her name?

By the way, regarding an item of terminology:

I submit that “Goebbels/Pravda” is a moniker the gang of six has more than richly earned by its collective coverage of “The News” in this presidential election.

In the current election the New York Times, Washington Post, ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN have openly, obviously, crudely, and in unalloyed derogation of their obligations as news organizations in a free society, affiliated themselves with the Democratic Party. With unassailable historical veracity, they now can and should be grouped with their predecessor propagandists whose function was to parrot the line of the Parties that controlled the Soviet Union, 1917-91, and Germany, 1933-45.-----------Amen!

[Gaffer]

As Eric Cartman on South Park says “you crap you pants when you die, dude.”

Here they are spewing all the bile, offal, fecal matter and horseshit one would think is contained in the husk that houses the evil that they are.

With all the media manipulation going on, there’s no reason to think they wouldn’t make the polls part of their plan to take him out.

It’s amusing to watch them explain they are not part of the rigged system.

I watched Shep Smith a few days ago right after Trump gave a speech in which he said he would accept the election results only if he wins. Of course that was a joke, then Trump explained in detail what his (legal) position was on the results. Of course Shep based his entire spiel on Trump’s joke as if it were the truth. So rigged, bigly.

Local news this morning saying early voting favors Hillary. Party ID on registrants returning ballots favor Hillary in AZ and GA. Sounds like the retired vote is going for her if the reports are true. But the MSM is highlighting this to deter Trump voters, hoping they will think its over for Trump so they won’t vote.

[realcleanguy]

This is called voter suppression. If the Media can make you think Trump has lost, then millions will just stay home on election day. This is how the Media is Anti-Democracy

[CyberAnt]

I would not trust anything the MSM reports on the polls. And, by stating that Hillary is at 51 .. is laughable.

They’re doing that because the outsider media commentators have said in the last few days that TRUMP needs to get to 51 .. isn’t it interesting that Hillary has now reached 51.

The MSM is screwing with us .. AS USUAL .. they obviously still think WE’RE STUPID .. sorry, MSM .. we never were .. we just temporarily lost our way .. but we’re back and we’re not going to allow you to STEAL THIS ELECTION FROM US.

And, my other thought was that the MSM are upping the numbers for Clinton; in case Trump wins, then they can claim he stole the election .. YEAH MSM, I THINK WE HAVE FIGURED OUT WHAT YOU’RE UP TO. Hmmmmm ..?? does that mean the MSM is pretty sure Trump is really going to win ..????

How do they know? I was under the impression that here in AZ the absentee (mail-in) are counted last not as they come in.

Seems to me that would make more people go vote for him.

If people think a candidate has a lock in their state, they might not bother to go vote for him/her thinking their vote won’t make a difference, the candidate will win if you participate or not.

I’d rather not get to overconfident.

[CedarDave]

I presume they know who submitted the ballot not how they voted. That way they can check them off the list in case the person tries to vote again on election day (likely only works in Pubbie states; Rat state election officials probably welcome multiple votes).

Is the Benenson Group analysis real?

[Ransomed]

Also the % of the dumbest swing voters who will vote for the candidate, no matter their party identification, who gives the appearance of being the most popular. That’s why all candidates want well attended rallies, it affects the ones who are swayable because of seeming popularity. It’s pretty grim when you think about it.

I did some checking to see if my ballot was received and it was The SOS site also said, “counted.” Not sure if that means my vote has been cast in the Trump column or if the ballot was marked as received????

[null and void]

LA Times reporting a republican is ahead, if only by a razor thin margin???

[Charles Martel]

Is the Benenson Group analysis real?

Smells fake, but it's fun to read. These days, though, who can say for sure?

Scalia is dead.

If they bring a frivolous vote fraud suit in a state that has leftist federal judiciary they will win in the Lower court and the case will tie in the Supreme...thus it will stand.

Everyone will realize it is crooked and will begin to wonder if Scalia was taken out.

I.e. They might claim Russia rigged the vote in PA so it should be awarded to Hillary.

God save us!

[goldstategop]

I already voted for Trump.

Polls didn’t tell me to vote for their favored candidate.

Polls don’t vote; people do.
