You changed the title when you reposted this article — but yours and the earlier one are both the same article from the same source, is my point.
Correct me if I’m wrong, Moderator; but I thought posters are not to change the title when posting, and surely not to try to outfox an earlier post of the same article.
Also the earlier posting was by the author of the article, Michael van der Galien.......
Good call. Well, I'm not putting duplicate posts on the MAGA list any more. It's lazy and wasteful.

Pardon me! I didn't change the title. The whole title I posted is at the top of the page below the partial title.
Now I see what is going on. The mod put [27%] in the my title.
Original title:
New Quinnipiac National Poll: Trump Firmly in the Lead, Rubio Second with 17%, Cruz Surges to Third With 16%
Michael van der Galien's title posted on FR:
New Quinnipiac National Poll: Trump Firmly in the Lead, Rubio Second with 17%, Cruz Third With 16%
My original title:
New Quinnipiac National Poll: Trump Firmly in the Lead, Rubio Second with 17%, Cruz Surges to....
The mod's modified title:
New Quinnipiac National Poll: Trump [27%] Firmly in the Lead, Rubio Second with 17%, Cruz Surges to.
Now, do you see the differences?
Michael took "Surges to" off in order to fit. I searched for the whole title and there was no hit. I posted it with truncated original title. The mod modified my truncated title. Now the third person can come in and post this article again.
Please don't blame the next person who may post this article again. As the matter of fact, you do the search for the original title yourself right now.
There is no hit!!!!!! I just did it.
Thank you for your gracious reply. I’ve not seen you do this at any other time; however there are some people on FR who don’t even try to search, and that is bothersome. I have also seen other freepers complaining of search function difficulties. My apologies since, as you say, you have been edited by the moderators. Onward and upward!
‘I searched for the whole title and there was no hit’
Yeah, people should search for just a significant phrase in the title but most cut and paste the whole thing.
Not a big problem though.
