Three Strikes - 3rd Time This Campaign Season NBC/WSJ Caught Promoting Agenda Polls
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | 02/17/2016 | Sundance

Posted on 02/17/2016 4:57:15 PM PST by PJBankard

The team of NBC and Wall Street Journal (Rupert Murdoch owned) has struck again with their latest highly coordinated and heavily manufactured latest "Agenda Poll". We have previously revealed NBC/WSJ's prior two constructs.......

[SNIP]

Remember, an "agenda poll" is not created to show a statistical snapshot of the presidential race. An "agenda poll" has nothing to do with the support. Agenda Polls are manufactured to create media talking points, to create media narratives.

Agenda polling is about setting out to make a story, to sell a specific narrative, by using polling as the means to justify the story you are selling. Nothing more, and nothing less.

Yes, I wonder why he didn’t weigh in when Trump was up 13% in the previous NBC/WSJ poll. Did they forget what their “agenda” was in that one?

There’s away too much riding on SC. Cruz might be the short term beneficiary of these shenanigans, but if they can take Trump down, Cruz will disappear almost immediately.

“After having Post Graduate Degree in Statistics and Mathematics, God very difficult to explain anything to dumb Cruz bots.

Education is important, don’t drop out of college.”

Actually it’s a fact that lesser educated people tend towards Trump and 4 yr college educated or higher tend to favor Cruz.

But then Trumpophiles never seem to be too concerned with the facts when it interferes with a good rant.

I made the mistake of having a character in my book with YOUR majors. He tutors a struggling college student in her statistics class.

The only reason that I chose statistics was that this is THE class that everyone I know with a BS struggled with the most. Later it proved helpful as he worked with a drug developer.

I have no freaking idea what I’m doing.

From my limited world view, you’ve just outed yourself as a genius. You have my baffled respect.

You must have so much joy in life outside of FR for this to be what you can’t wait for.

Nope. Are you sure, you seem agitated that this was posted and you felt the need to attack Trump supporters and their intelligence.

What does the arrow and the LOL signify? Why are we looking at there?

Pointing out the Outliar Poll. It is WSJ, they hate Trump. It is funny. Also I didn’t create the image.

Cruz supporters on this forum regularly call Trump supporters stupid. Serious question: how many FR members have you attracted to your position with this approach?

Now work in IT/algorithm/Big Data.

Polls are interesting but these pollsters don’t provide details. I did some work with campaign in 2008. With these poll , one can just guess momentum. Rest is who actually go out and vote, for that you need momentum.

Yeah. You’re smarter than I am.

I think that this is why so many people have trouble trusting polls. When you hear how they’re manipulated and weighted it starts to go wonky and the average person shakes their heads and says, “It’s all rigged.”

Lies, damn lies, and statistics. :)

Actually, post-NH analysis indicated Trump won both post-graduate and graduate groups in addition to HS graduates.

These voter groups supporting Trump continue on a national level, too.

Your dishonest statement is typical of CanuckTed’s ethics.

They said 400 people, so divided by 50 states equals 8 per state. That’s fewer than the number of people riding in the average elevator car.

If you look at the three most recent likely voter polls, you might see a trend. Forget the registered voter polls.

Do the research, nationally and it proved also so in Iowa, what I stated is accurate.

And, I don’t appreciate you calling me a liar. That most certainly IS typical of Trump worshipers.
