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.

READ MY LIPS, I AM NOT DISPUTING THAT NH SHOWED DIFF RESULTS.
I was thinking same. When Trump lost Iowa the polls right before were within the margin of error and pretty accurate.
New Hampshire was quite accurate and it looks like SC is the same as New Hampshire.
South Carolina is nothing like Iowa.
what are you babbling about?
my anti GOP cred every three minutes dwarfs whatever contribution you’ve made to the cause in your entire life. Way way way ahead of you, whoever you are.
but he’s behind among the educated everywhere else.
You point to NH as if it’s some great bellweather. Figures, you support a liberal and you contantly talk about a liberal state. Makes sense.
Hey hey back from a time out I see. How was juvie? LOL!
Let’s talk Sat night about 10:00 PM when Trump is giving his victory speech and of course again for a repeat on Tuesday night.
Don’t hate me because I’m always well, Wright. LOL!
It is from HuffPost if that is your cup of tea.

Jenny, your MS degree should have taught you something about classical logic. Ad hominem attacks, preemptive or otherwise, do not prove arguments. They do not WIN arguments.
They DO divide and alienate. They do NOT win elections for conservatives.
Also, your insinuation that the OP was uneducated and ignorant for supporting Cruz is the FAVORITE, insulting argument of progressives and atheists against Christian Conservatives. Why on earth would you want to associate yourself with such an argument?
This tactic DOES follow a different script, however.
#5 "Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon."
#13 "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy."
Alinskyite tactics are inconsistent with conservationism, which is why may conservatives are so opposed to Trump. I don't know about Trump, but we FReepers are better than that.
I'd suggest that in principle, pejorative, marginalizing terms like "Cruzers", "Cruz-bots", "Trump bots", "Trumppets", and so on ought never to be used on FreeRepublic. I hope you agree.
FReegards!
So you’re assuming the demo breakdown for Trump for NH is unique?
Doesn’t make sense. More likely Iowa is the outlier. Historically that’s the case.
Side-channeling in to your conversation with Miltie, honesty is refreshing from all sides. Compliments.
My feeling is that the polls for Cruz versus Trump are close. I think Trump drilled a hole in his own hull with his attack on the GOP vis-a-vis 9/11 and the Iraq war. What he said was not only demonstrably false, it validates the Democrat party's lies, and damns every Republican voter who supported the war, or our warriors. I think it'll cost Trump in SC primary, at the least. (Note: That Kerry guttersnipe argument used in 2004 about supporting the troops, while opposing the war was just cover for the Democrats using the war for political advantage. Every new bodybag was another 10 Democrat votes for Kerry, so he gave all the "aid and comfort" he could to the enemy. That's why 2004/5 turned out to be such banner years for Jahidi hunting, AND American body bags.)
As for supporting Trump in the General Election if he wins the primary, I'm disposed to beat the Democrats, but don't think he will. He's certainly going to have to figure out how to walk back the Iraq and 9/11 lies, AND have a "come to Jesus" moment with conservatives after all the destruction he's causing, or we won't see conservatives at the polls for him.
We ain't the donkey's. The ends do not justify the means. Trump can get my vote and those of other conservatives, but he had better stop the bombast and fix the problems he caused.
FReegards.
Logically, you don’t repeat the same process over and over again and expect different results.
Your assumption that many conservatives don’t support Trump is illogical as polling internals tell you otherwise, amongst other things.
Fox comes out with another Murdoch controlled poll tommorow. Let’s see how that looks.
Don’t worry, the end is near. Sunday things will be much clearer.
Fair enough
But it works both ways
I can list about a dozen notables who support a Trump but besides that every single entity and agent of the GOP, conservatism, and the GOPe have conducted scorched earth in their unsuccessful attempt to kill Trump for 7 months reaching its zenith now in utter desperation since they see their hopes fading
What do they owe him now when becomes the nominee?
That is just as fair if not more so a question
I don’t see the polls close at all
Here’s the link to the locked one. No need to link the half dozen or so topics touting the cooked-books poll.

Forget it. Can’t communicate with someone so obtuse.
I used to like going to Freerepublic but it seems that all the FREEPS do is devolve into arguing with each other about how educated they are and how much smarter some are because they support a certain person and how much stupid others are because they support someone else.......nothing meaningful any more. People I only have one thing to say, education does not = intelligence. I think one of the biggest problems we have today is that there are far too many people educated way beyond their intelligence.
Men are born ignorant, not stupid; they are made stupid by education.

Education consists mainly of what we have unlearned.

Bottom line is we have to take this country back from the Marxist, Socialist, Progressive leftists that are destroying it.
CBS News poll: Trump maintains commanding lead [2/12-2/16 Trump 35%, Cruz 18%, Rubio 12%]
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3398607/posts
Trump’s support cuts across nearly every demographic group in the Republican electorate.
He holds a double digit lead among Republicans and independents, men and women, white evangelicals, and Americans of all income levels.
He leads among Republican voters of all age and education levels, but does particularly well among voters without college degrees.”
