Speaking exclusively to Breitbart News, political polling pioneer Pat Caddell said the Reuters news service was guilty of an unprecedented act of professional malpractice after it announced Friday it has dropped the “Neither” option from their presidential campaign tracking polls and then went back and reconfigured previously released polls to present different results with a reinterpretation of the “Neither” responses in those polls.
“This comes as close as I have ever seen to cooking the results,” said the legendary pollster and political consultant. “I suppose you can get away with it in polling because there are no laws. But, if this was accounting, they would put them in jail.”
The decision comes on the heels of a Breitbart News report that shows a 17-point swing towards Republican presidential nominee Donald J. Trump and away from Democratic nominee Hillary R.Clinton.

Hillary Clinton’s rallies almost empty, Trump’s rallies, 10’s of thousands showing up! The PHONY Clinton bus tour… EXPOSED!
So they’re using two completely different polling methods for both post conventions...unreal!
Pat Caddell used to work for Jimmy Carter.
Just saying, he’s a Democrat. This is not the vast right wing conspiracy saying that the polls are a sham. This is a Democrat, who presumably will choose to vote for Hillary, who is telling us this.
Has this link been posted as a thread, yet, anyone?

Yes, he’s a Democrat, but I doubt very seriously he’s voting for Hillary. Has anyone heard otherwise?
Caddell is not a Clintonista
Caddell has always been a Democrat, so I guess he and I would have ideological differences. But I’ve followed him for a long time — and he has always been honest. Not many Democrats are. But he has consistently pointed out dishonesty when he sees it. And when he sees it, it’s usually coming from the Democrats. He’s not reluctant to say so.
Watch Hillary tell the truth—she hates emails because of all of her investigations. This is from 2000, just about a minute long:

“I suppose you can get away with it in polling because there are no laws. But, if this was accounting, they would put them in jail.”
But they did not intend to do it, and they did not understand what they were doing, so.....
Rigging polls I could care less about, rigging actual elections is what worries me. but I’m still glad Pat Caddell called them on it.
I have always found Pat Caddell to be fair and he is pissed about so much that is going on right now, esp with the Democrat party.
The Clintoon piggy pollsters have to show the Clintoons in the lead so they can explain all of the motor voter fraud that is going to occur in November. We ain’t seen fraud yet. November is going to be ugly.
I tend to agree with you. This is for all the marbles!
Pretty unbelievable. I still don’t see how simply doing away with the “Neither” option and leaving “Other” in is supposed to give Hillary an advantage. At least Reuters is still doing four way polling which shows that the third parties are pulling from Dems much more than Trump.
I have great respect and admiration for Mr. Caddell.
He takes me back to 1984, when he managed Senator Gary Hart’s campaign. I did volunteer for Senator Hart’s campaign in my local area and was devastated when the corrupt system of super delegates swayed the nomination to Mondale. Things haven’t changed, except I am now a Trumplican!!
I enjoy and appreciate when Mr. Caddell appears on The Fox Report on Sunday evenings. He deserves to be applauded for calling a spade a spade and exposing malpractice within his own industry!!!
Pat Cadell WILL NEVER vote Hillary he CAN’T STAND HER!!!! His buddy however Doug Shone IS voting Hillary even though he knows she is corrupt!!!
What is eye brow raising is that they took this long to get the books into the skillet.
Question:
Why do we allow the left to only do the polling?
Why can’t a pro American group do polling?
I guess they don’t exist yet
Yes, he’s a Democrat, but I doubt very seriously he’s voting for Hillary. Has anyone heard otherwise?
You are right. Pat Caddell detests Hitlery and what the Dem. party has become. I like him for his honesty and perspective.
