Lying to Pollsters

Posted on 09/28/2022 10:10:13 AM PDT by tbewin

I've seen multiple posters bragging about how they lie to pollsters...how does this benefit our candidates in any way? This results in lopsided results skewed towards the Dems that:

1. Decreases the amount of $$$ our candidates get 2. Allow cover for the Dems cheating 3. Potentially decreases voter turnout

If contacted, tell the pollsters who you like and let's get accurate numbers out there.

“2. Allow cover for the Dems cheating”

Tactics - telling a pollster that you are voting D helps overstate the D support. At the DNC, if D support is perceived to be good, they may cancel the plan to submit bogus ballots, stop vote harvesting, etc.

But to you, someone that doesn’t agree with you on every single issue is a RINO. Guess what...pro choice, pro gay marriage and pro weed legalization (as well as pro-gambling legalization) are all small government stances. But we have fundamentalist on here to be against all those things and claim to be for small government.

I can see the logic there...but they have no plans to do that at all. They have a way bigger war chest and assume they need to cheat in all states, even in CA (house races).

“Moderates and Independents sway elections and they look at polls.”

You might be right. But my mind can’t fathom seeing a poll and saying to myself “golly gee, seems like everybody’s for this guy so I’ll vote for them too,” or “everybody seems to be for abortion so I’ll be for it to.”

Just doesn’t make sense to me. And if other people operate that way, then I can’t help them, even by by being truthful in a poll.

Not true at all. On what do you base your opinion?

Undecideds are who I am referring to, not folks who know who they will vote for matter what. And these folks are growing due to “get out the vote” campaigns.

1. We are not seeing massive layoffs yet 2. Biden isn’t on the ballot 3. Dems are always more popular in hard economic times because of handouts like “free” college loan bailouts and 4. many people attribute bad economics to being a world problem or the war in ukraine. People blame republicans directly for them not being able to get an abortion anymore however.

Noone? Really...noone? You got any stats to back that up? I bet you many in your area do. You underestimate the stupidity of the average person.

“What would you call it?”

Wisdom.

“Its prejudiced if you want to get technical but it’s rooted in ignorance, which doesn’t make it any better!”

It’s not prejudiced or rooted in ignorance. It’s rooted in knowledge; knowledge that Islam endorses kidnapping, rape, murder and slavery against infidels, so it doesn’t qualify as a “religion”, but is instead just a death cult. It also sentences anyone who wants to leave the cult to death, which makes it quite a bit worse than your run of the mill cults like Scientology, who just shun apostates.

I have no problem voting for a Jew, a Buddhist, a Hindu, a Zoroastrian, but I don’t vote for death cultists. And I’m not alone in the Republican party, which everyone well knows, so those promoting muslim candidates should know what to expect.

“You complain when Christians are singled out???”

Not really. Christians being singled out is inevitable.

lying is simple self-protection against the fascist forces tracking down conservatives and arresting them ...

Ha!!! I watched that election...and I know charts.

Charts do NOT do what happened in the middle of the night.

Look up Benfords law of charts...it's been used in Court Houses.

Some people believe maybe...but many people say the election was stolen. And I'm am one of them..!!

Sheet...I watched cheating on many videos...

Why are you here?

You need to research the history of Christianity a little more. They’ve been around a little longer but their extremists were committing similar atrocities around the world. And that’s who is doing it...extremists. Your thought process is no better than Bidens singling all conservatives out for the actions of a select few!

“Undecideds are who I am referring to, not folks who know who they will vote for matter what. And these folks are growing due to “get out the vote” campaigns.”

Then in all honesty, how does that work? I’m trying to understand that type of mind. Say a person is undecided, they then look at a poll and see what everybody else is doing and then vote that way too?

So if we’re all honest with pollsters, some undecided people will see that the Republican is ahead and will vote that way, without knowing the person or the issues (I can understand somebody seeing an ad that might make them vote one way or the other).
