As I posted on your previous thread, pollS are methods of manipulating public opinion. We reject bogus “climate science” yet accept poll results as gospel. Who can say anyone was even polled? For all we know, there could be nothing behind these “poll results”, they could simply be making crap up to suit their agenda.

They changed the polling methodology to deliver the desired result.

No problems with that. sarcasm.

Aren’t there some polling or research companies, maybe Gallup, or others, which take this job seriously, and are professional in what they do??

Anybody can rig a poll and flood the MSM with it, and say, look, now Hillary is in the lead, and she’s got a big one now.

Holy Toledo, does anyone have any ethics or values anymore?

Uh. . .

If Trump leaning voters are more likely than Clinton leaning voters to respond “uncertain”;

And if they take the option “uncertain” off the table;

Isn’t that likely to generate a higher percentage of Trump voters than before?

And wouldn’t that produce better results for Trump than before?

Just asking. . . . .

Fiddling with the polls to favor Clinton is all about depressing enthusiasm for Trump.

POLL TAKER: We are taking a general election poll. Who do you support? Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump?

MR. CITIZEN: I am undecided.

POLL TAKER: We had that option before but have eliminated it.

MR. CITIZEN: I’m still undecided.

POLL TAKER: Sorry. Undecided is unacceptable. You have to make a choice… Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump.

MR CITIZEN: I am undecided because I don’t want to be vote shamed for my choice.

POLL TAKER: Don’t be silly. We are impartial statisticians and will record your choice without maligning you.

MR. CITIZEN: Okay. I choose Donald Trump.

POLL TAKER: RAAAACIST!!!!
