Well said!

ALL of these MSM pollsters are manipulating their results by oversampling/overweighting Democrats and Democrat-leaning Independents.

AP/Ipsos Reid routinely oversamples Democrats by DOUBLE DIGITS -- their current poll features 50% Democrats: 38% Republicans.

CBSNews discovered that oversampling Democrats by 8 points wasn't enough in their most recent poll so they WEIGHTED their sample in such a way that it dropped an already anemic representation of Republicans from approximately 28% to 23% -- HEY CBS, WHY EVEN BOTHER INCLUDING REPUBLICANS IN YOUR SAMPLE?!

ABCNews/WashCompost doesn't release its sampling data; however, given that their results are similar to those manufactured by AP and CBS, I think we can conclude that they too grossly oversampled Democrats/Democrat-leaning Independents.


BOTTOMLINE: MSM pollsters are manufacturing data designed to advance the liberal agenda . . . nothing more nothing less. They know that because the President will never again stand for re-election, their polling data will never again be evaluated against the only polls that matter!

Fortunately, the President will continue to lead regardless of the polling data and the incessant MSM attacks. However, it is time for Republican congressmen (Senate and House) and Republican voters to help with some of the heavy lifting!!

You have it exactly right when it comes to what the MSM is up to (regarding their silly / meaningless polls).

As for the RNC / GOP it is long past time that they stand up and put out an effective message! - And stop relying on the WH to do everything.

The RNC has been utterly pathetic.
