Donald Trump loves polls and he has not spent a lot of $ on his campaign. Trump should just create his own polling company. Publish their methodologies. Make it an open and understandable process.
Been saying for a long time the downfall of Tea Party was they failed to create their own polling institution as well as failed to forthrightly deal with voting discrepancies. It's too much to ask Trump, mid campaign, to deal with the latter, but he can do the former. These Establishment polls need to be examined and their methodologies outed.
Sick of being lied to.
Other thing I am sick of? Sick of the GOPe pushing actual issues on THEIR time frame. Like this IRS impeachment JUST HAPPENS to be the same day of the Prez GOP debate and Ryan's vote?
Really?
Liars. THROW THEM ALL OUT!
I think he should ignore the polls and keep doing what he’s doing.
Amen! I don’t trust most of the polls nowadays.
great idea , and make it REAL
Allow a method where actual people can call in and submit their contact information to his polling services that makes confirmable the actual results .
I personally have NEVER been contacted by any poll , on any issue . I would gladly participate in a Trump Poll effort
I like Trump. It is perfectly believable that some people got swayed toward Carson. It’s early, most people don’t follow this stuff closely, and isn’t there a debate about to happen?
I’m sure Trump has his own polling. That doesn’t mean he wants to release it.
We cannot insist that Donald Trump leads in every poll.
Ben Carson is leading according the radio news I hear today. He will win the nomination except for all those people voting for Donald Trump who will win in a landslide.
Polls are made up of who ever pollster did them, from the candidates campaign fund to the Super pacs...
Trump hit the super pacs hard last night and there was a reason....Bush JUST happened to have a campaign thingy going on and right next to him was his super pace? That is against FEC laws....but is anyone saying anything? NO, because Jebby’cry baby’Bush is the poster child to run against shillary to win the POTUS...
WE need to find all the information we can about these crooks and get it out there....
Relax. It’s all about buzz. The media needs a narrative. Always. The last debate was the mysterious rise of Carley. Right out of thin air. Shortly thereafter she vanished.
Looks like the meme for this debate is all about Carson destroying Trump in the polls. The trouble is that Carson will now have to actually, you know, say something audible in the debate to “prove” himself to all the sheep that will now be dutifully tuned in to watch the debate. This is great for those ad revenues for CNBC, but if Carson comes across like the Walking Dead on quaaludes, he’ll be toast by Halloween.
Hear! Hear!
I know 3 people, who I thought were normal until they voted for Obama, who are voting for Trump. His crossover appeal is not being considered at all. They will more than make up for the purists who sit home again.
#8 “Walking Dead on quaaludes”
That was a ‘dead on’ description of Ben Carson.
When he operated on people he would put the patient asleep by just talking to them...Zzzzz
Live by the corrupt media polls, die by those same polls.
I agree with you, Trump cannot lead in every poll.... this is why we need reliable polling data not some “sentimental” attitude towards supposedly authoritative “names” in polls like Gallup or CBS/NYT/NBC/AP polls. They are the lying Establishmentarians!
We are so stupid to believe any of them.
Having studied a tiny bit of statistics in school, it is a science, but it must become an open and EASILY UNDERSTANDABLE science of how a poll is conducted.
We live in an age where our Government does not want the true “consent of the governed”.
You cannot have consent unless a person fully UNDERSTANDS what he is agreeing to, or voting for.
Our GOPe counts on this fact, that we have given away our consent rights by sloth and disinformation and disillusion.
Need to get it back. Need the facts, in simple terms, as to how polls are conducted. And then we need proper poll results.
With all the crap/fraud that goes on does anybody actually believe these polls.
You mean he should have internal polls?
hahaha
Even if he did and found he was behind the Trump people on this site would not believe the poll.
Trump cited the polls over-and-uver again as they pushed the only conservative out of the race.
Now they do it to him.
The Polls Are Always Right!
Novel idea
