Yes, exactly.   I think the answer is they did 10 polls, and the one that came out the worst is the one they chose to report.   It's called lying with statistics. And it's also called banking the GOPe money while donors are still spending. The weird thing is I heard that Gallup was getting out of the political polling business.   I guess if the bait is tempting enough, they will stick around.

They’re not high. He appeals to a minority/plurality of Republicans in the primary. He and Jeb do the worst in polls against Hillary and Sanders. That’s been shown consistently, over and over. He is apparently the most unappealing candidate we have to everyone else besides a minority/plurality of our party.
