ELDER PATRIOT There's a strange and growing dichotomy emerging between the polls conducted by the mainstream media and those using newer and more sophisticated analytical techniques.
The most recent poll reveals Trump is trouncing Hillary by 28 points nationwideaccording to unbiased responses from 100,000 respondents. By comparison, the average number of respondents to the last six polls cited on the Real Clear Politics website was only 2,858.
The poll uses social media through an app called Zip Question and Answer and it allows users to both ask and answer questions with instant results from a cross-section of demographics and geography.
Developer and co-founder the San Diego based company Crazy Raccoons, Ric Militi said this question was posed to users:
"New polls suggest Trump is getting crushed by Clinton. Do they reflect how you are going to vote?"
Considering the biased nature in the way the question was framed the response was shocking: 64% told Zip they would vote for Trump and only 36% responded that their choice was Clinton.
It should also be noted that social media is mostly used by younger voters who would be expected to support Mrs. Clinton indicating Trump would be even further ahead when older voters are added in.
Of course the mainstream media immediately attacked Zip Question and Answer'smethodology when the results didn't support Hillary Clinton.
USA Today reported:
"ouglas Rivers, a Stanford University political science professor and chief scientist for YouGov, which conducts online polls with such partners as CBS and the Economist, disagrees. 'What do they know about these people?' Rivers says. 'We worry a lot about who we're talking to.'"
'We worry a lot about who we're talking to." No shit. This explains why the polls conducted by the mainstream media consistently oversample registered Democrats by as much as 15% in order to get the results that satisfies their narrative that Americans are embracing the progressive agenda so strongly that they're willing to elect the a candidate they consider totally corrupt, dishonest and untrustworthy.
One such poll conducted by mainstream media member Reuters was "re-worked" to obscure a 17-point swing towards Trump in order to bring it into line with the rest of the mainstream media's "cooked" polls.
They arrogantly did this after they had released the poll's true findings that showed Trump winning. This called attention to the rampant corruption that has engulfed the old guard polling industry by shining a bright light on their collective efforts to tilt the election towards Hillary Clinton.
Pat Caddell, a respected, longtime Democratic pollster and political consultant had this to say after reviewing the differing methodologies that Reuters used to interpret the same data set, "This comes as close as I have ever seen to cooking the results. "I suppose you can get away with it in polling because there are no laws. But, if this was accounting, they would put them in jail."

the most significant feature of this poll is that it was done using social media. I presume they used facebook or twitter, but regardless, the main users of social media are young users.
If Trump wins over these young voters then Hillary is truly in trouble.
This is a crazy election and a crazy electorate.
Trump just shot ahead in the USC poll, having come back from 4 down. That’s a 5-point swing since DNC ended.
Is it an on line poll or phone calls?
What period of time?
100,000...how did the poll contact the respondents?
Oversampling of Rats by 15% no longer cuts it. They may have to double, or even triple it. Go TRUMP/PENCE!
A poll through an app Poll, is the same as an internet poll. It doesn’t matter that 100,000 people responded... Zip is an app you have to download it and it seems given the variety of questions any participant of zip can ask.... it’s mostly conservatives using it. Every question on social values or 2nd amendment right and Donald vs Hillary shows about 90+ towards the right.
If more dems or leftists start using zip, perhaps we can look at it as an indicator, but I will say the app is fun and certainly gives you a mood boost.
Social Media. Well, there’s the problem. Not everyone is on social media.
You DEVIL, you! :>)
The problem is that it did in the outcome. Is it weighted for democrat, republican, independent and undecided? If so what are the parameters. I could not get the page to scroll down so I could not read further. On line polls are not very accurate historically. If they were then we have been betrayed by massive vote fraud for several elections now.
Absolutely correct.
I can’t believe that anyone thinks Clinton has a chance at this at all. The media lackeys are trying their hardest to convince people that she is ahead but there is no way that this is true.
After Trump wins the first thing he should do is issue an executive order requiring honest in reporting across all media. Then start purging the news shows, news papers and cable news channels of those scumbags who constantly lie to the American people. Freedom of the press only works if the press is honest.
is is a credible site, but they use ads for funding. I try to post whole article, but I think too many folks were signing in to their server.
Any how, hope article will provide for your questions:
The last two paragraphs of article are:
The Zip Question and Answer poll closely aligns with the other more sophisticated polling techniques that use big data analytics. We have previously reported how big data analytics have revealed Trump’s support is surging among Hispanic voters and making significant inroads among Blacks.
Big data analytics increases accuracy by vastly increasing the sample size while eliminating all possible biases. The fact that all of this is being ignored, or even denigrated as in the case of Douglas Rivers, indicates that high-ranking Democrats and the sycophantic mainstream media are rigging the polls. We’ll examine their nefarious plan in a future article.
I agree. My WWII vet Dad REFUSED to answer ANY poll... even the polls after casting your ballot. He believed in the integrity of the secret ballot. I have been known to alter my age, sex, & sometimes my chosen candidate because I LOVE to see poll failure! I believe others do as well!
Believing in such leads us to become complacent.
