Half a Dozen News Sites Stop Polling Their Readers on Who Won the Presidential Debate
Breitbart.com ^ | 10-10-2016 | EZRA DULIS

Half a dozen news outlets skipped posting snap polls after the second 2016 presidential debate on Sunday — most likely because Donald Trump touted his dominance of their polls after the first debate in September.

The first presidential debate was a tough one for Republican presidential candidate Trump, but he publicly declared victory by citing a slew of unscientific online polls where respondents said he beat his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. The Daily Mail rounded up the results of many of these snap polls, as well, with a headline blaring “Trump won debate by a landslide.”

Liberal: "We only do SCIENTIFIC polls."

The People: "What is a scientific poll?"

Liberal: "If the poll shows Hillary losing, it isn't scientific."

I guess they figure if they know they won’t like the answers, it’s better not to ask the questions.

If asked they will probably tell you Hillary won
and it is now “settled science.”

The PBS poll didn’t work for me last night or today.

CNN, well, they’re a joke.

I tried to vote in several of the polls listed at the Conservative Treehouse link and none of them would accept my vote today. Last night I voted in a couple of polls, but they were slow in accepting my Trump vote. I had to try several times to get it to go through.

Same here. I considered selecting Hillary in the PBS poll just to see if the vote would go in, but I decided not to play the media's games.

We can’t have Hillary seeing any poll showing she lost the debate in Biblical proportions. There will be gnashing of teeth, flying ashtrays and cowering Secret Service Agents, and we we don’t want that.

I was going to say why even bother with having these polls? Just come out with some bogus information that they claimed to have gathered and report it as fact. A lie told often enough, and the MSM has lied for a LONG time, starts to become believed as fact.

Presumably because their IT guys aren’t smart enough to rig the vote counter to make Hillary win. So “screw you guys we’re going home!”

There is nothing “scientific” about a scientific poll.

My landline now rings probably 6 to 8 to 10 times a day, and it has never been worse than during the last 8 years of Obama. They get my number on the internet or elsewhere even when it is unlisted. NO CALL lists are totally useless. These sales jobs, con jobs, sickos, on and on, call and call without consequence so I NEVER answer my land line unless I recognize the number. My voice mail on the land line is full of BEEEP where the same number calls every 15 minutes but leaves no message, or the phony “This is the IRS” in a Pakistani accent calls, all scum and I never answer the phone and actually today I am going out and buying a new land line phone which I can somehow block or turn off the ringer and connection easily.

I have never been polled. The only people who get called are soap opera couch potatoes and welfare cases and sometimes someone who works graveyard et all, but most are like me, either not home or never, never answer.

Now the cell phone rings, too. But I use software to help block and avoid.

The actual respondents to “scientific” polls are those who are paid to respond and typically leftists, or others watching soap operas are illiterates et all.

What is so “scientific” about a phone? Especially a land line?

This is pathetic.

In my opinion, while all polls are suspect, certainly there is a lot to be desired of internet polls, these online polls get such HUGE numbers of respondents and participation they are certainly a peek into “trending”. You can see it clearly, that Trump won. Doesn’t matter that some are doing robo responses or other - both sides do it and equal each other out, but many at work at my office, others on the road, et all, DO VOTE on these and are LEGIT VOICES.

The “scientific” polls to me are MORE suspect to agendists. Certainly I put next to nothing in a CNN poll in the current environment and regarding the debate. I have no doubt, it is total crap. I do not trust ANY WSJ poll, the toadies of the cheap labor interests.

Congrats Trump on winning the debate.

Boy isn’t that the truth. The word must be out at Fox from the $hitball Murdochs that the tune has to change. Nevertheless, Bot Newt and Giuiliani scholled him right on TV.

Hillary went tactical and talked about specific issues regarding the SCOTUS.

Trump went strategic and talked about upholding the constitution.

Which one sounded more presidential?

The media is busy setting the next anti-Trump narrative.

Flipping through the talking heads this morning is like bizarro world.

CNN also dropped their online poll.

Could it be they would have have to report the results of their online poll?
And if you don’t have an online poll you don’t have to report results?

Instead, they rigged a scientific poll.
Weighed heavy with RATs.

What was CNN afraid of with an online poll?
I know. And so does everybody here.

I think the Trump campaign better think ahead a little and contract the Orkin man and Roto Rooter to prepare to fumigate and thoroughly clean and bleach the WH.

They’re usually fairly quick, but this time around there’s eight years of...who knows what to get rid of. They’ll need time to stock up on the proper chemicals to use and get HazMat clearance as well.

A new 747-8 wouldn’t hurt either. I’m sure Boeing will be happy to accommodate.
