Reuters/Ipsos Exit Poll: 3 in 4 Think Economy ‘Rigged’ for ‘Rich and Powerful,’ Want ‘Strong Leader’
Breitbart ^ | 11/8/2016 | Breitbart News

Posted on 11/08/2016 3:00:32 PM PST by nhwingut

(REUTERS) Americans who had cast their votes for the next president early on Tuesday appeared to be worried about the direction of the country, and were looking for a “strong leader who can take the country back from the rich and powerful,” according to an early reading from the Reuters/Ipsos national Election Day poll. The poll of more than 10,000 people who have already cast their ballots in the presidential election showed a majority of voters are worried about their ability to get ahead and have little confidence in political parties or the media to improve their situation. A majority also feel that the economy is rigged to mostly help the wealthy.

The poll, which will be updated as additional responses are tallied and votes are counted throughout Tuesday, found:

– 75 percent agree that “America needs a strong leader to take the country back from the rich and powerful.”

– 72 percent agree “the American economy is rigged to advantage the rich and powerful.”

– 68 percent agree that “traditional parties and politicians don’t care about people like me.”

– 76 percent believe “the mainstream media is more interested in making money than telling the truth.”

OK, based on that, how can you vote for the status quo candidate, an inveterate liar at that?

CNN exit polls predict a massive Clinton landslide. We’ll see.

Basically Trump’s stump speech...
Rigged
Corrupt media
Establishment hacks (traditional parties)
Wrong track
Need a strong leader

Yet someone on another thread said he was watching CNN and seeing the look on Wolf’s face (looks like he was ready for suicide watch).

Right...because people who want change always break for the candidate who’s effectively running for the incumbent’s third term.

Hope I’m wrong. Just a lot of conflicting things coming in. I am not clinging to anything until I see returns.

CNN really reported this, or are you being facetious??

Pat Caddell is right. Regardless of who wins (please be Trump!), a majority of Americans are looking for change, and we’re not talking about giveaways or open borders or bogus healthcare “savings” or having few employment avenues ...

There’s a lot of fog and dust of war remaining yet.

68% Traditional parties, politicians don’t care about me
76% Mainstream media more interested in $$ than Truth”
