Two Poll Numbers That Explain So Much — If True
Rush Limbaugh Show ^ | 7/29/20 | Kekst

Posted on 07/30/2020 8:03:16 AM PDT by Riflema

Well, we have a couple of polls, I guess, research studies that may explain a lot. One of them I had not heard of, and the results in this one are gonna stun you. Maybe they won’t.

...SNIP...

And it is essentially this. The average American believes that 9% of the U.S. population have already died from COVID-19. Nine percent of the U.S. population is 30 million people. So the average American thinks that 9% of the population’s already died, 30 million people are dead. Now, why would they think such a thing? Sadly, it is a testament to the Drive-By Media.

Well, I heard Rush mention this yesterday and was, as they say back home, gobsmacked. I didn't catch him say the name of the poll yesterday but it's up on his public site today. You can get to the actual PDF published by the poll at Kekst Poll

The numbers on Page 24 are, to me, frightening. People actually think that in the US 9% of the population have died of Wuhan Flu.

And these people are likely able to vote. You can extrapolate where our country and future goes from there...

All because Mike Pence has done NOTHING to keep control of the messaging since April.

9% have died? The evidence indicates that no more than 0.8% have even been infected and only a very small percentage of those infected die.

No way will they re-elect a President who they think has presided over the deaths of 30 million fellow citizens.

Mike Pence could be replaced with a cardboard cutout.

That just shows 30 million people are idiots which I think is low by about 130 million.

As the survey notes, the public is off by 225x for the US (100x for the UK etc.). I’m still stunned. In the underlying data for the US the estimate ranged from 15% for youts, to only 3.8% for 65+ which shows something...

IF the 9% figure were remotely true the LEft wing media would be running continuous stories of the bodies being carried out of the hospitals. There'd be interviews with doctors, nurses, etc.

That we're not seeing those tells you what you need to know.

For the first time in 4 years, I’m starting to think we lose.

If Pence has any presidential ambitions he does’t fare better with Trump losing then challenging the dem in a future race. I hope he knows that.

They were just confused. 30 million is the number of patriots that will be murdered if the marxists get control.

Pretty much. All it would have taken would have been a calm daily reminder on what the actual risks are....and aren't. And real data on things like death counts.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

And who is ultimately in charge of:
Pence?
Fauci?
Barr?

I’ve had a nagging thought that I’ve been bothered by for awhile now. You can extrapolate from this quote from Henry Gondorff (Paul Newman) in the movie The Sting:

‘Never let the mark know they’ve been conned’.

Conservatives would be the mark that I am concerned about.

With all due respect to Mr. Limbaugh, I don’t see where many voters have the math skills to take a moment to pause and translate alleged 9% people dead from COVID-19 to 30 million people in their heads.

On the other hand, many voters probably watch CNN.

Insights welcome.

Rush said yesterday that Rat Party Headquarters,and their co-conspirators in the press,want Americans to believe that everyone who tests positive dies...eventually.

That's why MSLSD shouts "cases skyrocketing" rather than "with increased testing more positive results are see although only a very small percentage of those testing positive become seriously ill"

And Rush said that millennials who were polled truly believe that everyone who gets WuFlu DIES. He said the MSM reports it, carefully worded, that implies everyone dies, although they don’t come out and say it.

Why don’t they just SAY “everyone dies!”? They lie about everything else.

This is more frightening......

Gallup claims that Black Lives Matter protests have changed 65% of Americans’ views on racial justice and that half of the respondents now feel connected to the protest cause.

Actually, we caught a break—but you need to take a step back and a deep breath to see it.

It is July. The virus is virtually over in about twenty states.

In the remaining states it is peaking now and will be over in at most a month or two.

That takes us to September.

The election is still two months after that.

The Trump campaign is smart, and they will make the Democrat riots the number one issue.

Here is a Trump campaign ad that should cheer you up:
