The last day of the sample showing Ben’s big jump only has 195 reapondents. 10/29 has 349, 10/28 has 407, 10/27 has 530. Actually, dates before 10/26 routinely have no samples less than 600. So, Reuters is playing with the sample data to fit their narrative that Ben is surging when he’s not. Even with the small sample sizes Trump is up 5. While it’s a fact that Ben is the solid #2, Reuters engaging in the same chicanery as the others. Small sample sizes, big margins of error and a narrative that this is tied when not. If you unfilter and just go by raw data it’s Trump 26-17.

Exactly, numbers are being manipulated to show a big Carson boost that doesn’t exist.

Yes, when I unfilter it comes out different....so they are messing around with the polls...in bed with Hillary no doubt, can’t be with ‘cry baby’ Bush, he’s toast...watch what they do with Rubio would be my next guess....
