The Washington Post is actively trying to demoralize the Republican base to depress fundraising and recruitment and ultimately to suppress turn out in November by promoting their false narrative that Trump has no chance. Think about that before posting the same poll over and over from different sources. You know who you are.
I have called them the COMPOST for years...I have a few other names for them but FR has rules against those words so don’t use them
Also the Kenyan favorability 56-41 Fishy to the point of gagging
Thanks for making that clear. Tired of seeing this agitprop on FR.
The poll’s split among registered voters was 37(D)-27(R)-30 (I), which is pretty close to the voter ID in the population, right? Where did you get the 20+ percent stuff?
Welcome! In no way is this an attempt to impose a blanket ban on polls, however horribly flawed. The point is to issue a general guidance which boils down to this: posting the same bogus poll over and over again (even from different sources) won’t make it true and only helps in promoting the media’s anti-Trump agenda.
Don’t mention it.
Please don’t discredit the biased polls...let them think it’s in the bag ala Brexit!! So hush little baby don’t say a word!! Rueters polled with Ipsos and they had REMAIN 8pts ahead of LEAVE on the eve of the vote! The SEETHING party is going to surprise a whole lot of folk come November! AND I know hitlery’s team know these are crooked polls just like her!!!
Igot phone polled last fall by a rude guy calling fot the
WSJ-NBC poll. He asked some demographic querys and then hung up on me. I am certain that he answered for me. How thoughtful.
Not surprising at all.
Yep, totally bogus b.s. The Washington Post is the paper that ran the “TRUMP MUST LOSE” heading during the primaries. They lie in hard news pieces, they are rabid in their editorials. Even so-called “neutral” articles are not, as they are always peppered with links to up to 5 or 6 negative Trump stories. THEY LIE! Would they lie about polls, publish polls they knew were wrong? Oh, HELL yes.
The real reason for the fraudulent polling is to prepare us to accept the voter fraud.
Good point.
Any poll with a 10-point bias favoring the Democrats is flawed on its face. From all the anecdotal and direct evidence throughout this campaign, all of the energy and enthusiasm is with the Republicans, not the Democrats. Trump rallies are huge, with the number of attendees many times surpassing 15k, whereas Hillary has trouble even filling small venues. That’s not in dispute. If properly done, a poll should reflect this reality.
And of course, national polls don’t matter. State by state polls, if sampled correctly, may matter. Hillary can win 100% of the votes in New York and California, it doesn’t mean she will win the electoral college. I know you now that. So does everyone else. But it doesn’t stop people from posting and pontificating here and elsewhere for some reason, reasons you mentioned and other reasons.
Spot on.
But that enthusiasm, if it exists, wouldn’t change the voter ID of the people responding to a poll.
It might show up when you get to a likely voter screen, but this poll doesn’t do that. When it comes to just looking at party identification, I would be very skeptical of any poll CLOSER than a seven point advantage for the Democrats, and the right number is probably 9.
Republican registration in the low 20s, after the huge surge in Republican affiliation we’ve seen this year? I’m not buying it.
Not just the WP polls.
It’s Sunday so I’m not trying to start an argument
But maybe the fraudulent polls are so they can say “See? We told you trump couldn’t win” once they rig the election.
