Warning: Washington Post polls are junk surveys with major sampling bias issues

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.

[Tau Food]

I have been saying for weeks that polls cannot be trusted on this matter. There are folks trying to steal the nomination from Trump and they are using these phony polls as a weapon.

[Sidebar Moderator]

Yup, it lays the groundwork.

[Sidebar Moderator]

That’s true, but WaPo polls are laughingly bogus.

[VerySadAmerican]

There is absolutely no way Hillary can win the presidency without it being rigged. And that would fall under the category of “evil intervention”.

I started to say “no way in hell” then I thought “Actually, there’s no way outside of hell” she can win.

I got called by an NBC/WSJ pollster and I hung up on HIM!

[Albion Wilde]

Thank you, Sidebar Moderator. You saved me a couple of sharply-worded confrontations.

[Sidebar Moderator]

You’re quite welcome.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Ive seen other polls floating around that have been 53(D) and 36(R) that one I saw today not sure if it was the Washington Compost poll or another one there have been so many BS polls going around lately

[Georgia Girl 2]

Thank you.

[Genoa]

Thanks. MSM polls had Jimmy Carter with a big summer lead over Ronald Reagan in 1980. Polls at this point are totally a reflection of media influence over the minds of the voters. (Even good polls, and this one isn’t.)

[djstex]

Agree!
KEEP On Trumpin!
He's our Next President!

[xzins]

Exactly. They can safely rig their software.

We need paper and purple thumb

Polls, especially early polls, are political propaganda.

They show how much contempt those who publish them have for us.

[marktwain]

“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?”

From Gallup, 29% (D) 26%(R) 42%(I).

I believe your numbers are out of date.

http://www.gallup.com/poll/188096/democratic-republican-identification-near-historical-lows.aspx

To move from 29 to 37 is an increase of 8, a 28% increase in the Democrat sample size. The (R) sample was increased by about 4% as well.

[TChad]

Polls are not what they used to be. An 80% response rate in the 1970s had declined to 8% in 2014, and is probably lower than that now.

[V K Lee]

Thank you. All day long have been running across that blasted head line thinking....gee, will look who’s talking! Nice to have basic instinct proven correct.

[Grampa Dave]

Thank you!

There have been a number of us trying point out the bias in many polls.

Anything the Compost puts out re Trump is a lie.

Thanks Timestax!

[Grampa Dave]

Besides the Composts drugged out wet dreams posting as polls, the WSJ/NBC Agenda push polls posing as real polls are even worse.

We get the same WSJ/NBC Agenda push polls posted by the same concerned trolls time after time.

Below is an earlier article warning us about the WSJ/NBC Agenda push polls:

Three Strikes - 3rd Time This Campaign Season NBC/WSJ Caught Promoting Agenda Polls:

The Conservative Treehouse ^ | 02/17/2016 | Sundance
Posted on 2/17/2016, 4:57:15 PM by PJBankard

The team of NBC and Wall Street Journal (Rupert Murdoch owned) has struck again with their latest highly coordinated and heavily manufactured latest “Agenda Poll”. We have previously revealed NBC/WSJ’s prior two constructs.......
[SNIP]
Remember, an “agenda poll” is not created to show a statistical snapshot of the presidential race. An “agenda poll” has nothing to do with the support. Agenda Polls are manufactured to create media talking points, to create media narratives.

Agenda polling is about setting out to make a story, to sell a specific narrative, by using polling as the means to justify the story you are selling. Nothing more, and nothing less.
