Meanwhile, the lead story at the top of the See BS “Evening News” was how Hillary is leading Trump by 6 points in Ohio, 46 to 40, and tied with Trump in Iowa, 40 to 40.
No mention of their OWN POLL in Pennsylvania showing Trump ahead by 5 points.
Then they showed an Electoral College map with almost all of the battleground states having a lead for Hillary.
WTF?
The PA poll wasn’t from CBS. It was posted online by a CBS affiliate in San Diego, the poll itself came from an outfit with no previously recorded polling history.
Not a CBS poll. Produced by a company called CEPEX, based out of Calgary, Canada. They’re an oil-and-gas project management company who are trying to get into the polling game. This is the first poll they’ve ever done.
Being reported by a CBS affiliate out of San Diego which is not owned by CBS.
Last American poll out of Pennsylvania was August 10 when NBC/Marist had Hillary up 11 in the head-to-head, and up 9 when Johnson and Stein were included.
As with all polls, take both the NBC and this new CEPEX poll with a grain of salt, but a 16-point swing in 10 days absent major news should be taken with a pound of salt. One (or both) of these polls is way, way off.
I don’t think late august is the time to be dumping money into expensive media advertising. Isn’t that mid to late September?
