Yesterday, I reported a new poll that showed Donald Trump +5 ahead of Hillary Clinton in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania. CBS8 reported a story about this poll, conducted by Project Execution, explaining that results showed Trump leading Clinton 41.9% to 36.5%.
CBS8 has since mysteriously removed the page with their report on this poll for some reason, perhaps the person who wrote it wasn’t aware it didn’t fit the mainstream media’s narrative of Donald Trump being doomed beyond all hope.
The original link to this CBS8 story can be found here, which you can see now comes up with a page not found message.
Fortunately you can still view an achieve of their original story here.
At least the company that performed this poll showing a Donald Trump lead in PA has not yet removed their press release regarding its results.
From Project Execution:
TRUMP LEADS CLINTON by 5+ POINTS in the KEY BATTLEGROUND STATE of PENNSYLVANIA
PRESS RELEASE AUG 20, 2016 19:00 MDT
REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE DONALD TRUMP HAS SURGED TO A 5-POINT LEAD OVER DEMOCRATIC RIVAL HILLARY CLINTON IN THE KEY BATTLEGROUND STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA AS PER A LATEST POLL.
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, August 20, 2016 (Newswire.com) – Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has surged to a 5-point lead over democratic rival Hillary Clinton in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania as per the poll conducted by CEPEX Center for Excellence in Project Execution, on Friday (19th Aug 2016).
Trump leads Clinton 41.9 percent to 36.5 percent, with 21.5 percent voters undecided. Trump’s lead is just inside the margin of error and marks the first time that the Republican candidate is catching up in the traditional stronghold state of the democratic party.
“With the undecided voters holding the key which way the state eventually goes in November, both the campaign teams will be tweaking their ground games to win over this key demographic” – Parth Mukherjee, Expert Principal, CEPEX Center for Excellence in Project Execution. “One of the reasons of Trump’s surge is attributable to increasing support from the women” – added Mukherjee.PARTH MUKHERJEE, EXPERT PRINCIPAL
The survey contacted around 1,000 registered voters. Results are estimated to be accurate within 7.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. According to CEPEX analysis, the error percentage is high due to the results obtained from just one day of polling. Subsequent polling would be required to reduce the error percentage.
While it is noteworthy that Trump is making headway in this battleground state, the undecided voters hold the key to the eventual outcome on Nov 8.
“With the undecided voters holding the key which way the state eventually goes in November, both the campaign teams should be tweaking their ground games to win over this key demographic” – Parth Mukherjee, Expert Principal, CEPEX Center for Excellence in Project Execution.
“One of the reasons of Trump’s surge is attributable to seemingly strong support from the women” – added Mukherjee.
CEPEX Center for Excellence in Project Execution will continue to conduct independent polls in the various states leading up to the presidential election this November.
President Trump will need to request his FCC investigate and if confirmed, strip the licenses from the fifth-column ABCCBSNBC media stations.
It most likely got yanked because the validity of the poll is questionable, to say the least. It was posted to the website of a CBS affiliate in San Diego. The poll came from a company called Cepex, which is a consulting firm that works in the oil and gas industry. No previous history of any kind of polling until this one.
Thanks for the link.
The headline or poll which came out yesterday 8/21/2016, stated, “Trump Leads Clinton by 5+ Points in the Key Battleground State of Pennsylvania”.
Do you find it a bit odd that this story/poll just hours after it was published, has already been archived by this news organization?
It doesn’t fit the narrative they are trying to portray. Remember the CNN poll regarding Donald Trumps Convention speech?
That poll is so yesterday
A confidence level of 95% within seven points?
That poll is next to worthless.
You may wonder, but Romney remains clueless.
What discourages me the most is not cooked/rooked polls, but the strong possibility of massive vote fraud in what may be a close election.
I understand. And it begs the question, why would they even put it up?
And you mentioned, "It’s archived, so it’s not gone actually."
But the fact is, it for all intents and purposes it's gone for the general public. I base this on the fact, even the individual who posted this thread felt is was "Gone" or scrubbed. So it's pretty much "Gone", right?
One thing to note about the polling. While Dick Morris is not exactly a friend of most of us, he does know polling.
I heard him interviewed today and he said that when they went back to the pre-election polls for the Primaries, Trump averaged 5 points higher than the polling...which verifies that some people were lying to pollsters. Hard to believe that will not be the case in November...when people of the privacy of voting, rather than answering a call from a stranger.
Also noted by Morris, and noted elsewhere, is that Trump does better on Internet polls. Note that these polls are run by top-notch pollsters, such as the LA Times and Zogby (i.e., not by Drudge having his own poll). Same effect.
Bottom line, DO NOT GET DISCOURAGED by polling numbers, at worst it’s a tie for Trump now...if patterns hold up.
KFMB (CBS8) did not post “their report.” They posted a press release from a polling organization that paid a service to spread their press releases that in turn pays KFMB to run a bunch of press releases on their website.

And then there’s THIS!! But, because the pubby establishment hates Trump more than they do Hitlery, they will do NOTHING about it!!
Devvy writes on a subject that has been on my radar for years and SHOULD concern anyone who values freedom and HONEST ELECTIONS!
“Those who vote decide NOTHING. Those who COUNT the votes decide EVERYTHING!” Stalin
How does YOUR state stack up??

Good Lord. A robocall poll only to landlines? Why publish it in the first place?
Because whoever commissioned this wanted to get what they paid for.
I can tell you first hand in PA, I see new Trump signs popping up in people’s yards every week. This is outside the big cities though, it’s the urban voters that we’ve got to out number come November.
Certainly the Democrat Attorney General being forced out in disgrace there would help the cause.
