Media Blackout: New Poll Oversamples Democrats by 140% Masking Trump Surge
https://m.sputniknews.com ^ | September 11, 2016

The Latest Washington Post-ABC News Poll shows that Hillary maintains a five point lead over her Republican rival Donald Trump, but the demographic mix of the poll is raising alarms that the results may be cooked in Clinton’s favor.

The campaign of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton celebrated Sunday morning’s news that a major national poll showed her campaign rebuilding a five point lead against the truculent tycoon and reality television star Donald Trump after a week of attacking the Republican nominee for alleged infatuation with Vladimir Putin, Russia and the Kremlin following his appearance on Larry King’s show that is broadcasted on RT among several other international outlets.

WE’ll know on Nov. 8. The real poll will be on how many of theirs don’t show up. Which Senate seat will WE STEAL? We’re too dumb to win Colorado but Nevada is not good enough.

I’m convinced they poll mostly New York City and SodomCisco.

Did you see the thread yesterday on the important significance of Trump getting 20 to 25% of the black vote? The Rats may not be able to get away with 110% of those precincts turnout like usual. Hugh! And Series!

The headline writer can’t do math, and so makes a situation which is problematic for the poll . By the article’s own numbers, Democrats were indeed oversampled, but by 9 points, which translates into 41%, not by 141%. This was at the expense of independents and other, rather than Republicans, so it likely amounts to a 5 or 6 point difference—still enough to make a small Pub lead turn into a small Dem lead, but not enough to say that Trump is far ahead.

About 6% of Americans USED TO believe what the LSM told them. That was BEFORE this campaign season! Gotta wonder why they continue to push lies when maybe 2% believe them....is it worth it?

A 14% Rat oversample and they still only managed to get a 5% lead?

The same silly pollsters had Carter up nine points on Reagan in mid-October of 1980. Then they explained Carter's 10-point loss on a late "Reagan surge."

Nonsense, Reagan had that election all the way. They were just gaming the polls as long as they possibly could so that they could demoralize the Reagan vote and discourage Democrats from crossing over.

If you look at the internals, you have to laugh. D+10? Even in 2012, Obama won with D+6 turnout. They will be lucky to see D+2 this go around.

Trump is also killing it among Independents. He's 20 points up among Independents in the recent Gallup poll. That's already 15 points better than how Romney did among them in 2012. That alone practically ensures a Trump victory. Add in the Democrat crossover, an energized GOP turnout and a depressed Democrat turnout (as we saw in the primaries) and you have your landslide.

They might be lies...

But they are lies the people want to hear.

She may be rising in the polls again. The sympathy vote is totally irrational and very strong among women and some men.

And to think he just restored their press credentials.
This morning on CNBC’s Squawk Box, he predicted that he would get ambushed by the forthcoming debate moderators.
He expected them to make up for all the criticism Matt Lauer received and said he wanted to debate Hildabeast one-on-one without any moderators. Still, he seems ready to go ahead and participate in the debates as they stand right now.
Hope he doesn’t experience a Candy Crowler set up like Mittens did. For his reputation as a shrewd negotiator, I cannot understand why his team accepted Lester Holt, Martha Raddatz and especially Chris Wallace???!!!!

We have a “Frisco” in North Central Texas and that’s insulting enough for me.

High levels of vote fraud require that there be no Republican poll watchers who will object. In PA (and I guess other states) the poll officials are required to be residents of the district, which makes it hard to find poll watchers in many inner-city polls.

That may change now.

“About 6% of Americans USED TO believe what the LSM told them.” The “LSM”? No! It has morphed into the “Ministry of Truth.” How in the world could Orwell ever imagine his book would become TRUTH? Well, it now is.
