Besides the MSM polls being skewed to favor Hillary I’m starting to wonder if her own internal polling is skewed, so as to not provoke her infamous temper. Her staff is probably just trying to survive. In other words, just keep telling her she is ahead. If she loses the meltdown will happen and the staff can run for cover then.

You raise a very interesting point.

I don’t know if you know this, but in 1980 Carter’s internal polls had him winning the election, and Reagan’s internal polls had him winning the election!

How could this happen?

Well it turned out that the Carter people always started their poll with the Presidential preference question.

The Reagan poll asked a bunch of issue-related questions and saved the Presidential preference question for last.

So for low information voters (especially “undecided voters”) the Reagan poll was a simulation of what their experience would be at the voting booth. They were forced to focus on “issues” like the Iranian hostages (not good for Carter), energy policy and gas lines (not good for Carter), inflation (not good for Carter), etc. By the time they got done with that list new Reagan voters were born.

So today the first issue question should be: “Is Hillary Clinton corrupt?”

Then take your preference poll—and watch what happens next!
