Most of the top political polls that got the 2016 presidential race dead wrong are continuing to use a flawed methodology in rating President Trump's approval ratings that favors Democrats, women and younger voters, according to a new analysis.
The report shows that the mainstream polls oversample an average of 29 percent more Democrats than Republicans and the results skew anti-Trump. The result is that it robs Trump of about 8 points in his approval ratings, from 46 percent to 38 percent, it said.
And, said the report from Bombthrowers.com, one outfit, the Economist, used 58 percent more Democrats than Republicans in a recent poll on Trump's approval ratings.
"In every poll, Democrat respondents outnumbered Republicans by significant amounts. The Economist poll was the worst. Only 24 percent of respondents (360) were Republicans compared to 38 percent (570) Democrats which means that 58 percent more Democrats were polled than Republicans, as shown in the %D/R column. On average, in these seven widely recognized national polls, only 29 percent (409 people) of the total 1,383 polled were Republicans, while 37 percent (518) were Democrats. Another way of saying it is that, on average, 29 percent more Democrats than Republicans were polled," wrote James Simpson, an economist, businessman and journalist.
Simpson called the practice "fraud."

Where did you get your vote totals?
I disagree that presidential election polls taken in the last weekend of the campaign were fraudulent.
From memory...
There were 21 national polls taken.
None of those polls asked if Trump would win the Electoral College. All the polls just measured the popular vote.
16 of the 21 polls called the popular vote within the margin of error, which was usually plus or minus 3%.
One of the polls that scored outside the margin of error called the popular vote for Trump.
And one of the polls that scored inside the margin the error called the popular vote for Trump.
Almost all of the weekend polls claimed Clinton would win the popular vote by 3%-5%.
She actually won by 2.1%.
This country is in danger.
And the democratic party is a bigger danger to the country than any threats from outside the country.
We are in a war, and the enemy is destroying us from within.
“Where did you get your vote totals?”
wiki and everwhere else has:
Trump: 63M WINNER!!
Clinton: 66M (with vote fraud)
Subtract out 4M from Clinton for vote fraud. 66 - 4 = 62
Clinton: 62M with vote fraud taken into consideration
Therefore:
63M voted for Trump
62M voted for Clinton
Re: “The population contains more Republicans than Democrats.”
Sorry, that’s not correct.
Republicans in general, and white Conservatives specifically, usually have the highest voter turn out, which is the only reason we won in 2000, 2004, and 2016.
White Democrats and Black voters almost always have lower turn out than Republicans. The exceptions - young white Democrats turned out in record numbers in 2008. In 2012, Black voters turned out in record numbers.
Hispanic turn out is the worst of all, usually 40%-45% of eligible Hispanic voters. If not for Republican Cubans, Hispanic turn out would probably be below 40%.
Bottom Line...
Democrats can win any national election they want to with LEGAL voters, but only if they can get their core voters to the polls.
This has gone on for years.
They used a different trick in the election runup.
They oversampled higher college degrees by a massive amount - since ill ary did great with that group.
When he poll is 50% college degreed, it is fraudulent.
Why doesn’t Karl Rove demand pollsters stop with these tactics?
“We are in a war, and the enemy is destroying us from within.”
Yes. The Marxist-socilaists’ plan has succeeded. Obama was a great win for them. Familiar with The Frankfurt School?
