Are Fake News Polls Hiding a Potential Trump Landslide?
American Thinker ^ | 07/27/2020 | Brian Joondeph

Listen to network or cable news and you will hear that the November election is over. Joe Biden has a growing double-digit lead over President Trump, despite the election being over three months away and the issues that may decide the election largely unknown at present.

What do the polls say? Biden’s campaign manager, also known as CNN, has their “poll of polls” described as, “the five most recent national telephone polls measuring the view of registered voters.” Considering that only 58 percent of eligible voters went to the polls in 2016, CNN’s “poll of polls” may not be particularly representative of the electorate.

CNN’s headline screams déjà vu, “Biden maintains a double-digit lead over Trump nationally.” That’s it then, the election is over. Trump supporters may as well pack it up and stay home. At least that is what they want you to believe.

Four years ago, the media was singing the same tune. On June 26, 2016, Time reported, “Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton holds a double-digit lead over presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump.” How did that turn out?

To Clinton’s credit, despite her falls, bizarre facial tics, needing to be carried into a van, and overall unlikability, she was generally coherent. Unlike Biden who can’t get through a scripted interview without saying something incoherent, as he recently claimed his campaign attorneys are reaching out to “voter registration physicians.”

Perhaps he was referring to the next Nolan Ryan, baseball pitcher Dr Fauci, who through his ever-changing recommendations is seeking to influence the election in a way Russia could only dream of.

Let’s look at CNN’s gaggle of polls.

What if the polls showed Trump was ahead. What would we be doing differently?

They likely already do. Which is why Trump's campaign is expanding into MN, ME, NH and NV.

Like I said, if Trump was ahead, nobody in the MSM would tell us anyhow. I see no scenario where a mainstream poll will ever show Trump ahead.

There is a big difference between internal polls (paid for by campaigns) and external polls (conducted by mainstream media). The internal polls tell the real tale and that is why you see the Trump campaign expanding into states they did not win in 2016.

Totally agree. Polling has been basterdized to sway voting decisions. Polling should be made illegal with a mandatory 5 year jail sentence.

I always hesitate to use the word “Landslide” since I thought no-way Obama would win—and did twice—so I’ll just say I think the polls are really wrong.

Yes. Yes they are.

We have had THREE pieces this week suggesting this. First two were by DemoKKKrat orgs ‘concerned” about voter enthusiasm. Carville today urged Demented Perv Biteme not to “panic.” Wait, why should he panic? I thought he was winning by 30.

They know President Trump will win in a landslide.

And a decent chance Trump will win Oregon!

If Biden was really ahead, he’d be out there, not hiding in his basement. The media/dem complex wouldn’t be inciting riots throughout the country either.

Do the dems really think that riots in democrat run cities are the way to win people over to their side? I would think that a lot of people in those cities would get fed up with seeing their cities being ripped apart and retaliate by voting for Trump.

The lesson of this summer is not learned from the polls.

The lesson of the summer of 2020 is that all those associated in any manner with the marxist political organization known as Black Lives Matter have forfeited their right to call themselves American. They are black riff raff and or white riffraff black wannabe’s

The only people answering polls are sitting in front of the TV
watching Sponge Bob and smoking weed.

I think the polls are designed to delegitimize the Trump victory. With all the polls predicting a Biden landslide the Left can claim a Trump win to be a result of vote tampering. The Left did a trial run on this in ‘04 when exit polls showed Kerry, he was in Vietnam, cruising to an easy win. They claimed the computerized voting machines were rigged. The Left will now scream “ How could the honest polls be so wrong?”

Polls are to influence the public to accept the outcome from voter fraud.

They are putting LESS Republicans 24% or less than the 33% which equals the amount og GOP voters represented in exit polls in 2018 and 2016

So true.

The DNC and MSM are habituating Liberals and all of America to the ANTIFA escalation of violence when the Trump re election is announced.

They have absolutely NO intention of ever ending their tantrum.

Too many bridges have been crossed, too many careers have been put at chance, too many people have a stake in the course Nan and friends have initiated.

There's NO WAY back for any of these people. And either with or without a Trump re election, the Liberals’ plan for the future IS incessant violence and discord.

Their agenda is SO toxic that nothing will be accomplished without outright force and they KNOW it. It's why they have staked absolutely EVERYTHING on open contempt for the Constitution and for the American taxpayer. No one will walk away from this unchanged. THAT is the Conservative ace in the hole, here. Many otherwise disinterested people are aroused and angered. I am witnessing it daily. My own nephew, who is laughably un political, is NOW wholly attentive to Liberal lawlessness. He has discovered that he CAN engage 'political issues' . If a person so completely apathetic is finally aware - then Liberals is committing suicide.

Ah, thanks. Yes if anything GOP turnout should be higher than 2018 and 2016, not lower.

In 2018—Scott Adams stated—a large % of all Americans, including some GOP, believed the Russia collusion hoax and also the Charlottesville hoax and that hurt the GOP that year and the GOP lost the House.

Vote!

And get 10 more people to vote for Trump.

It’s the most effective action.

The other effective action is to have lots of kids who are also conservative. I have four—three are old enough to vote now. Two are conservative; one is libertarian, none are Dem. My third will turn 18 in October and his very first vote will be for Trump.

Apparently the Trump campaign is running this excellent ad in NJ:

It will be interesting to see how much it moves the numbers there....
