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.

I don’t trust the polls. What I find telling that the Biden camp isn’t trusting them either is the fact that he is running as if to shore up his base rather than to the middle to garner independent votes. This tells me that their internal numbers are confirming a severe lack of enthusiasm in their own party for the Biden candidacy.

Yeah—I remember the Dummies were hysterical back in 2004, particularly when the exit polls even showed Kerry winning.

Conservatives learned long ago that you _lie_ to strangers about how you voted—because the strangers are probably lefty jerks, particularly if they have any association with the lefty media.

The democrats and media have taken over the national psyche. Riots and pandemic shut-downs and hysteria rule the day. It has been the strangest year of my life and it remains strange.

The question becomes one of perspective for the nation. Prior to the virus and the Marxist/Antifa attacks on law enforcement the nation was doing incredibly well coming off of the unpopular impeachment fiasco in the house. Yet, here we are.

Do voters want to return to doing well or do they want more of the democrat vision? We will see, but for many it is difficult to remember how good we had it or why.

Exactly what I foresee. They plan to convince the small population of volatile idiots that Trump’s win is invalid and they will unleash the mayhem far greater than what we see now. They will force Trump to go heavy handed and bash him for doing it.

Bad days coming regardless. Here’s praying that good prevails when the blood stops flowing.

It looks like it. The news medis is hot on Trump’s behind but it isn’t working Despite what you read, there are too many intelligent people in the United States to believe what the media is putting out. I think he may get a good majority in spite of the cheating on write-in ballots.

The Washington Post – ABC News poll sampled 1,000 adults. Not likely voters, not registered voters, not even eligible voters, just whoever answered the phone. They also oversampled Democrats by 6 percentage points...

The press has worked to throw away what little integrity they have left...

First time I saw this was the NYC Mayoral election in ‘89. Rudy vs Dinkins. Exit polls called it for Dinkins two minutes after polls closed. Said it would be 56-44. All evening as raw numbers came in showing a 1 point difference the t as lking heads were saying.” These numbers will grow in Dinkins favor”. With 99% reporting it was Dinkins by 2.5% . News anchors said voters lied to pollsters.

See tag line. Voter fraud is the only way President Trump can be defeated.

If Trump wins by a landslide and they keep the Senate and take the house the medias toilets will be flushing for days.
Bars will be full for months.

One thing I'd like to point out about these polls, is that when you see such obvious oversampling, it was done by design. Many years ago I worked for a rather large market research company that did primarily consumer polling. The survey itself was almost like program. You had 'screener' questions up front that would allow you to identify fairly early in the process that the person you were speaking to was, in fact, someone you wanted to talk to. Early on, you'd take just about any respondent, because most of the quotas would be open for whatever individual categories the company was interested in. Towards the end though, you'd be calling, looking for a female in Delaware between 20-25 years of age that was willing to admit she drank a certain volume of (beer/soft drinks/coffee/whatever) per week. If the person you were talking with was 30, they'd be 'screen out', and the survey would essentially terminate.

You most emphatically do not just take the results from the first 1000 or so people who are willing to talk to you. That is pretty much guaranteed to screw with your results.If this were a legitimate poll, it should be set up to essentially match the approximate demographics of the last election, and you'd fill out that demographic model as you went along. Once you've reached a certain percentage of x race females of a specific age and primary party affiliation, you'd start screening them out, because they'd screw up your results.

This stuff isn't rocket science, and is extremely well understood by those who care to.

Yep, I’ve raised two conservatives.

Tell them each to convince 10 people to vote for Trump!
