| Trumps Bad Poll Numbers? Blame Rigged Media Polls |
| 2017-01-17 |
| Remember all the media mea culpas after the election, about getting this thing and that thing all wrong and vowing to fix all of that? Complete fucking horseshit. In the month leaded up to the election on November 8th, we repeatedly demonstrated how the mainstream media polls from the likes of ABC/Washington Post, CNN and Reuters repeatedly manipulated their poll samples to engineer their desired results, namely a large Hillary Clinton lead (see "New Podesta Email Exposes Playbook For Rigging Polls Through 'Oversamples'" and "ABC/Wapo Effectively Admit To Poll Tampering As Hillary's "Lead" Shrinks To 2-Points"). In fact, just 16 days prior to the election an ABC/Wapo poll showed a 12-point lead for Hillary, a result that obviously turned out to be embarrassingly wrong for the pollsters. But, proving they still got it, ABC/Washington Post and CNN are out with a pair of polls on Trump's favorability this morning that sport some of the most egregious "oversamples" we've seen. The ABC/Wapo poll showed an 8-point sampling margin for Democrats with only 23% of the results taken from Republicans... |

| #2 Given the fact that we have had stories about Obumble still being over 50%, people were warming to Trump but now the numbers are horrible and pretty much every other poll the Ministry of Truth puts out... anyone who believes this shit is either a true believer or lying. |

| #1 Interesting how the two highest favorability ratings in these "polls" went to Carter and Obama. That should put the validity of these polls to rest. |
