War over polls intensifies

Want a tough job? Try being a pollster two weeks before Election Day.

Donald Trump is ripping pollsters and the media, arguing the surveys are biased against him because many include too many Democrats in their sampling surveys.

Conservative news sites have pounced on Trump’s arguments, pointing to a trio of national polls that show the race between the Republican and Democrat Hillary Clinton is a toss-up.

Trump and his supporters argue that mainstream pollsters are under-sampling Republicans to account for a rise in Independents, while failing to account for an enthusiasm gap that favors Trump or the new voters he could bring into the fold.

A half-dozen pollsters interviewed by The Hill acknowledged the difficulties of polling the 2016 race.

They blamed unprecedented volatility, two historically unpopular candidates, fast-changing voter behavior patterns and shifting demographics. All of those factors make it tough to figure out exactly who will show up on Election Day.

Even the dead can predict the winner of this election.

And why shouldn't they? They will be voting in all major Rat run cities again.

Early and often.

C'mon...we know from Wikileaks the Dems have been working with pollsters on ways to over sample Dems for a long while.

Wikileaks also confirms the MSM is working for the Democrats to push their election narrative.

All that's left is to rig the voting machines to deliver the expected outcome...and we're already seeing evidence of that in Texas.

Does anyone really think that Clinton is going to run a clean election? Trump of all people should have been preparing his 'people'
to deal with voter fraud.

We're talking about rigged polls and voting machines, well beyond the scope of a single campaign or candidate.

It's organized corruption at the highest level which should make everyone take pause, not just Trump and not just the GOP.

There are also some reasonable voices on the left who see this for what it is, but not nearly enough are speaking out.

Nevertrumps will become the Vichy French if the wicked witch wins.

No you're not.  That was voter error:

This is all bullshit, which is what we've come to expect from the conspiracy-minded Trumpkins.

There are no rigged machines, no rigged polls, no rigged anything.

But what there is is a Trumpkin base that may not turn out to vote if Trump continues to pimp his "rigged" notions.  And wouldn't that be a hoot?

They may not turn out to vote, but they will most likely turn out to violently protest the results.

The polls that start to come out this week will end up being the most accurate as polling and media companies will need to establish the reputation that they 'called it'...

...also, the closer we get to elections, the undecided voters or those who were contemplating whether or not to 'hold their nose' made their decisions.

What are they gonna do?  Burn down their own outhouses?

[ABX]

No matter who wins (and I won't dare call it, too many factors that I can't predict), November 9th is going to be a very interesting day.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

Nevertrumps will become the Vichy French if the wicked witch wins.

Another threat.

Weird, that is the second 'Vichy' charge I've received today (the other wasn't here). The other was a bit more direct:
"...Remember what happened to the Vichy traitors in France....".

No worries...the burning skulls will protect us.
