If you are trying to follow the wild
swings in the media polling leading up to the Presidential election, you’re
probably risking whiplash. Hillary’s up, Trump is down, Trump is up, Hillary is
down. Are ANY of the polls cited by anchors and talking heads reliable?
Sundance at Conservative Treehouse followed up on the issue yesterday:
Last month [Treehouse] shared a warning to ignore the predictable post
convention media polling nonsense. That warning remains valid today.
Just because
the media is predictably beginning to sell poll stats beneficial to Donald
Trump doesn’t mean they are any less manipulated.
On June 15th aggregate
media polling had Hillary Clinton leading by 15 points. On July 15th the same media
polling had Trump +17. On August 8th the pendulum swing
was back to Hillary +15,…. and now today the media signals of a tied race begin.
It’s all
nonsense. All of it. Polls don’t swing 20 to 30 +/- points every
few weeks.

The media
outlets conducting these polls have the same bias in their statistical
representation as they publish in their daily event articles.
[examples of recent
media malpractice, mostly on CNN, follow at link]
. . .
It’s all about the media “narratives” –
manufactured for daily consumption to control voters who don’t question the
information. Watch your evening news program and see how these media talking
heads set up a “discussion” based on their phony-baloney polls, reports, etc.
It’s not just CNN. It’s the alphabet networks, Fox, or, if you’re still
getting news from the mainstream print media, it’s the NY Times and all its derivatives.
Caveat emptor!
