    ABC/Wapo Effectively Admit To Poll Tampering

    ABC/Wapo Effectively Admit To Poll Tampering

    by Tyler Durden

    Just yesterday we wrote about the very curious ABC / Wapo poll which seemed to show Hillary's blow-out 12-point lead from last Sunday get cut in half in a matter of just two days. But the ABC/Wapo enigma continues to grow today as their latest poll shows the presidential race has now tightened to just 2 points, which is within the margin of error. Ironically, these new results do not reflect the latest FBI bombshell as polling was concluded on October 27th and it still includes an 8-point sampling advantage for democrats.


    METHODOLOGY – This ABC News/Washington Post poll was conducted by landline and cellular telephone Oct. 24-27, 2016, in English and Spanish, among a random national sample of 1,148 likely voters. Results have a margin of sampling error of 3 points, including the design effect. Partisan divisions are 37-29-29 percent, Democrats-Republicans-independents.

    So what happened? For months we have argued that these goal-seeking reports (aka "Polls") can be easily manufactured to show whatever results are desired by simply "tweaking" the sample pool.

    WikiLeaks even exposed a handy guide 37-page poll-rigging guide on how to "include ethnic 'oversamples' as required" to manufacture the desired poll numbers. But, with today's latest ABC / Washington Post poll, the real "smoking gun" admission is revealed as the pollsters admit that the narrowing of their polling results are "not mainly about people shifting in their candidate preference" but about how their sample pool was constructed.


    "Changes in the poll’s latest four nights compared with the previous four are not mainly about people shifting in their candidate preference, but about changes in who’s intending to vote."

    So that's how you manufacture inane results like this:



    Now, while ABC / Wapo claim that the 10-point swing (in less than a week) was driven by changes in "who's intending to vote," we find it quite curious that their own data shows just a 2-point swing in people who said they were "certain to vote" on 10/23, when the poll reflected a 12-point Hillary lead, and 10/27 when the lead had collapsed to just 2 points. So, are we really expected to believe that a 2-point swing in voter intentions somehow translated to a 10-point swing in the poll results? Not likely...something tells us it had a little more to do with including "ethnic 'oversamples' as required."



    So, now that ABC / Wapo have effectively declared their own poll utterly useless, the question is what were their motivations for skewing their polling data? We have a couple of ideas:


    • Trump is simply experiencing a huge surge in momentum...seems odd to have this kind of surge on minimal news (remember the poll was taken prior to the recent FBI disclosures).
    • ABC / Wapo pollsters got a slap on the wrist from the Hillary campaign for getting a bit overzealous on their manufactured 12-point "lead" which could have resulted in lower voter turnout for Hillary.
    • ABC / Wapo reviewed early voting stats starting to come in around the country and realized that their polls were in no way reflective of reality and decided they'd rather not lose ALL credibility (though it may be a bit too late for that).

    Exclamation

    Please note:


    Partisan divisions are 37-29-29 percent, Democrats-Republicans-independents.
    I wonder why the poll indicates the Democrat is leading?

    If you take a poll to see if Coke or Pepsi is more popular and your sample divisions are 37-29, Coke lovers, Pepsi lovers, who do you think is going to come out on top in your poll?!?

    These biased bought of pollsters are lying to try to elect Hillary Clinton. Now that Election Day is close they are bringing the polls closer to the real truth that Trump is winning to hedge their bets. They could not hold that lie of a poll about Clinton being ahead 12 points for long when she is most likely either even with and behind Trump.

    But all the misinformed masses will hear is the 12 point lead lie. That way, if Trump wins on election night some of them may riot claiming he cheated to win.

    ABC and NBC/CNBC both have done this, they are the ones with the 10 plus point leads for Clinton to skew the real politics average by several points in favor of Clinton. They take turns. Then US Today and Reuters got into the game with 13 and 14 point leads for Clinton. Also taking turns. It's been a CORRUPT MEDIA collusion to deceive the public in a Presidential Election. These are not "Outliers", these are not "mistakes" or "anomalies".

    It's fraud and deceptive trade practices against every cable subscriber, election fraud against every cable subscriber who votes in this election, and a violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act.

    The mainstream media can be counted on for the truth as much as you could count on Pravda telling you the truth about the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

    I think Pravda was closer to the truth on the Cold War than this CORRUPT MEDIA has been about this election.
