Why are FOX, CNN and MSNBC using tacky poll tactics to sway the public towards Trump and Bernie?


The only real poll!

FOX, CNN, and MSNBC are having a National Inquirer Field Day spouting misleading poll results to trump up their ratings and sway public opinion towards Trump and Bernie. It’s so tacky!

To date, Hillary Clinton has won 4.8 million of the popular vote to Trump’s 4.2 million. She has accumulated over 2.3 million more popular votes than Bernie and over 55% more pledged delegates than Bernie without super delegate votes kicking in!

FOX, CNN, and MSNBC are bending over backwards to cover up the above real poll realities!?!?

Here are just a handful of many examples:

CNN and MSNBC are flooding their airways reporting on a hypothetical FOX POLL. Their misleading FOX Poll coverage shows Trump and Bernie leading against Hillary.

What FOX, CNN, and MSNBC are not reporting about the FOX Poll is that Hillary leads Trump and Bernie among Blacks at 90%, among Hispanics at 62% and among women at 64%!

Here’s another example. FOX, CNN and MSNBC spent days upon days spouting misleading results from a Quinnipiac Poll associating Hillary as a “liar”.

What FOX, CNN and MSNBC didn’t report is that the poll sample only featured 131 respondents with just 13% of the total sample associating Hillary as a “liar”.

And that’s not all. Out of the 131 respondents sampled in the Quinnipiac Poll, only respondents were Democrats, 49 were independents and a whopping 73 were - you guessed it - Hillary-hating Republicans!

Here’s another example. FOX, CNN and MSNBC and Bernie’s propaganda outfit, US Uncut, have consistently reported a misleading Reuter’s Pollfalsely claiming that “among likely Democrats”, Bernie leads Hillary nationally.

Here’s the real deal…

The Reuters Poll sample size was not filtered to account for people who actually vote in Democratic primaries and caucuses! The poll sample could have included likely orangutans and Reuters wouldn’t have known the difference!

Furthermore, Reuters and Real Clear Politics polling graphs show an artificially larger advantage for Bernie’s polling trend lines while narrowing the time period for Hillary’s polling trend lines!

Then you have Rasmussen Polls that are notorious for statistical bias.

Rasmussen Polls always manipulate their sampling and questions with the house effect which skews their polling towards better results for Republican candidates and conservative causes.

The above tacky polling tactics are not just limited to the above polling sources. Here are more political polling house effect realities not reported by FOX, CNN, and MSNBC:

  • Out weighted samples of telephone surveys now conducted by most media outlets “cannot provide reliable estimates of population demographics like race and Hispanic ancestry,”
  • Any number of factors can cause polls by different firms to produce different results. These factors are called “house effect” – including survey dates, question wording and order, sampling and calling procedures.
  • The sharp rise in non-response to polls is “undermining the advantages of probability sampling.”
  • “Declining response rates may be complicating the ability of telephone polls to capitalize on the advantages of random sampling”.
  • Young and non-white voters are least likely to own a land line and least likely to respond to telephone pollsters.
  • Young voters are less willing to respond to telephone surveys. 

Further details on all of the above misleading poll reports can be found within the links below, but don’t be surprised.  FOX, CNN and MSNBC have been using the same tacky tactics against President Obama’s favorability ratings for the past 8 years! (See spindetectives Twisted Notions September 26, 2014 post entitled Obama Polls: The Devil is in the Details)

So, the next time you hear FOX, CNN or MSNBC promote tacky political poll results, switch to non-biased news networks like NPR or PBS.
