After correcting for bias, Clinton's national lead in CBS News poll evaporates
American Thinker ^ | June 16,2016 | Sierra Rayne

According to nationwide polling data, Republican Party affiliation has averaged 28% for 2016 so far, and it also averaged 28% since the start of May. This agrees well with the CBS News poll's composition.

On the other hand, the last time the Democrats were at 35% was early March...of 2013. Since May of this year, Democratic party affiliation has averaged 29%, just 1% higher than the Republicans, not 7% higher.

As a result, this CBS News poll appears to be biased in favor of the Democrats by the same margin that Clinton purportedly holds over Trump, meaning that if the bias is removed, so is Clinton's lead, and we have a statistical tie.

CBS claims that "[t]his poll release conforms to the Standards of Disclosure of the National Council on Public Polls." If so, those standards need to be higher, since the polling release should also include all detailed demographic breakdowns for age, sex, race, education, geographic location, income, ideological leanings, etc. This would allow us to look for even greater bias beyond the obvious R. vs. D. party affiliation divide.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that Trump will have to get at least five points above Hillary to overcome the dirty votes that will be “cast” by the Dems. So if the polls have a bias, this prepares us for what we will need to do.

The other bias: Registered voters instead of likely voters. Republicans generally get a 3% boost (and Democrats get a 3% hit) when the polls use likely voters.

The media lies.
We know they lie.
They know that we know that they lie.
They don’t care.

The gamechanger this time — Trump is going to war against the media, and We The People are going to eat it up!!

Yep, every time I can drill down to who and how many, these pollster are getting it wrong, but I’ve been expecting their BS polling of Trump for the general election since last year.

I have spent many if my nights undercover on liberal websites to educate them about who the true Hillary is. They didn't have a friggin clue. Didn't know who Huma Abedin was, didn't know about all the pardons her husband gave to criminals so they wouldn't testify against her / them, didn't know who Vincent Foster was or who Larry Nichols was, hardly knew what Benghazi was about and damn sure didn't know she has 4 mansions with wait staff...

Her only voting base are libtards who haven't woken up to the truth yet, diehard socialists, LGBTs, and career Dem politicians

This is the second major poll in 2 days that has been shown to be worthless or better yet, simply fraud. The Bloomberg poll was even worse. It was all planned for after Clinton clinched and made a few big speeches that the MSM drooled over.

This is war.

Remember doing this same “correcting bias” thing back in 2012?

Exactly.

And don’t forget the “Rove is playing three-dimensional chess” routines.

The lockstep coordination between the media, the rat party and the hollyweirders almost makes one suspect that they are working together....

Just saw the first Jezebel campaign ads today - the eternal granny of our children, no less! Made me gag. Trump will have to holler louder to get his message out past the haters. Too bad he his own side is shooting at him too.

These are narrative propaganda polls. The only relevant polls are swing state polls . Trump is kicking ass in swing states. Dont give me a “poll” of 700 selected anti trump people for all 50 states. Totally worthless propaganda. I watched msnbc sell this crap on “morning jerk”. It was so bad in its hatred for this great man that I removed them from my DVR. Mika was dissembling again ( what a dumb broad butt) .
