Shades of 90+% chance for President Hillary on Election Day morning of 2016! This was published in Britain at 7:am their time and reflects a very real effort to 'read the tea leaves' as people were starting to vote.

I post this to show how, in spite of a massive and continuing errors in polling/survey 'news' stories, the ONLY ONE THAT COUNTS is the real one! For the next 11 months we are going to be DELUGED with 'unbiased' (just ask them) surveys and the like. Don't get complacent BUT remember this one and its predecessors.

The fact that polling outfits constantly put out these “tied” polls before an election is what makes them so obvious that they arent credible.

Bo electorate is 50/50 as much as media polls pretend.

Polls are no longer designed to measure public sentiment but to influence it.

The exit polls were accurate and the final result was minus three seats off the projected result.

Very impressive work by the three networks that released them and they stayed on top of it til the Tories won their majority.

Fake News is alive and well in the UK. Boris wins in a landslide.

Polls have always been used to shape public opinion.

If the election doesn’t go their way, they can blame it on Russia meddling.

The exit poll interviews show Boris wins by a landslide. Is this article more leftist propaganda so they can start the hate movement like the left ion the USA?

Polls are always biased by 2 factors: eho pays for them and who responds to them. Why does any normal person need one? To let a pollster sway your vote?

This is totally fake news. In other papers there is mention of Trump congratulation Johnson on his LANDSLIDE win. Or maybe that is fake. Who the hell knows anymore?

Hillary did that yesterday. Said she thought Boris might be a Russian asset. Is his wife’s name Natasha and where is that pesky squirrel and his moose friend?
