Shock Poll: Reuters/Ipsos Radically Changes Methodology to Favor Clinton
Breitbart ^ | July 29, 2016 | by NEIL W. MCCABE

Posted on 07/29/2016 3:27:00 PM PDT by Hojczyk

483 The Reuters/Ipsos polling team announced Friday that they are dropping the “Neither” option from their presidential preference polls after their tracking polls showed a 17-point swing in favor of the Republican nominee Donald J. Trump, exposing the “Secret Trump Voters” Democrats fear.

“In a presidential campaign notable for its negativity, the option of ‘Neither’ candidate appears to be an appealing alternative, at least to participants in the Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll,” wrote Maurice Tamman, the leader of the Reuters news service’s New York City-based data mining and investigative reporting team. “Many voters on both sides have been ambivalent in their support for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump, complicating the task of the pollsters trying to track the race.”

The real problem this year’s polling presents to Democrats is the reluctance, especially among more educated voters, to confess their support of Trump. Other pollsters have noted the divergence between polls conducted with live operators and robo-phone calls. Live operators have long been considered the preferred, most accurate method inside the polling community. However, live operator polls uniformly show lower support for Trump than online or automatic-dial phone polls.

Just a lot of complaining.

That is why I prefer a much more peaceful movement, a peaceful revolution in having Mr. Trump elected. But if there is ANY massive voter fraud, than there will be a revolt of massive proportions, which could very well mean a violent one.

No, I suggest FR depresses me at times with CONSTANT TALK of voter fraud and NO WAY we can win.

Do you pick and choose the posts i post.

Do you read the ones where I say we should be donig everyting to fight voter fraud.

Or do you pick and choose.

Here’s any eas one, if you see my name at the bottom of the post, dont read it.

BTW how many people who bitch about fraud are you sending the same message to.

Let’s avoid each other in the future.

When the purge comes, and it must I think, the MSM buildings should be the first to go.

I'm more interested in the occupants. The buildings can be fumigated.

I fully understand that sentiment. They, and they alone elected Obama. The Deaths and Misery he has caused and will cause in the future, are on their head.

Just his malfeasance on Iran should make his name hated for the rest of History. The Liberal Democrats who run the media should be held to account for what they have done.

"The GOP mainstream is strongly for Trump, as are quite a few democrats.

Why does everyone assume that the world is divided between Republicans and Democrats, when 42% self-identify as Independents??? A fraction of the electorate larger than either Democrat (39%) or Republican(23%).

This election will be decided by the independent vote, and according to all I can find, independents are breaking STRONGLY for Trump.

Probably worked with Romney or McCain. It will not work with Trump.

> need to hammer these media outlets with RICO prosecutions.

I could not agree more. They are not neutral. They monopolize the flow of information. They collude to sell lies to the highest bidder. They must be broken apart like AT&T was. Valid competition in media can improve journalism.

I have been thinking lately that they need to be regulated. There needs to be an oversight board with members elected directly by the people.

The "Fourth Estate" does indeed have the power to create or move governments, and therefore it needs to be held accountable for it's abuses of power.

The fact that virtually every media employee is a Liberal Democrat demonstrates the system is inherently biased on the very face of it.

Whatever we do, we need to do something. If we don't take their media weapon out of commission, we are going to continue getting shot and killed by it.

I would say we are fast reaching the stage where those coming back "repeatedly" to vote should discover getting their broken legs to work well enough to get them to the polling place again is really hard...
