New Podesta Email Exposes Dem Playbook For Rigging Polls Through "Oversamples"
Zero Hedge ^ | Oct 23, 2016 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 10/23/2016 4:57:05 PM PDT by cutty

the obvious sampling bias in the latest ABC / Washington Post poll that showed a 12-point national advantage for Hillary. Like many of the recent polls from Reuters, ABC and The Washington Post, this latest poll included a 9-point sampling bias toward registered democrats.

...

for all of you out there who still aren't convinced that the polls are rigged, we present to you the following Podesta email, leaked earlier today, that conveniently spells out, in startling detail, exactly how to rig them. The email starts out with a request for recommendations on "oversamples for polling" in order to "maximize what we get out of our media polling."

I also want to get your Atlas folks to recommend oversamples for our polling before we start in February. By market, regions, etc. I want to get this all compiled into one set of recommendations so we can maximize what we get out of our media polling.

The email even includes a handy, 37-page guide with the following poll-rigging recommendations. In Arizona, over sampling of Hispanics and Native Americans is highly recommended:

...

- Over-sample Hispanics . Use Spanish language interviewing. (Monolingual Spanish-speaking voters are among the lowest turnout Democratic targets).

- Over-sample the Native American population

For Florida,

Doug Schoen is a Hillary supporter do you think he would say otherwise that she is ahead? Every time I see him on Fox he says she is going to win.

All you can really do at this point is vote and make sure others vote as well and you might think about turning the democrats on your television off.

They have to be deceptive and manipulative about just getting people together for a political purpose. It’s like a cult.

It’s not clear, after reading this, who/what “Atlas” is and what connection it/they might have to major polling operations. While some polls have been “oversampled”, others have not. It’s hard to believe that plotting operations look to this group to decide who to oversample, as it is self evident.

I’m scared!!! Watching The Fox News Insiders with Pat Caddell, Doug Schoen & John LeBoutillier have me worried!!! Pat was saying polling is all over the place but says Hillary is ahead, John LeBoutillier said TRUMP Campaign Manager just quit, you don’t quit if you’re winning blah blah blah & I think Doug Schoen was saying the Hillary camp is feeling very confident etc... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m worried now!!!!

You forgot the sarcasm tag.

Otherwise, GTF out.

Huh? Stop the hysterics. Trump is ahead in four polls as of today.

You dropped your privates, somewhere.

Here's the salient quote:

"And that's how you manufacture a 12-point lead for your chosen candidate and effectively chill the vote of your opposition."

Now that the polls are over-sampled, Soros can adjust his voting machines to match.

(And win conclusively—trumping Trump). :(

She only said that to keep from arguing with the liberals that dominate network news.

Makes sense and I hope you’re right.

Priebus did the right thing and came right out and said Hillary will lose.

Trump is right. The system is rigged for Democrats.

The polling is rigged.
The debates and interviews are rigged.
The vote is rigged.

And, if they are successful in stealing this election, there will not be a peaceful transfer of power.

If Trump ever spent money on Advertising than the general public would know a lot more than they do now.

A LOT of people in this country that refused to believe that the media was compromised are now having their noses rubbed in it. Media only has any credibility with those on the same side.

I could certainly be wrong, but the Dems don’t realize what is about to hit them in Nov. Or their internal polls are showing it which may be why Hillary has virtually stopped campaigning.
All these Russian and lewd sex talk stories out of the Dem camp are stories of desperation. Why would they release the audio tape of Trump’s trashy mouth a month before the election? Why not on Nov 4th? Their internals are scaring the daylites out of them. Last week, Killary, out of frustration, asked why she isn’t 50 points ahead at a rally. Dems are desperate.
The most partisan Dem union is SEIU, (2M members) yet their prez, can’t remember her name knows there is deep economic anxiety among her members & Trump is making an impact on her members. The trade union’s local prez have already told the national office that their members are in revolt and the vote isn’t going to Dems in the big #s of the past. AFL-CIO prez Dick Trumka knows more than half will defy the national office and will vote for Trump. There’s 12M AFL-CIO members and union members generally carry their entire family into voting as a block. You can guess what the United Coal Workers are doing this election cycle.
Then there are 54 million Christians who didn’t vote for Romney because he is LDS, they will walk on hot coals barefoot to vote this election.
Reagan was down 11%, one week out from the election, he won in a landslide. The current MSM polls are slanted to suppress the vote, convince Trump supporters to give up and not bother to vote. Again I could be wrong, but empirical evidence says otherwise.

You tell him Talisker! These pussies make me sick.
This is classic bandwagon effect. It only works on the credulous and timid.
