Pew and NBC said that Hillary would win the election. Why even publish these fake polls?

More fake news from Pew and NBC.

How correct were they on their predictions that Trump would not be elected as our president.

When the polls are one-sided questions that ask if people want benefits while not mentioning the costs, the results are garbage. GIGO.

Dear Pew:

If anyone wants to make a point using your polling, I will laugh at them.

As Bob Hope would say, “thanks for the memories.”

And was lauded for predicting President Hillary Clinton’s electoral thrashing of Rep. Candidate Donald Trump. No bias there

Pew >>> Phew >>> P U

1) It’s a shortened term for puteo, which is Latin for “to stink, be redolent, or smell bad.” I actually called a professor of Latin at the University of Florida to verify this one.

2) It’s actually spelled “piu,” but is often pronounced as “pee-yew”. It’s root is the Indo-European word “pu,” meaning to rot or decay. A lot of other languages use this root word and have the same general meaning.

Can you imagine the difference the results of most polls would be if one is taken in Kansas and the same one taken in New Jersey????

Yes of course we want bigger government, that’s why the party of bigger government keeps winning - oh wait never mind; but thank you oh so much honest media.

“Government service” is an oxymoron.

This is a Pew poll and it is the first time they have managed to get more wanted a bigger government than a smaller government.

So we can rest assured we’ve not actually quite crossed that appalling tipping point yet.

But two thirds of Americans want more federal money spent on education? How about educating them on the Constitution!

The National Debt is now $20 trillion.
And most people have yet so see any of the downsides
to that in their personal situations.

Not to worry, according to the article they polled 630 repubs vs 771 dems. As usual, they poll to get the results they want.

Did they poll any givers or only the takers?

They also prefer not paying taxes. This is why tax reform has to be more than tax cuts and taking people off the tax rolls. In retrospect, the worst mistake Reagan made with his tax reform was taking the poor off of the tax rolls. They now have zero incentive to cut government. If people had the pain of paying for all this expanded government, they’d sing a different tune. But if they get it for free, why not?

Gimme gimme gimme and let the “rich” pay for it.
