Fraud': Mainstream polls use 29% more Democrats than Republicans

Washington Examiner ^ | 09/22/2017 | Paul Bedard Posted on 9/23/2017, 4:30:52 PM by ForYourChildren

Most of the top political polls that got the 2016 presidential race dead wrong are continuing to use a flawed methodology in rating President Trump's approval ratings that favors Democrats, women and younger voters, according to a new analysis.

The report shows that the mainstream polls oversample an average of 29 percent more Democrats than Republicans and the results skew anti-Trump. The result is that it robs Trump of about 8 points in his approval ratings, from 46 percent to 38 percent, it said.

I didn’t dig into all the stats here. But this is telling.

What this means is, that the media can manufacture any results they want, simply by tweaking the number of Democrats vs number of Republicans — by changing the mix of respondents, they can come up with any result they want.
