The Media's Latest Poll Dance
American Thinker ^ | September 14, 2018 | Brian C. Joondeph

Posted on 09/14/2018 4:15:07 PM PDT by detective

With the midterms less than two months away and the economy firing on all cylinders, the Democrats, and their handlers, also known as the American media, are entering the panic zone. The midterms are the last chance for the left to stop the Trump train.

Robert Mueller's investigation is shooting blanks. Mueller's Deep State cronies in the FBI and DOJ may be facing legal troubles of their own. Trump's popularity remains solid despite Hurricane Florence-strength media attacks against him each and every day.

CNN and MSNBC are currently at Category 4 hurricane strength against President Trump. Expect to see this ratchet up to Category 5 in the upcoming weeks before the midterms. Ninety percent of Trump's media coverage is negative. This will increase to approach 100 percent if Mueller can't find or fabricate the smoking gun that will send The Donald slinking back to Trump Tower.

Since Stormy Daniels's pole dances haven't damaged President Trump, big media are using their own "poll dance," specifically opinion polls, to create the narrative that no one likes the president. They hope to dispirit Trump voters, damping the enthusiasm of November 2016, to pick off enough House seats to shift House control to Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters.

At the least, these polls can further the media fable that everyone is embarrassed by Trump and won't support him, causing some of his supporters to abandon the president so their friends and families stop calling them racist, sexist Nazis.

Treat these polls for what they are – partisan campaign commercials – and don't despair. These same pollsters predicted a Hillary Clinton landslide victory in 2016. But do remember to vote this coming November. The stakes could not be higher.

Yep, remember some of those Hillary polls? I recall a few landslide predictions. I recall some predictions of Hillary winning 40 states and over 400 electoral votes.

It’s funny to go back and watch the election night 2016 pundits as they were shocked and improvising commentary in real time, as they couldn’t believe state after state going for Trump .

I would go well beyond that. We each need an Election day/week plan. Get certified as a poll watcher if it's not too late, and be there to damp down the leftist vote fraud. Volunteer for republican get-out-the-vote efforts, whether as a caller or as a driver. As little enthusiasm as I have for the party itself (and I won't send them money), getting voters to the polls is one thing they do adequately.

Make a list of friends, ask them early about their political leanings and voting intentions. If a friend is a patriot, get him/her to the polls. If not he/she/it/zir and its voting is not your responsibility. We need turnout, at least from decent people. We know that illegals, fictional people, and dead voters will turn out for the other side, and we have to put each election outside the margin of fraud.

Uh, I think her name is Stephanie Clifford. Since she tried to take down this President, and, by extension, our chance to save this country, I see no reason to let her hide behind her porn screen name.

I do not like President Trump.......I love the guy, or at least love all that he has been doing to help to save this infested country. I am not certain that he can actually save our once great country, but he is the only one in our time that has a chance at being successful.

The maggot infested DC and national corrupt Media, Elite, RINOs, scum sucking democrats and Never Trumpers MUST be beat at any cost and ultimately by any means.

God has blessed us with Trump and a handful of helpers....the least we should do is vote accordingly.

We’re either going to find out that either Trump was a polling anomaly or modern day polling is useless, corrupted or both. I’m honestly worried that it’s the former, but I hope it’s the latter.

Poll after poll (yeah, polls) indicate that, most Americans don’t trust or believe the media. So, do the left-wing media whores for the democratic party expect that the people will believe or trust any of their polls? It’s illogical, but, the left-wing media are not proponents of logic or truth.
