Brexit architect Nigel Farage:.... Mainstream media using polls to suppress Trump turnout....

Minstream media polls showing Joe Biden with a wide lead are 'failing' to accurately gauge support for Pres. Trump and are being used to suppress Trump voter turnout, according to Nigel Farage.

Farage said he was "struck" with American polls because of what he called "tiny" sample sizes generating margins of error often between 3% to 4%......."Come on, you know, oh, in Florida, Biden's 1/2% ahead," ... "It's ridiculous, because the margin of error is several times bigger than that."

"I also think that after the year we've been through ,the hysteria over B L M, he fear that if we even question this Marxist movement, that somehow we're going to be condemned for being racist and put on some list or treated in some way — I think the phenomenon of the 'shy Trumper,' who's just not going to tell the pollster what they think for fear that they're going to be knocked down in a book somewhere is even greater than it was four years ago,"

He agreed with the results seen by polling firm The Trafalgar Group, which specializes tracking "hidden" Trump voters. Conforming to what the firm calls a "social-desirability bias," these conservative and independent Trump voters feel marginalized and fearful about expressing their support for the president due to social stigma in news media and social media. Trafalgar Group founder Robert Cahaly told RealClearPolitics this bias in 2020 is "worse than it was four years ago."

Trump campaign pollster John McLaughlin told "Just the News AM" that 'Facebook blocking' new ads in the final week of the election cycle is also an attempt to discourage Republican voters waiting to vote closer to Election Day, that Facebook's decision to halt new campaign ads is part of its political censorship.

Mr. Farage called the President “the bravest man I have ever met”. He could say the same for you, Nigel.

We are not “shy”.

We are hostile!

F&^% the dirtbag pollsters.

I wouldn’t answer their questions if they took me prisoner and tortured me.

Nothing “shy” about that.

No one believes the media any longer. We are not going to be discouraged, but in fact, we are emboldened even more...they are motivating us, not discouraging us.

If the media thinks they can outsmart and prevent people from voting for Trump, they are so wrong.

If they think it will depress Trumpsters, they do not know us well.

We already realize they don’t understand us at all, but that’s to our benefit: as Sun Tsu put it, if you don’t know yourself and you don’t know your adversary you will lose 100% of the time, and they don’t know either.

The reason for polling errors? The MSM are kept and controlled propaganda organs, whose only job is to manipulate public opinion for the IC, deep-state and their cronies.

I am sure Pravda was reporting everything was great, up until the day the Soviet Union collapsed. Same thing here.

I have a high regard for Farage, but I think he’s missing what’s really going on with the clearly faked polls. The intention is to make all the planned vote fraud seemed plausible. You can be sure these polls will be cited in any investigation into fraudulent mail-in votes and ballot harvesting.

It seems the Democrats have realized they aren’t going to be able to manufacture enough votes to create a landslide victory for Biden, so now they are faking him barely eking out a victory.

If they are using polls to TRY and suppress the Trump voter, they don’t have a clue how excited the Trump voter is to cast their vote.

I know local realtors working the DC burbs; they are having a BANNER, record breaking year, making money hand over fist as up to 15-20k (and counting) people have moved out of DC this year.

I think that’s only part of it. By constantly proclaiming Biden leading in the polls, it will gin up the expectation of a win by the leftist mob, and if it doesn’t happen, they’ll continue their protests and riots, and if the Dems retain power in either house, they’ll paint themselves as martyrs still opposing the evil dictator. Of course, if Trump wins, but the Dems manage to retain the House and flip the Senate, we’re looking at Nancy Pelosi in the Oval Office within a matter of months.

Nothing will suppress turnout for Trump. A line 3 blocks long in Tulsa in the pouring rain today.
