Polling Company Admits to Faking Poll

Timothy Birdnow

Fake polling was and remains a huge problem in America (and the rest of he Western World) as it influences results of elections by the "bandwagon effect", getting people to believe that everyone else is doing it and so they get on board.

For decades we've seen bogus polling trying to influence the elections and doubtlessly succeeding in no small measure. But we never had the proof.

Now we do.

This pollster broke Omerta and admitted they were conducting a "social experiment" with dishonest polls which no doubt impacted these real elections.

From Hot Air:

As if we didn’t already have enough reason to mistrust polls. I wonder how many other pollsters coming up with suspiciously favorable numbers for socialist and progressive candidates are actually "social experiments” as well. Wanna bet that Texas is part of an "experiment,” too?

At least Median Strategies fessed up yesterday. Not that they had much choice, but also, even their confession looks like another form of manipulation.

That is the unforgivable sin; to admit they do this.

It's funny; polls always show Democrats way up and Republicans way down then when a Republican wins some of the Democrats accuse us of cheating when in fact it was they who were cheating all along and the polls played into their hands. Take both Trump elections as a prime example.

Usually the polls tighten up just before the election as they can no longer afford to be too far off. But the months leading up to the election are usually full of bogus polling in an effort to move the public towards the Democrat. They are not there to reflect the opinion of the public but to shape it.

That's why they were doing these little "experiments" in mind control here.

I once wrote something I submitted for publication that got a solid rejection - it was about the polls and how we need to stop listening to them. Read my article here.

At any rate polling has become a tool of manipulation and not simple news. There is a reason there are so many polling companies; they are paid by SOMEONE and for a purpose.

That is why political campaigns don't rely on the polls the public sees; they know them to be crap. They have their own internal polling which asks the tough questions and reflects the mood of the country honestly so the candidates may tailor their messages. But the public doesn't see those. The ones we do see are the ones with an agenda to push; they are paid by people who want to promote the agenda they are pushing.

So don't take the polls too seriously; they are trying to induce despair in our side and confidence on the Left.
