John Podesta’s own email exposes how democrats over sample polls, aka rigged, to suppress voter turnout. Remember the polls for the most part are run by the left and since when does a sample of a few thousand speak for the nation? There is one poll that samples what direction America is leaning towards and we are 15 days away from it.

There are more Americans voting who prefer to vote for candidates promising free-stuff than those standing for small government, the rule of law, fiscal and personal responsibility and the Constitution.

Meanwhile, we also pointed out that with huge variances in preference across demographics one can easily “rig” a poll by over indexing to one group vs. another. As a quick example, the ABC / WaPo poll found that Hillary enjoys a 79-point advantage over Trump with black voters. Therefore, even a small “oversample” of black voters of 5% could swing the overall poll by 3 full points. Moreover, the pollsters don’t provide data on the demographic mix of their polls which makes it impossible to “fact check” the bias…convenient… read more
