The Trafalgar Group Polling

[JD Barleycorn]

With all this crazy (and it is crazy) about elections being stolen by the right or hacked by the Russians the left keeps going back to the polls. Just like in 2000 the polling doesn't agree with the results in most cases. So did the Russians hack the election for Bush in 2000? Nobody has ever said that they did. So were all the polls wrong this time? Nope, there is one polling group that stood out above the rest; Trafalgar Polling. They not only called the general election but called each state election. They called Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin for Trump before the day of the election and they were right on the numbers. How did they do this? They issued a statement last week that they found that many people were lying to pollsters about who they intended to vote for. Fear, embarassment, or they just wanted to fuck with the system, people lied. So TG came up with "the question". Who is your neighbor voting for? No, I'm not voting for the guy that they say is a racist, sexist, homophobe....but my neighbor is. It worked. There was no hack, no GOP voter fraud but there was a result supported by the math.

Yeah, more fake news given credibility by fake news outlet the Washington Post. I hope Bezos gets his pants sued off.

I don't remember the exact origins of the "Who is/what would your neighbor..." but marketing research has been using the technique to determine what people would really like instead of some idealized choice.

there are no doubt several examples of polling "indifference", including people telling pollsters they are Democrat and voting Clinton and then simply didn't vote. they certainly weren't going to vote Trump. they might have believed their own kool-aide that Clinton really did have a "cooked" 10 point lead. so they figured they didn't need to vote for her.

bahahahaaaa... that's the mistake the libtards always make .. they have this so-called voter majority yet they never turn out in the numbers needed to enforce it. then cry fowl when they lose. losers.

lol Bezos the tech mogul turned media baron might get his butt chapped on his investment. even if he loses millions it's not likely to hurt him. Another player about to lose a bushel of dough is Carlos Slim Helu, who happens to be one of the largest shareholders in the embattled NY Times, whose recent mea culpa was .. priceless!! bahahaaa
