I'm still getting Political Junk mail from mistakenly partaking in the Breitbart and Drudge on line poll in 2015. It's why I refuse to every take one again.
How can you rig a marketing ploy? 80% of polls are commissioned by a Candidate. It's not like they tried to rig a Polling firm.

All their polls are made up marketing horseshit.

Rule number one, keep the magic behind the curtain. They are so desperate to stop Trump from wining. They are willing to sacrifice the sanctity of the on line poll and public perception that they actually represent any meaningful data.

Good luck selling your Socialist Retard Liberal candidates after this truth bomb.

It will come out, all on line polls are advertisements. In fact one story floating around says Cruz and Bush also paid for Polls.

We all know damn well every Primary Candidate Polls were paid advertisements. What every primary Tuesday the other candidate other than Trump was supposed to win by a LANDSLIDE of course they only got like 3% of the vote while Trump took the plurality of the majority of the vote.

They have now gone from eating each other to eating themselves to stop Trump.

LOLZ!

Trump was the anti Poll candidate remember? He won in spite of the Polls, not because of them!

You can't make this stupid up. Besides above all, consider the Micheal "I Lie my Ass off" Cohen as the source.

From the "article," Cohen was trying to rig a poll on Drudge. Like any website, the people who read Drudge are already going to be massively skewed. If the poll accompanies an article, that article will skew things even more (by filtering out people who aren't interested in the article headline and by biasing people who read the article). If he were trying to use a simple script to vote multiple times, then there were probably dozens of other script-kitties that did the same thing and his own meddling was not all that was going on. If voting required something like a Facebook account, there are two problems: that requirement will skew the results as many of us refuse to deal with Facebook AND there are huge numbers of fraudulent Facebook accounts that can be rented for just such purposes.

There is ONE thing that is good about a poll like that, though: at least you can see the plain text of the question and the tally of the question is clearly reported. In contrast, whenever I hear of a mainstream media (fake news media) poll conclusion and then finally get to the bottom it all, I'm aghast that the polling question(s) and tallies could possibly lead to the conclusion of the report. I often think that the wording of the questions would have me answering in a way that results in their conclusion, but my actual thoughts are opposite of their conclusion. It almost seems like the questions are purposely ambiguous so that the "conclusion" turns out to be just what the sponsors had intended!

The disclaimer on the bottom of every online Poll should be your first clue that they are merely adverts.

They all have language like... "Not Scientific" "Not responsible for accuracy of the poll reflecting election outcomes."

I had no idea that there was ever a public perception that online polls meant anything at all.

TPB. Are you one of those people that when Lou Dobs said dial such and such a number if you think Obama is a Muslim and a Commie, you actually did it ? And thought it indicated anything other than how gullible you are ?
