Victor Davis Hanson: The Polls Intentionally Lie To Favor Democrats and To Lower Trump's Popularity

Excerpt:
"For years, the media have used fake polls to manipulate public opinion and crush Trump’s momentum.
But Victor Davis Hanson just revealed that the polls are not only wrong—he showed they were rigged, by design.
Polling is now just a weapon, used to suppress Trump’s base and supercharge Democrat fundraising.
And once you hear the evidence, you’ll never trust another mainstream poll again.
Lately, the media’s been pushing a familiar narrative: Trump is tanking in the polls.
But Victor Davis Hanson says that story doesn’t hold up—and once you see what’s behind the numbers, it starts to look a lot more like propaganda than polling.
So where did it all come from?
“We’ve touched on polls before,” Hanson said, “but I don’t think I’ve seen anything quite as egregious in pollsters’ bias as recently when they… purportedly surveyed the first 100 days of Donald Trump and the public reaction.”
Headlines immediately screamed: Worst first 100 days in history.
Trump’s approval supposedly dropped from 52 to 41 percent.
But as Hanson pointed out, none of that lined up with reality."

"Hey, Trump is disfavored in a poll"
"Really, what poll?"
"CNN, MSNBC, AP, NYT... etc."
"Oh. Toss it. It's just BS."
We aren't getting fooled as easily anymore.
The wannabe commie vermin who art all of Fake News will lie about anything any which way they can.
Polls and any other of their fiction are all used as tools to lie and distort.
It's all radical left made up demented propaganda.
It struck me back in the 2016 campaigns, there were all the polls and they gave various results over time, but the outcome of each bore the same resemblance to the others over the campaign, so it had to be that each poll had a constant bias, some small, some large. Just about all were biased in the same direction and that level of bias was retained.
Not only that, there was a purpose as VDH explains-
" .. not to reflect public opinion—it was to steer it."
Technically not lying, but contrived / fraudulent.
So they can conduct as many polls as needed (modifying the content and the selection criteria) until they get the result requested by whoever funded the poll.
Do you know they have a WASHOUT period on the Statin Drugs? So the people who don't tolerate them are NOT included in the results, and their SIDE-EFFECTS do not have to be listed.
Then, if the study shows statins are harmful, they hide/bury the results.
In reality, they people they HIRE to do the testing MUST BE FREE to published the results, even if the drug company doesn't like them. That's the ONLY WAY the math works for effectiveness.
Also, they should have to use more than 18-22yr old males. OMG. The target audience must be included... BUT NOOooo... Because the target audiences are already on 3-5 drugs, etc. etc. etc.
At that time I was a bit purer, (more naive), than now, I was both appalled and amused.
Unbiased polling can be done, and is done, it takes knowledge and care.
There is no such thing as bad thinking from VDH.
puzzles me?
Psychiatrist: "What is your greatest fear?"
Dem/donkey: "That Trump's policies will make America great again."
Full disclosure: I know Gary, and I was part of the production crew for the movie his son made, Disciples In The Moonlight.
