HAHAHAHAHA: FAUX NEWS: "PEOPLE ARE LYING TO THE POLLSTERS

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

So it's come to this. All day on Faux, Mike Huckabee and the rest, are saying.

People are scared that Hillary's supporters will vandalize their house if they say
they're going to vote for Trump, so they're lying to they pollsters and saying
that they will vote for Clinton.

The people with Lawn signs for Hillary are actually going to vote for Trump, they
just dont want their neighbors to know because of the violent Clinton supporters.

People have been saying they will vote for Hillary, but they're actually going to vote for
Trump.

Trump supporters have been quiet and not partaking in online polls or bothering about them.

I never thought that even Faux news could be so stupid.

Desperate times I guess.

they see the same projections we do. they know trump is done for, but they are terrified if his supporters know that too they will just stay home, and the GOP will lose the house and senate.

they will say anything to convince people to go vote to try and save congress.

This is the typical right wing propaganda. They steal everything good about the Democrats and try to characterize the Republicans with those traits. They take everything bad about the Republicans and say those are traits of the Democrats. It is so obvious and I bothers me that so many people are so brain washed they can't see it.

Trump supporters are actually the loudest and most obnoxious. Hence the reason why his rallies are packed. They proudly display their trump signs.

And people who put Clinton signs are the ones that are in danger of having their property vandalized. Happened in my neighborhood today.

Remember them? That nutter even convinced Karl Rove that Mitt was gonna win by a landslide because all the polls were skewed to favor Dems so it would look like Obama could win. Republicans are still lazy, they just keep dusting off the same threadbare excuses for losing and recycling the same failed policies without ever doing the necessary dirty work to clean the trash out of their own house.

The UnSkewedPolls guy said the same thing back then as Republicans are whining about today, that liberals are magically suppressing the votes from Trump supporters and somehow committing "massive voter fraud" enabled by a compliant media to rig the election.

This version of UnSkewedPolls will work out just like the last time... Welcome Madame President!

Oops, procon--I posted about unskewed polls before reading comments, so I didn't realize you already had done so.

If Faux ever told the truth about Trump's chances, the audience would turn them right off, and they know it. They did the same thing last time around and said that Romney was going to win, and they did it for the same reason.

I don't know if it's still a real thing, but it has been in the past with Bradley and Wilder (early 1990s era)

Both of Obama's elections put this tale to rest. He actually won by larger margins than his polls indicated, but *most* polls were relatively accurate.

just to keep peace in the family. The only poll that counts is on November 8 and it won't be a happy day for Faux.
