Those who had doubts that Vladimir Putin is rooting for Donald Trump should read this new article from an online outlet controlled by the Russia Government (Sputnik News):
"Media Blackout: Trump Surges Past Clinton in Major Poll, Press Cites Older Polls".
The headline does not explain how a poll that never existed until 2 months ago is a "major" poll. Nor does it address the fact that the poll is an outlier.

More importantly, why in the world is Russia so butthurt due to the coverage (or alleged lack thereof) of this poll?

Media-scandal! CNN's fact-checking of Trump's claim that Obama founded ISIS was incorrect!
(CNN said it was Al-Baghdadi. It really was Al-Zarqawi. But we better use a headline that makes the reader think that Obama did found ISIS.)
Trump-ally General Flynn never said that Obama made the conscious decision to support ISIS. If you read the original interview, you will see that he said that Obama willfully took the risk that the guys he was supporting against Assad would turn out to be islamic extremists.
And do you want to know how RT reported on the DNC-hacking?
RT reported that it couldn't have been russian hackers because Donald Trump said it wasn't russian hackers.
