(11,060 posts)Even legit pollsters will kick out a few massaged polls in favor of Trump to avoid intimidation and abuse from Trump cult members and their filthy-rich Nazi donors.
Also Trump and company probably pay the corporation or University a bit to do it, or their donors do.
In the end, the polling corporations and universities will shrug their shoulders and claim it was within the margin of error or an outlier. Their polls weren't done to help the Nazis, they were all scientific and above reproach. Polls are not crystal balls of the future. You can expect some amount of error.
Afterall the Quinnipiac poll comes from their public relations office and not the university. It's all about PR for them. Looking like you aren't screwing your filthy-rich Nazi donors and are fair, even at the cost of a little manipulation is priceless. It's what PR is all about.
