Fake Polls Threaten U.S. Democracy

By L. Todd Wood; The Washington Times:

Even the mainstream media had to admit after the 2016 presidential election that the corporate media polls were just simply wrong.  Most likely they were wrong because of a progressive, anti-Donald Trump agenda that attempted to discourage Republican voters and lower turnout against Hillary Clinton.  The threat continues, as approval rating polls and others attempt to low-ball support for the president and prevent him from implementing his agenda.  

However, those Americans who read and attempt to find out what is really going on know that there were some polling entities that were feeding information to the White House during the election that allowed the Trump campaign to ride into victory on November 8th of last year.  These were called the “Deplorable Pollsters,” and they showed Mr. Trump winning, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, etc.  

But let me ask you a question.  Do you know who was the most accurate pollster during last year’s election?

I’ll take a guess and say you don’t. Well, I’ll answer the question for you—People’s Pundit Daily (PPD).  Unlike other oft-cited surveys, PPD Battleground State Polls pegged President Trump’s victories on the statewide level in all but two states they identified as battlegrounds including Florida, North Carolina, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.   Their final PPD Sunshine State Battleground poll released on Nov. 6, found him leading Hillary Clinton by 1.6%, rounded up to two points.  He won by 1.2%.  

Their final Michigan poll showed Trump +1%.  He barely won, but he won.  PPD’s final PPD Keystone State Battleground Poll released on Nov. 6, found Donald Trump taking 48.4% of the vote to Hillary’s 47.8%, a statistical tie that nearly nailed the vote exactly.
