Trump cites phony polls to claim how well he’s doing

Posted by | September 28, 2016 19:04 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics


These are either discredited online polls or ones that don’t exist.

“So I understand that we have a Reuters poll where we’re 10 points up!” he bellowed.

But it’s unclear where Trump got that number. An Ipsos/Reuters national tracking pollreleased Wednesday morning actually found Hillary Clinton ahead by six points in a head-to-head race against Trump, and by four points if third-party candidates Gary Johnson and Jill Stein are included.

Trump went on to cite a series of flash online polls whose responses showed him “winning” the first presidential debate against Hillary Clinton. Earlier Wednesday, Business Insider reported on a leaked memo from a Fox News executive to the network’s politics team, reminding them that such online polls “can’t be representative of the electorate because they only reflect the views of those Internet users who have chosen to participate.”

    Seems the coke he was snorting had hallucinogenic effects.

      It was mixed with Comet cleanser. That’ll really f*ck up your brain, and he was more than halfway there to start with.

    His world is distorted from his grossly over inflated ego

  3. Larry Schmitt September 28th, 2016 at 19:28

    If we made up a fake website with fake polls showing he won the debate, and was projected to win the election, he and Fox and Breitbart would grab onto that for dear life, because that’s what they want to hear, more than anything in the whole world.

    • arc99 September 28th, 2016 at 19:58

      hey Larry, why don’t we put up the website, cook up some fake numbers, post it under new Disqus id’s so they cannot see our leftist posting history, and charge them a buck through PayPal to access the site. I will split the proceeds 50-50….

    “So I understand that we have a Reuters poll where we’re 10 points up!”-Nope, he’s cracked: Reuters September 26, 2016

    Hillary Clinton (Democrat) 39.5%
    Donald Trump (Republican) 33.1%
    Would not vote 10.4%
    Other 9.2%
    Refused 7.8% 1,704 respondents. http://polling.reuters.com/#poll/TM651Y15_DS_13/

    Trump repeatedly cited the CBS poll saying he won the debate. Only one problem: CBS didn’t do a post-debate poll.

      There you go with your nuisance facts again.

    • bpollen September 29th, 2016 at 00:58

      CBS was wrong. As Trump says, his only failing is that he is TOO honest.

  6. labman57 September 28th, 2016 at 20:47

    Just because members of the Donald Trump fan club agree that he won the debate does not mean much in the real world.

    The manner in which the data is collected determines its scientific validity. But then, Donnie don’t really believe in science.

    • bpollen September 29th, 2016 at 01:02

      You mean an online poll with no restrictions on who votes or how many times flooded by little alt-right-Trumpians isn’t an accurate depiction of the electorate? What’s next? Facts matter?

  7. No way out September 28th, 2016 at 21:11

    He depends on the illiterate.

    • Larry Schmitt September 28th, 2016 at 21:13

      He said himself, he loves the poorly educated.

  8. Foundryman September 29th, 2016 at 00:19

    It’s great that Trump believes these phony polls. Let him keep thinking he’s leading…He won’t have a reason to prepare for the next either, Hillary will knock him out completely next time. If he thinks he’s ahead, he’ll just keep on making stupid comments and not listen to Conway or anyone. Yes Trumpkins, you’re ahead..way way ahead…

    • whatthe46 September 29th, 2016 at 00:33

      i was seriously thinking the same. as long as he feels this way, what’s the point (in his empty head) deviating from what he thinks is working? that and, his supporters are so damn stupid, they’ll actually think they can sit voting out. “we got this, man, i’m just gonna relax in mommy’s basement man.”

  9. Gary Parillo September 29th, 2016 at 00:31

    Phony polls cited by a phony.Not surprising.Maybe its a sign of desperation.He knows he didnt do well and is losing,so makes up his own polls to feed his ego.Some are sayin,yuuugly delusional.

    • whatthe46 September 29th, 2016 at 00:59

      try this on for size. awesome!!!!! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d459f964fecb531bd7a52cdf5418f29cdd47a0ae291218827b06aae1a1956b68.jpg

        Threat to sue coming in for a landing on Runway One!

        • whatthe46 September 29th, 2016 at 01:39

          lol. you know it. and based on facts, so, sue for what? telling the truth?

      • Gary Parillo September 29th, 2016 at 02:03

        That is clever.Those things are not cheap to rent either.

        • whatthe46 September 29th, 2016 at 02:05

          i think they start at 1k a month. depending on where you want to advertise. i.e., rush hour traffic, where people are moving about every 45 secs, who have no choice but to notice your sign, will pay way more.

          • Gary Parillo September 29th, 2016 at 02:14

            1,000 a month isn’t to expensive for someone making decent money.May vary from state to state.

            • whatthe46 September 29th, 2016 at 02:18

              you’re right about that.

        • whatthe46 September 29th, 2016 at 02:06

          just a thought, i wonder if it’s the DNC that’s paying for this, or even Hillary’s camp. smart move to whoever did it.

          • Gary Parillo September 29th, 2016 at 02:11

            I thought about dnc also.I also thought a business office where all are anti-trump chipping in,like people do for lotteries.

            • whatthe46 September 29th, 2016 at 02:17

              i sure would have chipped in as well. it wouldn’t be costly since it would only be up for 6 weeks or so.

              • Gary Parillo September 29th, 2016 at 02:23

                Maybe a lot of people are thinking the same thing and it becomes a trend.Definetly more people see those than writing bad things about him on bathroom stall walls.

    The Republicans are Always pulling imaginary numbers and so called Facts out of thin Air. NOTHING They say is based in reality. Everything is a LIE ! AND, Trump is a TRUE REPUBLICAN.

  12. Budda September 29th, 2016 at 08:28

    Got an e-mail from a dump supporter with similar wild claims. They appear to be delusional about the reality of this race. Otherwise some are actually intelligent….freaking weird.

    • DogsRgoodpeople September 29th, 2016 at 09:45

      I know what you mean. One old friend just keeps spewing the “we need change” line. Otherwise intelligent ,he just has zero political savvy.

  13. Willys41 September 29th, 2016 at 11:32

    Trump knows he’s doing great because his daughter told him so. And isn’t she a hot piece of stuff. I mean, if she wasn’t his daughter . . . you can just imagine.

    • The Original Just Me September 29th, 2016 at 14:26

      Don’t need to imagine. Just watch Trump Salivate every time He is around Her. He can’t keep his hands off from her even in front of the Cameras. Daughter ???? That doesn’t matter to this Piece Of Crap.

  14. Ned Nutley September 29th, 2016 at 13:38

    He made a National fool out of himself with that
    debate, it was a flop and they know it because
    The Hill was saying “it won’t hurt his standings
    in the polls” -they said that not because they
    wanted to but because they HAD to!

  15. The Original Just Me September 29th, 2016 at 14:23
