New ABC / WaPo Poll Shows Drop In Trump Favorability Courtesy Of Aggressive "Oversamples"


In the month leaded up to the election on November 8th, we repeatedly demonstrated how the mainstream media polls from the likes of ABC/Washington Post, CNN and Reuters repeatedly manipulated their poll samples to engineer their desired results, namely a large Hillary Clinton lead (see "New Podesta Email Exposes Playbook For Rigging Polls Through 'Oversamples" and "ABC/Wapo Effectively Admit To Poll Tampering As Hillary's "Lead" Shrinks To 2-Points"). In fact, just 16 days prior to the election an ABC/Wapo poll showed a 12-point lead for Hillary, a result that obviously turned out to be embarrassingly wrong for the pollsters.

But, proving they still got it, ABC/Washington Post and CNN are out with a pair of polls on Trump's favorability this morning that sport some of the most egregious "oversamples" we've seen. The ABC/Wapo poll showed an 8-point sampling margin for Democrats with only 23% of the results taken from Republicans...

...while the CNN poll showed a similar 8-point advantage for Democrats with only 24% of respondents identifying as Republicans.

"A total of 1,000 adults were interviewed by telephone nationwide by live interviewers calling both landline and cell phones. Among the entire sample, 32% described themselves as Democrats, 24% described themselves as Republicans, and 44% described themselves as independents or members of another party.

Of course, as we've repeatedly pointed out, these sampling mixes couldn't be further from reality.

Fake Polls? How CNN And ABC Are Fudging The Numbers To Tank Trump’s Favorability

Two polls released Tuesday — one from ABC and a second from CNN — tout Donald Trump as being the most unfavorable incoming president in modern history — yet on second look, the data is clearly boosted by the pollers’ decision to oversample Democrats.

According to Gallup, 28 percent of Americans identify themselves as a Republican, while 25 percent identify as a Democrat.

Despite this information, eight more percent of participants in both the ABC and CNN polls identified as Democrats, leading to an 11 point swing in partisanship breakdown off the national average.

ABC’s poll sampled 1,005 adults across the nation. However, partisan breakdown shows that only 23 percent of participants identified as Republican.

Conversely, 31 percent of participants identified as Democrats and 37 percent as independent, while nine percent did not answer.

Do any of these polls mean Donald Trump will not be Inaugurated?
No.

They are just the usual media taking a dump on Trump.

This is the beginning of a long 4 years to hammer this narrative over and over, that Trump is a failure; look, we have polls to prove it.

The latest narrative is that Trump doesn't have a mandate and has to do what Democrats say because #1, Hillary REALLY won the election, and #2, everyone hates Trump. That's why they keep coming out with these silly polls.

I don't think that's going to work out too well for them.

50 years from now, when history books and school texbooks are being written, the documents that will be quoted will be those being produced today. This is all a conspiracy to make Obama's legacy relevant (even though he wasn't in the end) and that return to conservative values lead to ruination of the United States. It's all about Obama now since they cannot proudly point to a first female president yet.

I believe there is a lot of fact in your post.
Obama has been up nights signing stupid regulations . Historians will say what a remarkable Conservationist he was and that Trump tore into those regulations and destroyed the earth. Obama isn't signing all of that crap for nothing.
