Surprise Fail – Reuters Announces Poll Changes To Help Lift Hillary Clinton…

sleepygifDon’t say we didn’t previously predict this EXACT SCENARIO was coming as soon as the Clinton Convention was over.

:::YAWN:::

After Reuters polling showed a 17 point (two week) swing to benefit Donald Trump something urgently needed to be changed.

(Via Reuters) […] In a presidential campaign notable for its negativity, the option of “Neither” candidate appears to be an appealing alternative, at least to participants in the Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll.

Many voters on both sides have been ambivalent in their support for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump, complicating the task of the pollsters trying to track the race.

That sentiment may help explain an apparent skew that recently emerged in the Reuters/Ipsos poll results. Given the choice, a relatively large group of voters opted for “Neither/Other” candidate compared with other major polls, leading to an under reporting of several percentage points for one or other of the two major contenders at times in the race.


As a result, Reuters/Ipsos is amending the wording of the choice and eliminating the word “Neither,” bringing the option in line with other polls.

The amended Reuters/Ipsos tracking poll will be published later Friday, available at polling.reuters.com.

From the beginning of June until the middle of July, the Reuters/Ipsos survey showed consistently lower support for Trump than other polls were capturing. At times, the Reuters/Ipsos poll showed Clinton with a lead over Trump as wide as about 12 percentage points among registered voters – five percentage points higher than Clinton’s lead in some other comparable polls.

[…] During the period analyzed, the historically high antipathy for both major candidates, paired with the option of selecting “Neither/Other,” meant the Reuters/Ipsos poll probably under reported Trump’s support before the Republican convention, perhaps by 3 to 5 percentage points.

Reuters?

Dude, wtf!?

They deliberately changed their poll methods and went back for weeks of previous poll data to change the outcome of their own polls!

According to them.

They weren't really hiding what they were doing, just trying to follow a very unique election cycle.

Beitbart and zerohedge or Reuters I suppose... which, frankly, is conspiracy (not in the pejorative sense, it really could be) or news.

We all have our filters... it is good to see you aren't the one in eight losing the faith though.

Yeah, it's weird how they "corrected" their data to all make Hillary's election look inevitable, and their new results were even less accurate than what they had before..

Strange..

Even weirder is how they kept correcting it to favor Clinton as Trump gained on her using their previous metrics..

[TheReal_ND]

tfw too smart to not believe polls

[Hanarchy Montanarchy]

Why would a deep conspiracy to manipulate the voting population into voting for Hillary work to make her election seem inevitable, disincentivizing swing voters who were already less than enthusiastic about the candidate?

Strange that master manipulators should be so incompetent...

[TheReal_ND]

Oh fug!

[pineapplemike]

Damn those first few Arrested Development seasons were so good..

[Okeefenokee]

yeah, they're gonna destroy it.

[Speaker to Animals]

Drumpf is finished for sure now.

[Dand]

yeah, they're gonna destroy it.

They already did with season 4. What a disappointment.

South Park has already stated they won't do any Trump jokes next season: http://us.blastingnews.com/showbiz-tv/2 ... 26101.html

Arrested Development is going to be extremely late to the punch and probably unfunny like Season 4.
