While almost all polls, including the most recent CBS and USA Today polls continue to show Trump with a substantial national lead, the WSJ out of no where Congress out with a poll with Cruz on the lead. Now look at who does the WSJ polls:

"Republican pollster Bill McInturff, who conducted this survey with Democratic pollster Peter Hart and his firm Hart Research Associates, says Trump's drop could signal being "right on top of a shift in the campaign."

Two Establishment hacks just put a little more weighting here, a little less weighting there in their samples and voila they get the results that the Establishment is desperate to get.

No doubt similar type of efforts are forthcoming to stop Sanders. The Democratic hacks whose jobs depends on a Clinton victory are pouring out of the woodwork with endorsements for the Establishment's pick as the one most likely to keep the gravy train going for Wall Street and D.C, Inc. Sanders is going all the way and this will be the most contentious conventions since the Humphrey-McCarthy convention and may end up ripping both Establishment parties apart. Hope so.

This is crazy. Both polls are in the headlines this morning, one above another. In one you read Trump is in second position and the other says he is where he has always been and none of them try to explain what the hell is going on.

Absolutely. That poll is wayyyyyyy off from everything else, and that tells you it's BS. The establishments games will not work. Once SC and Nevada have passed it will show that poll is rigged.

The Establishment (Walk Street and D.C, Inc.) are beyond desperate. They are doing everything they can to get Clinton, Rubio or Bush as the candidates. They can't believe what is happening as the Electorate is rising up against decades of financial repression by the hacks of D.C. and their Banker cronies

It's so easy to fudge a poll based upon sampling data and weighting, the political hacks who ran this poll can do anything they want and get away with it.

Why would the WSJ support someone who favors defaulting on the national debt (Cruz)? I could see Bush or Robio. Maybe they are a bridge too far at this point, though.

Apparently it's called an agenda poll.

They have to appear somewhat credible. Putting Rubio in the lead would be beyond absurd. The goal at this point is to knock the wind out of anti-Establishment candidates and then get there Establishment candidate in at the convention.

I took a quick glance at the broadcast (ABC, CBS, NBC) national news last night. Without exception all three lead in with the big story that Ted Cruz is now the front runner based solely on this rigged poll. This while completely ignoring the two other polls that has Trump far ahead.

The MSM wonders why its ratings are in the toilet. Well this is why. They have no credibility at all.
