This is why we shouldn't trust any polls as gospel.

Most of us know this but the real damage comes when multi media picks up the fake poll and runs with it like it is the truth taken directly from the pulse of America.



Hillary, Obama Trump of course the poll results are skewed and biased. It is politics and it is up to us to believe what we will.

Lovely avoidance of the fact that your fearless leader directed poll rigging.

A guy who goes around saying how everything is rigged against him.

What level of lies will finally make the people who worship this con man regain some level of human dignity?

While I do agree and I have a skeptical bone in my body. I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. When it's admitted to that's when it's damning in my eyes.

I bet if Trump approval rating was above 50% ever that'd be gospel.

I once had a supervisor tell me that if you worked for someone that thought people were leaving early, cheating on their time, cheating on their work, and was generally accusing everyone of doing something wrong, most likely that is because they themselves were doing it or had spent their career doing it. We know that's true in this case.

Liberty University, which calls itself a christian school and was founded by tv evangelist Jerry Falwell (now run by his son who is close to Trump), selling itself out to bribes. Works to fool the public. Ultimate hypocrisy.

And it's a wonder why Trump loved himself some Evangelist. I've said in the past I bet these Evangelist were paid off by Trump.

In addition to the poor ethics of this, payouts to work on behalf of a campaign that are not reported are illegal. It is a violation of campaign finance laws as they require disclosure. This is similar to the payouts for silence to the Enquirer and Stormy Daniels during the campaign.
