So your thesis is that Trump is actually wildly popular with the vast majority of Americans but the powers-that-be are censoring essentially every news organization on the planet? Can we get this thread moved to the conspiracy theory section?

Shanners' tin foil hat deflects your reality-attack. It's super effective.

How else can it be explained?

Unless you're posturing that that screen shot is fake???

Yes, I'm saying it's fake, but even if it wasn't, you're fishing out ONE poll from hundreds and holding it up as evidence of a global conspiracy. Have you ever heard of Ockham's Razor? That's not even the correct website, it has a .co suffix.

ABC News is out of NYC, not Columbia.

And how did you make the leap to "censorship"?

This belongs in CT ...

If there was a BS section in this forum, that is where this would go.

abcnewsgo.com is ABC news' actual site.

abcnewsgo.co is a phony site.
 
Why does Snopes automatically become a reliable source? After all, they promote the crackpot theory that nineteen Muslim "hijackers", who had trouble tying their own shoelaces, and who were fond of bars, strippers and pork chops, out-foxed the entire US military/intelligence establishment on Sept.11 and planned the whole thing from some cave in the mountains of Afghanistan!

Btw, this wasn't meant as an endorsement of Trump. It's just that he appears to be the lesser of the two evils. However Gary Johnson seems to be genuine.

So you are unable to tell the difference between "co" and "com". I find that telling...

Yep. I thought X Factor was just kidding too. But obviously that's not the case at all.

Simple. The Jews control the media as well as Wikipedia, and that's why the Holocaust was faked.

It's funny, Trump has thousands of people attend his rallies to Hillary's hundreds. He drew more votes in the Primaries than any other GOP candidate in all of history. There is more talk and more publicity about him than at any other time and for any other candidate, but when someone shows a poll that looks like he is taking a large number of the votes - it is suddenly a conspiracy. Do you see the irony in your statement?
 
Facts:

1. Trump's chance of winning in November has gained about 2.5 percentage points nationally since last Friday. He is now at a solid 13.7%.

2. Trump is once again projected to be more likely to win Georgia, by about 0.7%.

3. Hillary is still projected to be 2.5% more likely to win Arizona

4. Trumps chances to win in South Carolina is less than 10% higher than Hillary's

5. Hillary has a 73% chance to win NC; a 74.7% chance to win Ohio; a 76.6% chance to win Florida; an 86.3% chance to win PA, a 88.9% chance to win Virginia, and a 91.7% chance to win Michigan---in other words all the swing states which matter.

6. Hillary has over a 99% chance to win the following two huge states: CA & NY, while Donald holds onto Texas with only a 78.9% chance of winning it.

7. Western states like Nevada, New Mexico and Colorado? Hillary is projected to win: 75%, 89% and 91% respectively.

Fake poll, NOT the actual ABC News (it is a spoofed site with a .co extension)

And, its an online poll, which is garbage, because anyone can set up a macro and vote thousands of times.

FAIL

That's what the huffingtonpost wants you to believe. They used the information to put their own spin on the results. Truth be told if 10% of those in 2012 attended a rally in an incumbent year of re-election as compared to the 53% that voted that says nothing. What was the number of the crowds who showed up? 10% of 100 is 10 - 10% of 2500 is 250. Plus compare that with the meaning behind this election - Americans are worked up and want change. I bet if polled fairly, a much larger percentage will be present both at the polling places and at the rallies. They said the same thing during the primaries remember - and we know for a fact that the large groups in the rallies turned out to be the most votes ever cast in a GOP primary and Trump received the most votes as a GOP Candidate. Plus also, to see so much interest in a primary so early on, is unprecedented. So clearly, the huffingtonpost is trying to convince you of something that isn't really pertinent in this years election. They want you to believe what they need you to believe.

As for polls - here's what I think about their accuracy:
