Trump Pollster McLaughlin: ‘Anti-Trump’ Media Knowingly Pushing False Polls

9

WASHINGTON (Newsmax) – The mainstream media is putting out biased polls just as it did in 2016 in order to give the false impression that President Donald Trump is on his way to electoral defeat, Trump pollster John McLaughlin said in an interview that aired Sunday.

Speaking on “The Cats Roundtable” radio show on WABC 770 AM hosted by John Catsimatidis, McLaughlin said that “the mainstream media is so anti-Trump that … they’re doing polls that they know will be skewed, that will water down the Republican vote, will water down the Trump vote.”

Explaining that the surveys showing that Trump is behind by double digits to the presumptive Democratic Party nominee Joe Biden are just not true, McLaughlin said, “You’ve got this media bias that’s trying to discourage Trump voters from coming out and proving those media polls wrong again” as they were in the presidential race against Hillary Clinton four years ago.

McLaughlin stressed that if you look at the details, “Trump’s base is rock solid,” but the surveys “under-count the Republicans” in order to obtain their false results.

However, McLaughlin said, “The mainstream media and their outrage at Donald Trump and the bias in trying to defat him is really transparent to most voters.”

He emphasized that the race is very close, and that the Trump campaign is going “to run like we’re behind.”

McLaughlin said the challenge is to “make this race a contrast between what Donald Trump wants to do and what Joe Biden would do” and to demonstrate the achievements the president has throughout his term in office and especially in steering the country through the recent twin upheavals of the coronavirus pandemic and the social unrest.

Of course , we know. The fakers , frauds and liars are “Made in China” desperate rodents.
They don’t want to us to come out and vote. Guess what ?
Even more than in 2016, we’re fired and loaded to the hilt. After what they put our president and the nation through ?
Nothing you lowlifes tried worked, and your faux polls won ‘t either.

Bill Gates “computer chip in the Covid-19 vaccine” conspiracy theory is laughable! The truth? The anti-Trump, anti-police, psycho- progressive agenda was already released in the air or water; and has already infected large parts of the public! (It seems to affect weak minded people in greater proportions!) LOL

Wouldn’t polls showing Trump behind have the effect of energizing his supporters?

McLaughlin is actually one of the most unreliable polling firms. 538 based on his history gives him a C/D grade. CNN gets a B+.

The most famous McLaughlin failure was when his poll showed Eric Cantor ahead of Dave Brat by 34 points back in 2014, just a few weeks before the primary. Brat won by 11 and the National Republican Congressional Committee put out a public warning to Republicans not to use McLaughlin. But Trump hired McLaughlin, probably because he will tell Trump good news — until Trump gets the bad news on election day.

Charles:
Tell the WHOLE STORY.
Which is that no poll showed Cantor losing.
It was a shock.
Trump wii be reelected. The SILENCED majority is raging now.

The polling was done by a recognized, fair, polling firm. Similar questions were given for the 2018 election where Dems won.

With Biden coming in, America will be whole again. If you are worried about foreign policy, nothing will change. Israel with get Judea and Samaria, and Biden, a devout Christian, will not hurt Israel, but will try to create a state for the Palestinians. The problem is that Trumps son-in-law will not be in an influential position.
