Donald Trump’s poll numbers are so bad his supporters are making up new ones

[DonViejo]

The polls don’t look good at all for Donald Trump right now. The RealClearPolitics average of the polls has Hillary Clinton up by 6.7 points. The Huffington Post Pollster has Clinton up by 7.4 points. The New York Times gives Clinton an 80 percent chance of winning the election, and FiveThirtyEight gives her an 81.7 percent chance.

In the face of all this bad news, some Trump supporters have taken it upon themselves to, essentially, make up poll numbers that look favorable for Trump. This is Long Room, the website dedicated to changing poll numbers so they’re “unbiased”:

These poll numbers are total bullshit. The website’s methodology page claims that the tracker incorporates state data to accurately reflect the demographics of voters. But it seems that, in reality, if a pollster consistently gets results that favor Clinton, it’s deemed more “biased” — and Long Room changes the number further in Trump’s direction.

Of course, this misses the possibility that the great majority of polls aren’t biased at all and Clinton really is far ahead of Trump in the election. Still, Trump supporters — especially at r/The_Donald on Reddit — are promoting this site to give themselves a bit of hope.

1. Unskewed Part Deaux

Or Part duh. Can't wait for this to take hold. Let them think their unskewed polls mean something while we take GA, AZ, and TX.

6. Only with some remarkably silly DUers

We'requick to point out when a poll appears to be an outlier, but mostly DUers understand polling and the importance of trending.

As long as republicans insist in living inside the right wing echo sphere they will continue to lose the White House.
