        • Latest ABC tracking poll shows Hillary with a 12-point lead over Trump. But what's the rest of the story? First of all, the sample size was tiny, a mere 847 respondents. Now let's look at the demographic breakdown:

          36% Democrat
          31% Independent
          27% Republican

          It would seem the real story is that ABC could only get a +12 for Hillary out of such an obviously rigged poll.

          • See the Drudge Report before he replaces the picture of Hillary's eyes in 5 photos (or rather, 5 views of a single photo), along with headline SHOCK POLL: ALL TIED UP

            • WikiLeaks shows evidence of the Hillary campaign conspiring with the media and various pollsters to "cook" the polls:

              Source: ZeroHedge

              Now, for all of you out there who still aren't convinced that the polls are "adjusted", we present to you the following Podesta email, leaked earlier today, that conveniently spells out, in detail, exactly how to "manufacture" the desired data. The email starts out with a request for recommendations on "oversamples for polling" in order to "maximize what we get out of our media polling."

              I also want to get your Atlas folks to recommend oversamples for our polling before we start in February. By market, regions, etc. I want to get this all compiled into one set of recommendations so we can maximize what we get out of our media polling.

              The email even includes a handy, 37-page guide with the following poll-rigging recommendations. In Arizona, over sampling of Hispanics and Native Americans is highly recommended:

              Research, microtargeting & polling projects
              - Over-sample Hispanics
              - Use Spanish language interviewing. (Monolingual Spanish-speaking voters are among the lowest turnout Democratic targets)
              - Over-sample the Native American population

              For Florida, the report recommends "consistently monitoring" samples to makes sure they're "not too old" and "has enough African American and Hispanic voters." Meanwhile, "independent" voters in Tampa and Orlando are apparently more dem friendly so the report suggests filling up independent quotas in those cities first.

              - Consistently monitor the sample to ensure it is not too old, and that it has enough African American and Hispanic voters to reflect the state.
              - On Independents: Tampa and Orlando are better persuasion targets than north or south Florida (check your polls before concluding this). If there are budget questions or oversamples, make sure that Tampa and Orlando are included first.

              Meanwhile, it's suggested that national polls over sample "key districts / regions" and "ethnic" groups "as needed."

              - General election benchmark, 800 sample, with potential over samples in key districts/regions
              - Benchmark polling in targeted races, with ethnic over samples as needed
              - Targeting tracking polls in key races, with ethnic over samples as needed

                Notice how their talking points obviously tell all the dem operatives to 'switch the focus to Russia - a foreign government trying to interfere with free elections'?

                We should be more outraged that OUR OWN MEDIA is engaging in interfering with free elections, and the Dems are complicit!
