Still Report #634 - Fake "Agenda Poll" Pushes Cruz
To become Partner #493: www.billstill.com, then Click "Subscribe”.

Yesterday the political world was stunned by what most called an outlier poll that suddenly placed Ted Cruz ahead of Donald Trump in the Republican Presidential contest.
[insert chart]
The poll was paid for by NBC News and the Wall Street Journal. It showed Cruz with 28% nationally followed by Trump at 26%. Huh???
In fact, here’s an overview of 11 different national polls, ending between Feb. 7th and 16th. Trump’s average is 36.7% followed by Cruz with 18.7% - an 18 point spread – nearly double.
Political watchers were stunned by this outlier poll.
Trump immediately called it “a fix” and a “Rupert Murdoch Hit”.
Turns out he was right. The outlier poll is a notorious “Agenda Poll”. According to a new Breitbart story:
“An ‘agenda poll’ has nothing to do with the support. Agenda Polls are manufactured to create media talking points, to create media narratives.”
“They are trying to blunt momentum and block the inevitability factor [of Trump], that’s all. Period.”
The poll was conducted by Hart Research slash Public Opinion Strategies of Alexandria, VA – just across the river from D.C. According to the company:
“About half our research is dedicated to winning elections.”
In other words, this is not legitimate polling, it’s manufactured polling. They take a small sample and chop it up to get the result they want. As Breitbart put it:
“This poll is not data from a valid polling organization, it’s from a PR firm. NBC/WSJ take the PR firm data and sell it as if they themselves, the media, conducted the poll. They didn’t.”
As Trump put it:
“It’s obviously not having very much of an impact. People at NBC News were embarrassed by it.”
I’m still reporting from Washington. Good day.
