Polled

  Last night I read three polls regarding the upcoming election between Trump and Clinton. Two of the polls, Rasmussen and FOX had Trump ahead, a CBS/NYT poll had Clinton ahead.

  I want to point out that in the last election cycle, the right decided that polls were biased against their candidates and set out to create new polls which they somehow believed reflected more accuracy in numbers.

  This same sentiment and notion is in play this year as the partisan Rasmussen and partisan FOX polls show Trump leading.

  In my opinion, and let me restate,  this is opinion, but I believe the right is deliberately using these partisan pollsters as a propaganda tool, truth be damned. If enough people can walk away from the news believing that Trump is leading then maybe they too will either vote for a 'winner' or will for some reason not vote for Clinton as she apparently will lose. In other words, the right wing pollsters are simply part of the right wing main stream biased media and will tell the 'truth' that fits their agenda.
