rating of Rhode Island Democrat Governor Gina Raimondo, who’s also vice chair
of the Democratic Governors Association, dropped to an all-time low of 40%,
with 47% disapproving, making her the most
vulnerable incumbent Dem governor running in 2018.

WASHINGTON SECRETS
'Fraud': Mainstream polls use 29% more
Democrats than Republicans
By Paul Bedard
Most of the top political polls that got the
2016 presidential race dead wrong are continuing to use a flawed methodology in
rating President Trump's approval ratings that favors Democrats, women and
younger voters, according to a new analysis.
The report shows that the mainstream polls
oversample an average of 29 percent more Democrats than Republicans and the
results skew anti-Trump. The result is that it robs Trump of about 8 points in
his approval ratings, from 46 percent to 38 percent, it said.
And, said the report from Bombthrowers.com,
one outfit, the Economist, used 58 percent more Democrats than Republicans in a
recent poll on Trump's approval ratings.
"In every poll, Democrat respondents
outnumbered Republicans by significant amounts. The Economist poll was the
worst. Only 24 percent of respondents (360) were Republicans compared to 38
percent (570) Democrats – which means that 58 percent more Democrats were
polled than Republicans, as shown in the %D/R column.
On average, in these seven
widely recognized national polls, only 29 percent (409 people) of the total
1,383 polled were Republicans, while 37 percent (518) were Democrats. Another
way of saying it is that, on average, 29 percent more Democrats than
Republicans were polled," wrote James Simpson, an economist, businessman
and journalist.
Simpson called the practice
"fraud."
He also noted that the random sample used by
many pollsters includes too many liberals and even illegal immigrants, and said
that choosing "likely voters" is the best gauge. McLaughlin and
Rasmussen use likely voters and show Trump's approval rating higher than the
others.
John McLaughlin, a pollster for Trump, put
the Bombthrower report on his company's website and emailed it around
Washington. In it, McLaughlin said the big polls skew results for Democrats and
against Trump.
"Not only does it affect [Trump's] job
rating and favorable rating, it also affects the policies and issues these
polls purport to measure. Maybe this is why so many Republicans, Independents
and Trump voters seem to disregard media polls. It appears the media is once
again sacrificing its credibility for its liberal, anti-Trump bias," said
the pollster.
