BREAKING: Today Trump paid McLaughlin & Associates to claim that CNN's polls are skewed.

gawd, Trump hires only the best you know!!





McLaughlin had E.Cantor up by 34 pts before losing by 11 in 2014. The NRCC warned candidates to steer clear bc Cantor wasn't the first... Linda McMahon, Tom Smith, George Allen, Romney in VA, Bob Dold, Richard Tisei -- all in the McLaughlin graveyard https://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-b

BREAKING: Today Trump paid McLaughlin & Associates to claim that CNN's polls are skewed. Fact is, FiveThirtyEight has McLaughlin graded a C/D, with a +0.9 Republican mean bias, while CNN is graded a B+ with absolutely no bias.

Trump is melting down because Biden is dominating!

McLaughlin is objectively one of the worst pollsters regardless of political affiliation. He had Eric Cantor winning by 30+ points just 2 weeks before losing. He's gotten it very wrong in multiple Senate/House races, not to mention getting 2012 presidential state polls very wrong

Masters Level Trolling!

I approve.

This reminds me of Dick Morris's prediction "Romney in a Landslide".

That's it- ratings. It's all he cares about.

He is the most vacuous son of a bitch I have ever seen. The type of guy you would meet in a bar, and just talk to for about 3 minutes, and walk away from.

Let him think he has a leg up going into November. Maybe he won't start a war.

They accused them of statistical errors they didn't make, and pretended to adjust the numbers to where they "should be".
The email looked like it was from Epstein's mother.
