Just got a fundraising email from Michael Moore saying CNN poll has Biden only up by 1 point.

[honest.abe]

I did a search of latest polls and could not find this. Is this bogus? i really dont trust this guy anymore.

Update: Its an old poll from August which he cherry picked the data. It’s garbage. Also it appears not to be from Moore directly. It’s from some org named voter protection project that used Moore’s statements and photo.

1. How much is MM take?

[TomCADem]

2. You Are Kidding Me. I Could See Moore Supporting a Third Party Candidate...

...or Jill Stein, since his favorite pass time is to blame Democrats. Is that legit?

[LakeArenal]

3. Susan Sarandon, Nina Turner, Michael Moore are all the same person.

4. GOTV!!

We cannot get complacent and repeat 2016!!

Need to stay Fired up!!! Ready to go!!!

5. Fundraising emails are designed to scare people into donating.

The pitch implies that if you don't send in your money right now, your candidate will be defeated and it will be all your fault. I delete those damn things and unsubscribe. I don't need that kind of terror campaign to get me to contribute.

[TreasonousBastard]

31. All true, but it's apparently important to bring them here to show us... something.

[LeftInTX]

36. You wanna see my inbox?

You should see what I get from Nancy Pelosi!

[TreasonousBastard]

37. Same ones I get. And I've getting fundraising emails from just about everyone running for office...

even republicans who tell me they are desperate for funds.

All get trashed.

[TwilightZone]

6. Registered voters in battleground states.

Looks like he's cherry-picking. I'm not sure it's even correct with those limitations.

[honest.abe]

15. I don't see any recent cnn poll that has these numbers.

Seems entirely bogus. Moore has turned into a fraud.

[Claustrum]

16. If he picks like OH, IA, GA and TX

That could be true since most of those are tied and TX is behind.

[TwilightZone]

32. I don't think he would consider TX and GA battleground states yet.

Here's a good list, along with polling data. It's nowhere near Biden +1.

7. Where does the money go towards ?

[Cha]

8. Oh really.. MM is fundraising on a poll showing

Biden is up only one point.

How much is MM going to rake him

[Gothmog]

9. I would not donate to michael Moore

I change chanels when this person comes on tv. I really have no respect for this person

[Statistical]

10. Moore has been a lying sack of shit for a long time now.

The screenshot also says 47-47 in Minnesota. There is no respectable poll showing that. There is one from Trafalgar Group a Republican organization which showed that but back in July. It says only up by 4 in Michigan the last poll I can find that supports that is from August and was an outlier.

I think it is good to donate to campaigns but Moore just lies nonstop so I would just donate though ActBlue directly to candidates.

[edhopper]

11. combining all battleground States

is a useless stat.

[Claustrum]

19. I don't think it's ALL battleground states, it's more likely cherry picked ones that are tied

[edhopper]

29. So he excluded

WI, MI, PA...

Biden tied in FL, TX, GA & SC is great.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

12. He likes to be a perpetual victim.

If he was in the mythical Garden of Eden from the Bible, without death and suffering, he'd be complaining about the tree that was off-limits.

[BannonsLiver]

13. I guess that's his schtick even in emails

Very on brand.

[BGBD]

14. So,

the poll he's talking about is from mid August and had it Biden +4 overall. The most recent CNN poll is all the way back in early September and has it Biden +8 and +5 in Battlegrounds. That was in the wake of the RNC when Trumps numbers were getting a boost as well.

This is a really disingenuous use of old polling to scare up donations.

[honest.abe]

18. Ah thank you.. that explains it!

I expected it was something like that. Thank you!

[Sogo]

21. Might be a scam, a bogus use of Michael Moore's persona,

not that I have much respect for MM.....But what's to stop someone from sending out bogus letters and raking in some cash?

[BainsBane]

17. He's lying

[honest.abe]

20. It's bogus old poll.

What an asshole Moore has become.

[calguy]

22. Ya know, q used to like him

But that passed a long time ago.

[still_one]

23. I dislike MM immensely, but this looks like someone is trolling using his name

[honest.abe]

24. I was wondering about that as well.

Very possible.

[Cha]

34. And, picture.

[Beringia]

25. This is from Michael Moore's Facebook post from Aug 28, so outdated

https://www.facebook.com/mmflint/photos/a.10150288227701857/10157178473831857/?type=3&theater

[honest.abe]

27. Thank you.

Clearly it’s bogus since it’s so old data.

[Maru Kitteh]

26. I wouldn't trust that asshole with the change under my couch.

[Beringia]

28. Also this is from the Voter Protection Project, not Michael Moore

[honest.abe]

30. Yes.. I see that now.

They just used Moore’s statements and photo.

[TwilightZone]

33. Here's a newer list, along with polling data. Nowhere near Biden +1 overall.

[TheDemsshouldhireme]

35. Moore's support of Ralph

helped Bush win, got you 2 of the justices who voted for Citizens United and the Janus decision, helping corporations and hurting unions.

But hey, I guess he can make another movie about corporate influence and the struggles of unions.

[CloudWatcher]

38. Send your $ to the candidates

I don't trust these guys. I'm not saying they are frauds, but they look a lot like the mailings I get from Trump.

Just send your $ to the candidate campaigns and be done with it.
