Warning about the "UPI/CVoter" poll (Owned by a right-wing nut)

[molova]

There is a tracking poll pretending to show Donald Trump ahead of Hillary Clinton by 1% nationally. Link
It has to be noted that this poll is owned by the same corporation that owns the right-wing Washignton Times newspaper, whose chairman is right-wing nut Preston Moon, son of the right-wing nut Sun Myung Moon.

Right-wing sites often tout this poll as proof that Trump is doing well against Clinton.

1. UPI - owned by the Reverend Sun Myung Moon franchise....say no more!

Helen Thomas quit them because they were "too loony" for her.

UPI used to be respected in the fifties and sixties....kinda like the Wall Street Journal, which was conservative but not insane, before Murdoch bought it.

The brand has been irretrievably besmirched by that Moonie stink. The WASHINGTON TIMES, their garbage paper, is unsuitable even as bird cage lining!

2. UPI used to be equal to AP

Man, how they have fallen. Sad.

6. The Washington Times is only published electronically. They stopped

their print edition which makes it even more unsuitable as bird cage lining.

7. Probably because no one was buying it. Last time I saw a print copy of that rag was

at least fifteen years ago, come to think of it...!!

8. Their printing got down to 2000 copies per day that they gave out outside

their building.

9. I think a lot of them were distributed at the Pentagon ...

3. This is a self-selection poll. Therefore useless.

10. It has a black box...

There are no cross tabs which is the sine qua non of any legitimate poll.

4. if it helps keep tRump in the race and the tRumpkins showing up for his rallies, fantastic!

seriously, if tRump doesn't get a chance to think he's winning, or at least keeping it close, he might just drop the whole thing and go back to his usual fraudulent activities. we need him to stay in the race, to hasten the collapse of the Republican party.

5. The Moony Poll.

11. Thanks

I ended up on the UPI site and it seemed to be full of right wing nut jobs - now I understand why
