Have news organizations stopped doing the online polls after a debate?

I haven't seen any "who won the debate polls." I know they are really representative of much, but it seems strange they are gone.

1. they all have online polls which are pretty much 100% worthless

2. CNN did a nationwide poll not an on-line poll and HRC won it handily

She won all the focus groups. Why would you want an on-line poll anyway? Every Trump supporter and Clinton supporter would go to it to try and influence it. Not scientific at all.

4. I ususally see lots of these type polls. This time, I have seen none. That was curious to me. n/t

8. Why have on line polls which are so easily manipulated....

.... by a small group of zealous supporters who have nothing better to do than click away for hours to make their candidate look good in a meaningless poll?

3. everyone knows online polls...

can be freeped.

5. All on-line, self-selected polls are meaningless. All of them.

Whether it is political, or ESPN.com, or People magazine.


An on-line poll is self-selecting..... meaning not random..... and therefore the opposite of a scientific poll.


On a side note.... Drudge shows Trump won the debate 80-20. If 20% of Drudge viewers think Hillary won, then she completely kicked ass. That's like 20% of the members of the KKK saying they like and respect Obama.

I saw Time and CNBC, but they've already been overtaken by repugs...

7. Yup, alt right trolls have flooded just about every single one of them

The more reputable news sites have taken them down because of manipulation. Even local news ones seem to be getting hammered.

9. There was an organized effort by delusional Trump supporters to flood all online polls

and make sure Trump won all those since he got so completely spanked in the debate and lost miserably.

CNN is pretty much ignoring those results because they know who actually won, lol.

All the did was boost Trump's out of control ego to think he really did win, so he will just do the same thing next time and lose again.

I peeked at freerepublic and there was a thread with links to all online polls for people to flood.
