15. There was a fake WSJ poll

Tue Oct 9, 2018, 01:39 PM

Oct 2018

that came out right after Kavanaugh got elected. I had to laugh at it, it showed a big surge in Republican enthusiasm. Heck there wasn't even time for the poll to take effect.

Be wary of fake polls meant to demoralize us. Also the corporate media is full of right wing talking points.
