etc etc. There are multiple polls out there with very large Rethug bias. Of course there are a few the other way too, but somehow THOSE (Dem bias too high) never seem to get tossed out much. A few, but usually those are debunked as well.

There are is small but very active cadre of new posters who just flood the board with pure concern poll troll posts.

Hope that helps.........

A request: If you see polls favorable to the Right, DON'T POST THEM HERE. [View all] Ken Burch Nov 2016 OP

I wonder why so many low count posters keep doing that? Happyhippychick Nov 2016 #1

Is there a way to alert on them for that? Ken Burch Nov 2016 #5

I don't think so. I think we can just let the host know. Happyhippychick Nov 2016 #6

How is that done...never had the need before...the 'concerned' are so irritating Demsrule86 Nov 2016 #9

I've never done it either. I'll look into it and see if I can figure it out. Happyhippychick Nov 2016 #11
