POLLS LIE

By Dr. Max Allen

Polls are driven by numbers and statistics, the high octane fuel of elegant lies.  Past polls have been twisted like a rope in the wind.

Why distort results?  Polls are taken with agenda.  They’re not designed to discover truth as much as to affirm preconceptions and to convince the ignorant.

2016 saw ‘bogus polls’ proliferate.  Every one showed Candidate Clinton leading Candidate Trump by a significant margin.

Surprise!  Clinton was handed monumental defeat to her opponent.

Recent polls show the president trailing others by an ever-increasing margin.  As the 2020 Election approaches, expect polls to lie and mislead at every turn.  Expect another landslide victory for Mr. Trump.

I’m Max, and that’s the way I see it.
