After I posted the previous item, I saw this. You all know this site called Breitbart, which is so right-wing conspiracy oriented that a lot of conservatives disown it. It's the main site that supported (and may still support for all I know) James O'Keefe, the guy who goes out with hidden cameras and phony names and tries to get people to say things he can edit into "proof" of some right-wing conspiracy belief.
Anyway, the folks at Breitbart decided that the mainstream polls showing Hillary ahead were all bogus so they commissioned their own…and it showed Hillary running five points ahead of Donald Trump, which is the low end of what the mainstream polls say. Most of them have her at around eight. So Breitbart more or less validated the pollsters that show her beating Trump.
But wait. Given the rep of Breitbart, you have to wonder. Might this not be a trick to establish some credibility for their poll? If they came out showing Trump clobbering her, everyone would dismiss it as another Breitbart phony deal like all those claims of evidence that Obama is a gay Muslim or that Planned Parenthood broasts or deep-fries unborn children.
By saying she's five up, they look kinda reasonable. Then next week, they can announce she's three points ahead. Then by the second week in September, they can have them neck-and-neck…and in October, Trump supporters will have a poll they can point to and say, "Those are the real numbers! Trump is twelve points ahead!"
I wouldn't put it past them.
