Clinton Leads In Breitbart Poll Conducted As Rebuke To MSM Surveys
Source: Talking Points Memo
Aiming to address a recent slew of mainstream media polls showing Hillary Clinton holding a decisive lead over of Donald Trump, Breitbart News conducted its own survey. But the conservative news site came up with similar results.
In a poll out Sunday from Breitbart and Gravis Marketing, Clinton led a four-way contest with 42 percent of the vote to Trumps 37 percent. Libertarian Gary Johnson earned 9 percent of the vote, while the Green Partys Jill Stein received 3 percent.
Breitbart editor-in-chief Alex Marlow explained in a statement accompanying the survey that the site would launch its own series of polls to provide an accurate assessment of the 2016 race.
Its an open secret that polls are often manipulated and spun to create momentum for a particular candidate or issue, Marlow said. Breitbart News Networks first national poll marks the start of a major initiative to give our readers an accurate assessment on where the American people stand on the key topics and people of the day without the mainstream media filter.

(15,696 posts)And I'm sure it was a push poll with an MOE of +/- 15.
And I really, really hope they paid a fortune for this poll.
