The Hill is running with a breathless headline that a new poll shows Kamala Harris with a seven-point lead nationally.
Vice President Harris holds a 7-point edge over former President Trump nationally in a new poll.https://t.co/7RWaZXmq4J

First, it's meaningless because we have the Electoral College and not a national popular vote (thank goodness!), but some cursory digging -- ya know, the stuff journalists used to do -- shows the truth of this poll likes just beneath the surface:
This headline is completely untrue.

The FDU Poll actually found Trump with a 1-point lead until they pushed respondents with gender and race questions THEN RE-ASKED them for whom they would vote.
This may be the biggest polling scam of the cycle. https://t.co/U2Lg10D5ik
Why would they have to lie of Kamala has the momentum?
Hahahahahaha.
We know why.
The fake news media propaganda is in full swing.

It sure is.
I absolutely do not understand polling. Isn't two questions enough?

1. Are you voting in November?
2. Who are you most likely voting for?

Because they might get answers they don't like.
A push poll! Crazy a campaign technique is reported like an actual poll.

By willing and eager media accomplices.
These polls are designed not to reflect opinion, but to influence opinion.

Told y'all the fake polls would start rolling out today. https://t.co/7PWIpbhWsF
