Donald Trump supporters are just making up data now to make him look good.
Results from a “shock” poll shared by one of Donald Trump’s surrogates started trending on X Monday, telling 1.4 million people that the Republican presidential nominee was gaining ground on Vice President Kamala Harris in New Mexico.
But none of it appears to be real.
MAGA ally Richard Grennell, who served as the acting director of national intelligence during Trump’s administration, posted the sourceless numbers to his X account, claiming that Harris only had a three-point lead on the former president in the battleground state. But that alleged narrow lead made light of other recent surveys, including one published in the Albuquerque Journal on Monday, which showed Harris with a nine-point lead, three times more than Grennell suggested.
“Trump surrogates are literally fabricating polls at this point to make their supporters think a victory is inevitable,” wrote Democratic strategist and pollster Matt McDermott in response to Grennell’s post. “No poll shows this in New Mexico.”
Yes. They’re making up all the bullshit pretext for another attempt at overthrowing a fair election. They’ve been doing it for weeks.
Exactly. So the real question is, why is New Republic trying to help Trump by downplaying it as “mere” propaganda?
I am sick and tired of the entire news media – even the nominally (according to the bot) “left” ones – carrying water for the fascists!
The bot called the internet archive left-center
What pisses me off most about this is that Hillary had a massive lead and polls had her at 95% chance to win, yet even the claim of Russian propaganda was balked at let alone an actual stolen election.
But now they’ll use fucked up polls as proof of election interference/fraud…
I hate this timeline so fucking much…
So strange to define a span of years as weeks.
A lot of weeks then.
Exactly. I expect to see one of these types of reports for almost every state in the next week or two.
