Featured RealClear Politics: Aug 8 Polls

From September 2015:
Carson’s 4 million Facebook followers easily best Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton’s 1.5 million, and put him ahead of every other Republican candidate. Donald Trump can claim 3.8 million, the next highest, but he has had a Facebook page since 2009. Carson’s was launched in September 2014. Fellow outsider Carly Fiorina registers just under 500,000, and establishment candidates Jeb Bush, John Kasich, and Chris Christie all hover under 300,000.

Yeppers, Hank, Al Gore did just that sixteen years ago. That's an unusual combination you had there, btw.

These polls, still have the belief that they're not all that important until October unless you're with a campaign. New technology has rendered some of the old proven techniques obsolete, the internet and its social media has to be accounted for.

Well, by then, everybody in the country had heard of Trump and Clinton but not Ben Carson. These social media stats could be more significant in a heads-up race between two slightly (okay, greatly) flawed candidates.

 

Right, and I trust the social media a lot more than these Orwellian doublespeak polls.

Be ready for the October-November surprises.

Plural because they are probably both setting up an information scam!
