President Donald Trump, furious at polling results that showed him trailing former Vice President Joe Biden, abruptly parted ways with three pollsters, one who headed a company founded by White House counselor Kellyanne Conway.
Per Politico, pollster Brett Lloyd heads the Polling Company, started by Conway in 1995. She no longer has any formal relationship with the company.
Trump has been poll-obsessed recently, even lashing out at his beloved Fox News Tuesday morning for a poll showing that Biden was edging him out in some battleground states.
It’s hard to get your head around the full extent or count the many layers of the irony of Trump firing a company started by KAC for telling the truth.
Grifters grifting grifters. Is there an enigma thing here somewhere? It always confuses me. Wouldn’t be surprised if a family member was running the operation with mom sitting on the board. And pulling out ‘consulting fees’ annually - before filing taxes showing a loss.
So at what point do they have trouble getting polls done because trump has fired all the pollsters? (Of course then they’ll just lie to him about who’s doing the work and who’s been fired, the way that some publications used to keep a couple of nonce names on the masthead just so they could be fired if something went too far wrong)
Does the Kremlin require that the polling be "real’? Won’t they need real numbers so that they know what state election board computers to hack, and which Facebook accounts need salted with lies?
This could be a problem. Maybe they can have “real” polling for the Kremlin and “Trump” polling for everyone else.
