Are Polls Deliberately Falsified or Just Not Accurate

Recent polls that, by and large, are being reported as accurate and reliable are actually skewed in favor of certain candidates at the expense of others.

Follow this link to the original source: "Audio Poll Done by IMC Polling (Independent Media Center of New Hampshire)"

The link above is to an audio poll conducted by IMC Polling — Independent Media Center of New Hampshire. The computer generated recording asks you if the primary were in your area today, which Republican candidate would you vote for, and it was followed by instructions to press "1" for McCain, "2" for Giuliani, "3" for Fred Thompson, "4" for Mitt Romney, "5" for Mike Huckabee, "6” for "other or none of the above," and "7" to have your name taken off the call list. That was it. No more options. Other similar polls are being used in other states as well.

Two people who received the phone poll today responded differently: one pressed "7," and was thanked by an automated voice assuring them that they will not be called again. The other pressed "6" and also was thanked by an automated voice telling them they would be removed from the list.

If you take the time to visit IMCs website, in the far left column you will see Ron Paul listed along with all the other candidates, allowing you to vote for Ron Paul or any of the other candidates on their website. You can also view the results which are very enlightening. As this was written (Dec. 6), Ron Paul was leading by an astounding margin. He had 84.2 percent, with Dennis Kucinich next at 6.6 percent, followed by Barack Obama at 2.1 percent. Even with the blackout in the phone poll, Ron Paul is wiping the floor with the rest of them.

In the interest of fairness, in order for any poll to be accurate and credible no candidate can be excluded. It is very intriguing, therefore, to see Ron Paul leading such polls even when the phone component of the poll ignores him completely. The mainstream media have made much of this, complaining that Ron Paul supporters are "hacking the polls." If the media were interested in reporting the real story, they would note that the fact Ron Paul seems always to win by a landslide in these polls is likely indicative of the organizational strength of his campaign — a measure that traditionally has been used to judge the viability of a candidate. In light of this, perhaps it is time for the media to start considering Paul one of the frontrunners.
