WBUR also summarized the difference between the polls cited by the station and those cited by Trump’s tweets, writing:
‘To give the simplest possible rule of thumb, a poll that makes no attempt to control who participates should not be viewed as representative. It’s for entertainment. Read it, enjoy it, share it, but don’t mistake it for the type of poll that seeks to accurately represent public opinion.’
And that “mistaking” is exactly what Trump pushed on his followers and tried to make fly with the general public through his tweets.
Of course, Trump has an excellent reason to push the shady polls, since winners of debates often, if not always, enjoy a bounce in poll numbers shortly thereafter.
Clinton already has seen such a bounce, with New York Magazine writing that Clinton was up over Trump by four percent in the first post debate poll.
