13275479, After the inauguration polling I don’t trust a SINGLE republican poll
Posted by MEAT, Thu Jul-19-18 05:30 PM
I can’t find the article. But immediately after the inagutation there was a survey with people to ask about the crowd size. When it came to Republicans, even when shown comparitove pictures they went with the Trump one. They just simply lied, they knew their marching orders and they just said what they were, own credibility be damned. I’ve never let that go. Like they’re just fucking liars and will say whatever needs to be said to support their “team”

But what's even more noteworthy is that 15 percent of people who voted for Trump told us that more people were in the image on the left — the photo from Trump's inauguration — than the picture on the right. We got that answer from only 2 percent of Clinton voters and 3 percent of nonvoters.

Even when the photographic evidence was directly in front of them and the question was straightforward, one in seven Trump supporters gave the clearly false answer.
