This is borderline criminal. Accurate polling was suppressed because it didn't support the Democrat candidate. Never trust the lame stream media. You can't even trust Wikipedia.

John McIntyre couldn't believe it. The publisher of the Real Clear Polling National Average, America's first presidential poll aggregator, woke on October 31st to see his product denounced in the New York Times. Launched in 2002 and long a mainstay of campaign writers and news consumers alike, the RCP average, he learned, was part of a "torrent" of partisan rubbish being "weaponized" to "deflate Democrats' enthusiasm" and "undermine faith in the entire system."
"They actually wrote that our problem was we didn't weight results," says an incredulous McIntyre. "That we didn't put a thumb on the scale."
The Times ended its screed against RCP's "scarlet-dominated" electoral map projection by quoting John Anzalone, Joe Biden's former chief pollster, who said: "There's a ton of garbage polls out there." But being called "garbage" in America's paper of record was nothing compared to what happened to RCP at Wikipedia...
Every major aggregate, that is, but RCP. McIntyre's site was removed on October 11th, after Wikipedia editors decided it had a "strong Republican bias" that made it "suspect," even though it didn't conduct any polls itself, merely listing surveys and averaging them. One editor snootily insisted, "Pollsters should have a pretty spotless reputation. I say leave them out." After last week's election, when RCP for the third presidential cycle in a row proved among the most accurate of the averages, Wikipedia quietly restored RCP.
This is borderline criminal. Accurate polling was suppressed because it didn't support the Democrat candidate. Never trust the lame stream media. You can't even trust Wikipedia.
Trump will fix it.
