2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumFox and Friends: This new smartphone app proves that polls are wrong and Trump is winning
With Republican presidential nominee Donald Trumps poll numbers in free-fall, some on the right are having trouble coping with reality. On Tuesday morning, the crew at Fox and Friends turned to an anonymous smartphone app called Zip for reassurance about the outcome of the 2016 presidential race.
According to Media Matters, Zips founders would have you believe that the real reason former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is winning in the polls is because people are showing a reverse Bradley effect, not answering pollsters honestly because they dont want to be judged for supporting Trump. Zips anonymous question and answer format, they said, allows people to show their Trump support without the stigma.
Co-host Steve Doocy said, Hillary Clinton tops Donald Trump in the latest national polls,but if you ask voters anonymously who they like, the results are a lot different. And evidence of that can be found through an app called Zip, the question and answer app.
Doocy asked Zips creator Alanna Markey, OK, so your results are a lot different than the what we see of the RealClearPolitics average
Alanna, explain why the answer your results are so much different than the polls weve been seeing.

(1,438 posts)that someone will be dishonest with a phone or personal pollster for privacy concerns, but they would download an app on their mobile device and spill their guts?
I'm not buying it, for this and a host of other reasons.

So then if you are down in the polls, you must truly be up.
Oh my head hurts

(30,481 posts)Look at what they did on CNN with the debates and Facebook polls. They knew the outcome beforehand and that a group of low information viewers would latch onto them. It was flat out embarrassing. It creates division and they know it. That division is their goal. Emotionally invested people will spend more time watching.
