Say hello to 'Longroom- Unbiased' the 'Unskewed Polls' site for 2016. A link to an article about this site has thousands of upvotes and hundreds of comments now on Reddit r/the_Donald.  Once the polls are 'unbiased' it turns out Trump is actually ahead by 0.9%!

CNN had a segment today with just Trump surrogates and when the subject of polling came up, the unskewing came into full force, but this website didn't get a mention.

But the surrogates were playing all the hits..
- It's just a DNC bump
- Trump supporters are more motivated, those saying they will vote for Hillary won't show up
- Too many Dems and minorities are being polled
- The media is biased and therefore their polls are biased

They even had a new one which was mind-blowing, Clinton is doing better because she has higher name ID? And then, there was the spin that even after Trump's horrible week (which of course was all due to biased media), Clinton was still not ahead by double digits, so again Trump will snap back in no time.

The latest counterfactual working its way around, is that Trump is really winning and the proof is that he has more followers on Twitter. Conservative media are pointing to insightful analysis by the site 'truthdivision'...

Newt sort of waded into unskewing territory today

Hannity has moved past the denial unskewing phase and right into the anger stage. For the last two nights he has been attacking the 'NeverTrumper's and blaming them for handing Hillary the election.

It appears that for the most part the right aren't embracing unskewing like they did in 2012.  Right now the only post on The Donald on Reddit about polling is pointing to an online poll with Trump winning on the fake NBC website 'nbcpolls.com'...apparently some think it is a real NBC poll
