4:45Now PlayingDonald Trump has no idea what he is talking about. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Two weeks away from the Nov. 8 election, Donald Trump is behind in the polls.
According to him, it’s because the Hillary Clinton campaign tampered with them.
"Wikileaks also shows how (Clinton campaign chairman) John Podesta rigged the polls by oversampling Democrats, a voter suppression technique," Trump said at a Oct. 24 rally in St. Augustine, Fla. "And that’s happening to me all the time. When the polls are even, when they leave them alone and do them properly, I’m leading. But you see these polls, where they’re polling Democrats -- ‘how’s Trump doing’ ‘oh he’s down’ -- they’re polling Democrats!"
We were curious about Trump’s charge of bogus polling.
Trump is wrong that Wikileaks shows Podesta rigging the polls against him. He’s referring to an email obtained by the hacker group from Clinton’s 2008 (not 2016) campaign on what appears to be internal polling (not public ones published by media organizations). And oversampling in this instance means polling more people in a specific demographic group for analysis -- not ignoring Republican voters to suppress their votes."
