RUSH: It is stunning how identical the polls of today are to exactly four years ago in 2016.<\/p>\n

Now, folks, you and I know that there\u2019s nothing in the, quote, unquote, news today that\u2019s true. For example, there was nothing true about the Russian meddling or the collusion story. And as the president pointed out last night, the media awarded itself Pulitzer Prizes for that story, and not a word of it for two years was true. Mueller knew the day that he took the job that there was no evidence, that there was no collusion. He could have announced that right off the bat. Instead he waited two years.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nWhy? Because he\u2019s a thug. He is not Mr. Honor and Mr. Integrity. And he was part of the cabal that was instrumental in running this silent coup, which is still in operation. The coup to get rid of Donald Trump even before the election this year is still underway. So if nothing in the media is true, if they are lying, why would the polling data that they produce be any different? Why should we put aside everything we know about how they are making it up, not telling us the truth, leaving out the truth, whatever, and then all of a sudden they give a poll and we automatically believe it?<\/p>\n

Why? What\u2019s the sense in that? Have you ever seen so many polls be so consistent? Every poll, every poll says Biden is ahead of Trump by 12 points. Biden is ahead of nobody. Biden does not have a base, other than the Democrat Party. Biden doesn\u2019t have any voter enthusiasm. This is all about Trump. We could start a new feature on this program, “This day in polling history” segment on one of the polls we\u2019re saying about the presidential race in 2016.<\/p>\n

Well, let\u2019s do it. Washington Post\/ABC poll. June 26th, 2016. Exactly four years ago. This headline: “Clinton Opens 12-Point Lead on Trump as Two-Thirds See Him as Biased — Hillary Clinton surged to a broad advantage against Donald Trump,” blah, blah, blah, blah. The article is by the pollster Gary Langer. Here\u2019s how it starts.<\/p>\n

“The new poll shows Hillary Clinton 12-point lead the poll showed Clinton with a 51 to 39% lead over Trump among registered voters. Hillary surged to a broad advantage against Trump in the latest ABC News\/Washington Post poll capitalizing on Trump\u2019s recent campaign missteps. Two-thirds of Americans see him as biased against groups like women, minorities, or Muslims, and a new high, 64%, call him unqualified to serve.”<\/p>\n

Why, folks, that\u2019s four years ago. That\u2019s not this week. That\u2019s four years ago. The Economist. Here another example, deja vu all over again. “The Economist magazine claims as of Wednesday evening that Biden has an 87% chance of winning. Trump has only a 13% chance.” In fact, the Economist stated that it believed Biden has a 98% chance of winning the most states in November, estimated that Biden could win as many as 412 electoral votes, which would be an historic landslide.”<\/p>\n

A couple of weeks before the election, 2016, October 18th, 2016, New York Times predicted Hillary Clinton had a 91% chance of beating Trump. Doesn\u2019t matter, folks, whatever poll you look at, you can find today that has Trump trailing Biden by 12 points. You can find a poll four years ago that\u2019s gonna show you the same thing. Just change the names. And they all turned out to be wrong. Not a single one of them was right.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And yet I can\u2019t tell you, I have so many people, “Rush, you gotta get to Trump, you gotta get him to change. Look at these polls.” The polls are lying to you. Why do you believe this? What\u2019s frustrating to me is not Trump. It is otherwise educated, informed, engaged people who know this stuff is made up, but they simply just can\u2019t get past it.<\/p>\n

Folks, we are in new territory here. We are living through and have been for going on four years now a verified silent coup. The political landscape is of a silent coup that has not stopped, it has not abated. That is the territory, that is the overall picture that we are facing here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
