Fox News host Melissa Francis admitted that she doesn’t trust her own networks polling.
As a matter of fact, she doesn’t trust any of the polling that shows Biden ahead by double-digits.
And why should she?

This is exactly what the media did in 2016 – it’s like “Groundhog Day,” yet the left is still acting as if polling is now a stalworth snapshot of how the American people feel.
Yet, they’re using the same exact methodology as they did in 2016.
Francis even said that when she’s called by pollsters, she lies to them.
“Any pollster who calls me—I do not tell the truth,” Francis said while adding that she doesn’t “trust any polling at all.”

Fox News host Melissa Francis admitted on Thursday that she doesn’t trust her own network’s polling—conducted by a group considered among the industry’s most trustworthy pollsters—while also claiming on-air that she deliberately misleads pollsters when they call her.
With President Donald Trump trailing former Vice President Joe Biden by double digits in many national and battleground state polls, a narrative has formed that there are so-called “secret Trump voters” who don’t feel comfortable expressing their support for the president. A recent Monmouth poll in Pennsylvania, which finds Biden up by 13 points, shows that a majority of voters in the state believe a secret Trump vote exists.
“The media consistently reports that Biden is in the lead, but voters remember what happened in 2016. The specter of a secret Trump vote looms large in 2020,” Monmouth pollster Patrick Murray wrote upon the poll’s release.
During a Thursday afternoon Fox News discussion on Brad Parscale’s demotion as Trump campaign manager, Francis expressed her distrust of political polling by citing her own experience with deceiving pollsters.
After fellow Fox host Lisa “Kennedy” Montgomery said the 2016 polls were “completely wrong” and that current polls are using that same methodology, Francis noted that she is “familiar” with the polls because she has been polled twice recently.

Wait, are Fox News hosts now claiming they openly lie to pollsters to help push the narrative that all the polls are wrong?

I have never been polled about Trump. Not once, and I am a staunch registered voter who votes in literally every election big or small.
Have you been polled? Let us know in the comments below or on social media.
