Hillary Clinton trailing in a national poll sparked MSNBC’s creation of an alternate reality
A recent national poll showing Donald Trump leading Clinton was “adjusted” by MSNBC to reflect the electorate from 2012. The skewed poll, which appeared Tuesday during “Meet the Press,” effectively put the Democratic presidential nominee ahead of her GOP rival.

I think @chucktodd just unskewed the CNN poll to match 2012 exits, which, if I’m interpreting right, is a bad idea

Clinton can rest easy knowing the folks at MSNBC always have her back.
One poll shows Trump is ahead by 2 points and MSNBC immediately jumps to unskewing. Good lord. https://t.co/qzouOUGrLN

@EsotericCD @Pretefunkera Compared to 2012, it’s possible that more blue collar whites vote for Trump and less blacks vote for Hillary.

@Heminator @EsotericCD @Pretefunkera Adjusted for 1860s metrics, I hear Abraham Lincoln could win.

@EsotericCD @Pretefunkera The adjusted results using the 1824 electorate show them both trailing John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson.
