    Trump’s in the lead — but these polls are junk
    By John Podhoretz
    August 18, 2015 | 8:10pm

    “The problem is that 52 percent of those surveyed by CNN said they’re going to vote in the GOP primaries. That’s insane. The overall electorate is about 225 million. In 2012, 20 million voted in the GOP primaries. That’s 10 percent, not 52 percent.

    “A few days earlier, CNN did a poll of Iowa voters showing Trump in the lead — and even more outrageously, the poll’s findings suggested that 62 percent of Iowa’s population would attend the January caucuses. Oh? In 2012, a whopping 2.5 percent of Iowa’s adult population turned out. CNN’s poll is literally off by a factor of 25.”
