A new Nevada poll finds Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton tied at 45%.
However, it is worth noting that the pollster (TargetPoint) has Michael Meyers as President. Woh is Michael Meyers? See this. See this.
“As President of TargetPoint, Michael helps guide the company and maintains a broad range of political and corporate clients. Michael’s past political clients include several presidential campaigns including, most recently, Mitt Romney; Senators Portman, Burr, and Toomey; Governors Corbett, Deal, and Christie; key congressional campaigns including, most recently, Kristi Noem; and ballot campaigns such as the Clean Affordable Renewable Energy initiative in Michigan and Citizens Protecting Michigan’s Constitution. While at TargetPoint, Michael has also worked with a number of corporate and association clients including Wal-Mart, AT&T, Magnolia Pictures / 2929 Entertainment and a number of energy related clients such as DTE / Detroit Edison and the American Petroleum Institute.
In 2002, Michael was the executive director of the Michigan Republican Party. During his tenure, Republicans maintained a majority in the State Senate, increased their majority in the State House, retained the Secretary of State’s office, preserved a conservative majority on the Supreme Court, and, for the first time in forty years, Michigan voters elected a Republican Attorney General.
Prior to his work at the Michigan Republican Party, Michael worked as the director of former Michigan Lieutenant Governor Dick Posthumus’s political action committee. He also served in a number of roles in the Michigan Legislature including chief of staff to the Chairman of Technology and Energy Committee and as finance director of the Senate Republican Campaign Committee. Michael’s work on Presidential campaigns began in 1996 as a field representative for the Dole-Kemp campaign.”
The outlet that commissioned the poll is a conservaive entity as well (Washington Free Beacon).
Republicans such as the RNC chief Reince Priebus and Karl Rove have made it clear though their Twitter accounts and Super PACS that they want Bernie Sanders to defeat Hillary Clinton in the Democratic Primaries. www.bloomberg.com/...
I contacted the Huffington Post asking them to place a (R) next to TargetPoint, or not list this poll at all.
