Wedgewood Polls has admitted to being a FAKE polling company that had its fabricated polling numbers posted in the @nytimes. Founder and Head Pollster at The Honest Polling Company, @honestpollster, tells @DeeDeeNews that this instance was just an unfortunate outlier. "What he did was he acted as an anonymous pollster, made this stuff up, and eventually he got caught, but not before some of the aggregators who vetted him, but he lied in my opinion."
