Yes, lets have every poll ruin their reputation for a few bucks in the 2016 cycle.
Ha, Donald Trump leads every poll so that is hardly ruining his reputation.

Nobody cares about reputation, remember the credit rating agencies? Reputation and honesty is for poor people.

It seems like the phone lists are very highly 'cleansed'

When you're filthy rich, reputation is something that one can easily live without. Doubt me on this? I'll refer you to Paris Hilton and just about every other modern celebrity. I'm sorry, I don't know to what extent the polls are being manipulated, but when you have a fair number of "evangelicals" supporting a guy who is a textbook serial monogamist, something is clearly amiss.

I really wouldn't be any too surprised. If he can, why not? The establishment can't hold or claim the monopoly on system corruption.
Why is it that people believe Donald Trump can buy off anything except polls?

alot of Democrats polling and primarying for Duhnald (?) so the more outrageous, the better for Hillary. Their plan seems to be working.
And at least Paris' policy wouldn't include genocide . . .

Well then if everyone does it, then what's really the problem? No reputation advantage nor disadvantage for doing it or not. <shrug>

Arent they the same pollsters that claimed to had predict Romney victory to?
Rabd was leading but I think Trump is mostly buying off the pollsters and gets away with it because he is Donald Trump.

He's probably buying the internet polls.
Specifically after the first debate when everyone thought he was a dead man, polls started rolling in with him in the lead. And he went around with a BULLHORN shouting those poll numbers from the mountain tops, changing the perception against him

For the last time, pollsters have no "reputation" until two weeks before an election. They are not "rated" for accuracy, rather they are hired guns, until then. It's how Ron polled barely 5% in Iowa until a couple weeks before the caucus, then suddenly he was poised to win and the Santorum surge was conjured up.

Trump made a very specific comment about Putin's popularity polling I think he even questioned their poll's authenticity too.

Considering how he responded to those remarks by Putin.... I bet you could ask/say to him; "Nice job you've done buying off the polls, only a great person like you could do something like that." Then the question comes, will he take the bait.
