Or the gov already has the polling data that they want to use, and passes it to the networks to report on....
its not that complicated,
And since google is THE search engine icon of the net, they would be included on that list....
Looks like to me someone just posted it before they were suppose to.......
Seems pretty damn simple to me

The mistake could be as simple as someone clicking 'Publish' instead of the button next to it marked 'Preview'.

Any responsible admin would not upload a test site to a live server...come on.

Well, as he never stood for election, it seems unlikely he said that....and there doesn't seem to be any reliable sources for it.

Oh right, but a "responsible admin" would publish the rigged results of an election before anyone has voted? Come on...
Of course he would upload a test site to a live server, that's the idea! You test it, then make it live. He should then make sure it's pointed at the live database, rather than the development one. The mistake is as simple as forgetting to change a connection string, or overwriting the existing one. Easily done, and easily corrected.

However, in the case of the GOP presidential candidate elections, who do you think is counting and deciding everything? And how would they fiddle the election results so that they also (broadly) agree with all the independent polls that are conducted? Do they somehow fix ALL of these as well?
