As a reminder, Jeff Bezos, Amazon founder, purchased the WashPo a couple of years ago. He’s been a friend and donor of the Clintons for years. Trump claimed the recent polls showing he was much less popular as an incoming president than either Obama or Bush was rigged. He was correct.
The poll sample was 31 percent Democrats, 37 percent Independents and 23 percent Republicans.
Nationally, for 2016, the actual percentages were 34 percent Democrat, 33 percent Independent and 29 percent Republican.
The WashPo oversampled Democrats and under sampled Independents and Republicans. They did this on the pre-election polling, which was one reason they and so many others were surprised at Trump’s win.

CNN pulled the same trick.
