2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumClinton's persistent honesty problem...yougov poll
Apart from Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump is the only leading candidate for 2016 who is seen as untrustworthy by most Americans
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is still the Democratic favorite for the presidency, and she has always received high marks for her toughness and readiness to be Commander-in-Chief. In the latest Economist/YouGov Poll more Americans say she is ready to be Commander-in-Chief than say that about any of six other contenders. There is also more trust in her ability to handle terrorism, although Americans have doubts about all the candidates (as well as about President Obama). But the latest Economist/YouGov Poll also highlights what has been Clintons greatest weakness the perception that she lacks honesty and integrity.
Compared with six other leading Democratic and Republican candidates for the presidency, only one other is seen as not honest and trustworthy by half of the public Republican businessman Donald Trump. And the candidate who fares best when it comes to perceived honesty and integrity among the public overall is Clintons main rival for the Democratic nomination, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders

If a story or in this case a poll is legit you will be able to find a credible source that covers it.
Sources matter.

You have just as much freedom of speech now as you did 3 minutes ago.
If you post RW sources, you're going to be called out on it. People who don't trust RW sources have just as much freedom of speech.

From Wiki;
During the United States presidential election, 2012 campaign, on the basis of one of the most extensive opinion polls ever conducted, YouGov predicted that Barack Obama would win the national vote by 2%.[18] This prediction proved to be one of the most accurate out of all pollsters covering the election
