Maybe you shouldn't use links that are behind pay walls, then people who won't pay to read a story can get the full context and not have to rely on media reports.
Both were before he announced.
.
And here we see a classic moving of the goalposts, kids.
From "a year before Trump announced" to "before he announced".
Let me know if you need any more help with math.
Too bad you weren't capable enough to provide full context form the beginning, Of course you seem to be making a habit of that. Most people are still talking like this happened during the campaign because you didn't make the timing clear. So this time it was you putting out misinformation by not providing the full context.

I provided a link right there in my OP.
It states quite clearly Cohen contacted the Falwell CIO in 2014 and that the rigged polling was done in 2015 as part of the preparation for Trump's announcement.
I find it very strange your moral compass points at a calendar.
I just don't bother with irrelevant shit like you. The first poll was about prominent business people, not politicians, the second about perspective candidates, not actual candidates. Tons of similar polls are being done right now, none are really relevant.

It's not irrelevant, as I pointed out that there are credulous rubes out there who fall for these hoaxes. I provided direct evidence of same.
And you say you don't care about public opinion being manipulated.
It has been clear for a very long time the Rube Herd is being manipulated. I can't remember how many times I have said the pseuedocon propagandists absolutely depend on the submissiveness, ignorance, stupidity, and credulity of the Rube Herd.
Here in this topic, we see all of you lining up to acknowledge you don't care.
Wow.
No wonder they are able to get all of you to drink the Kool-Aid so easily. You BEG to be lied to!
