Donald Trump doubled down on his claim that mainstream media polls are rigged against him by oversampling Democrats, this time equipped with a new WikiLeaks email from John Podesta that he says proves it.



"In an e-mail, Podesta says he wants oversamples for our polling in order to maximize what we get out of our media polling. It's called voter suppression," Trump said. "They're polling Democrats!"



Trump laid into the mass media, saying: "Here's how all of this affects you: When the people who control the political power in our society can rig investigations like [Clinton's email] investigation was rigged, can rig polls -- you see these phony polls-- and rig the media, they can wield absolute power over your life, your economy and your country. And benefit big time by it."



"They control what you hear, what you don't hear, how it's covered and even if it's covered at all," he said.





DONALD TRUMP: I've been saying it for a long time. The system is rigged.



Wikileaks also shows how John Podesta rigged the polls by oversampling Democrats: A voter suppression technique.



That's happening to me all the time. When the polls are even, when they leave them alone and do them properly, I'm leading. But you see these polls where they're polling Democrats. 'How is Trump doing? Oh, he's down.' They're polling Democrats!



The system is corrupt, rigged and broken. And we're going to change it. Thank you, thank you.



In an e-mail, Podesta says he wants oversamples for our polling in order to maximize what we get out of our media polling. It's called voter suppression, because people will say, 'oh, gee, Trump's down.'



We're winning. Folks, we're winning. We're winning.



These thieves and crook, the media, yeah not all of it, not all of it, but much of it -- they're the most crooked -- they're almost as crooked as Hillary.



They may even be more crooked than Hillary, because without the media, she would be nothing. Without the media, Hillary Clinton would be nothing. They're disgraceful. Just remember that. Without the dishonesty and deceit of the media, Hillary Clinton would be nothing, nothing.



Here's how all of this affects you: When the people who control the political power in our society can rig investigations like her investigation was rigged, can rig polls -- you see these phoney polls, and rig the media, they can wield absolute power over your life, your economy and your country. And benefit big time by it.



They control what you hear, what you don't hear, how it's covered and even if it's covered at all. Sometimes I'll have these great events and it won't be covered. If there's a little glitch, it's front page news all over the world.
