The original poster, Reddit user “bostonfan148,” received a message from the moderators that his post had been taken down for having an improper title. (RELATED: Reddit Bans Users, Deletes Comments Saying Orlando Shooter Was Muslim)

However, user “Mysecondaccoubnt_2” noticed that the original post’s title — “Trump 47-Clinton 42” — did in fact match the topline of the JMC poll included in the corresponding link.
