In reply to the discussion: That Big Poll Showing Trump and Biden Are Evenly Matched? Trump Helped Pay for It. [View all]4lbs
(7,395 posts)show you the questions asked to get to these results.
They simply report the results, without the questions or context given.
For example, 75% of voters think Biden is too old.
Ok, so how were the questions posed to get these results?
Were they something like:
"If Biden's challenger is younger than him, do you think 80 is too old to be President?"
"If Trump is the challenger, at 77 years of age, is Biden too old at 80 to be President?"
They may report only on those that answered yes to the first question, without asking WHY.
They will likely ignore all the NOs on the second part, because it doesn't fit their narrative.
Then they will try to say something like "Nearly all voters say they want somebody younger"
when that was not asked.
Well, that isn't going to happen anyway, so effing deal with it.
