Steve Kornacki is having a sad about his polls [View all] deminks Sep 2023 OP

Modern polls suck. LakeArenal Sep 2023 #1

It's not the polls It's the media companies that need clickbait that headline them uponit7771 Sep 2023 #42

Kornacki is as addicted to "conventional wisdom" as the rest of them. Maybe if they are put back hlthe2b Sep 2023 #2

Amen. Like the conventional wisdom for a red wave in 2022 deminks Sep 2023 #22

Kornacki doesn't have a clue about conventional wisdom unless paid. LiberalFighter Sep 2023 #35

Yep. Never liked him. Goddessartist Sep 2023 #3

That is the problem with National Polls for the Presidential Election. JohnSJ Sep 2023 #4

+1, National polls are worthless in and of themselves it's battleground states that matter uponit7771 Sep 2023 #44

Yes, along with turnout, and independent/undecided JohnSJ Sep 2023 #47

Garbage in, garbage out. The polls are mostly meaningless right now. yardwork Sep 2023 #5

The only people who need care are campaigns Sympthsical Sep 2023 #9

Exactly. And I'm certain those politicians' pollsters use complex sampling methodologies. yardwork Sep 2023 #34

To be fair Sympthsical Sep 2023 #39

"Doesn't predict the election" and "meaningless" are not the same thing Silent3 Sep 2023 #25

If the data is skewed, the results are unreliable, i.e., meaningless. yardwork Sep 2023 #33

A lot of people complain, however because they confuse "don't like what I'm hearing"... Silent3 Sep 2023 #37

National polls are bullshit seeing we don't elect by popular vote and battleground uponit7771 Sep 2023 #45

That's still sticking your head in the sand about the reality of public sentiment Silent3 Sep 2023 #46

Absolutely. A lot of people won't get serious about the election until after Labor Day 2024 emulatorloo Sep 2023 #28

If "people won't get serious about the election until after Labor Day 2024" that doesn't mean the poll is bad Silent3 Sep 2023 #38

If they don't spend their time talking about polls, they might have to report real stories.Hard work Walleye Sep 2023 #6

You nailed it. Doing real reporting requires getting out of the chair and gathering data. erronis Sep 2023 #19

Reliance on polls has just gotten way out of hand Walleye Sep 2023 #30

People are so pressed about this man Sympthsical Sep 2023 #7

It's not unusual for polls to have both a GOP & Dem pollster. MyNameIsJonas Sep 2023 #8

Kornacki IS sketchy. Polls are sketchy... dchill Sep 2023 #13

All of the polls are saying the same tihing, a dead heat betwen Trump and Biden. everyonematters Sep 2023 #10

In the midterms they overestimated the Republican vote. Sky Jewels Sep 2023 #21

Any poll that shows Biden tied with Trump IMO ALBliberal Sep 2023 #11

If this is how Steve Kornacki rolls ... not checking his sources before broadcasting sketchy polls ... FakeNoose Sep 2023 #16

600 is too low IbogaProject Sep 2023 #17

not too low Recycle_Guru Sep 2023 #20

+ - 3 % is meaning less with how narrow the electorate is IbogaProject Sep 2023 #26

so you agree national polls are inexact at best. State level polls are more helpful Recycle_Guru Sep 2023 #31

aww!! horse race media whore got caught and don't like it! Recycle_Guru Sep 2023 #18
