In reply to the discussion: CBS News/YouGov poll: many voters are clueless [View all]TwilightZone
(28,836 posts)43. They were wrong because partisan polls flooded the market.
This was a known issue at the time. It got tons of coverage on DU.
You could have actually read the article, but hey, why bother? Your predetermined conclusions might take a hit, and we can't have that.
When Rosenberg stripped out the partisan polling, he foresaw an election in which New Hampshire, Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania were leaning Democrat, Nevada was too close to call, and Ohio, North Carolina, and Wisconsin were leaning a little Republican. Thats consistent with what actually transpired.
Take out the partisan poll flood, and polling was consistent with the results.

If Biden's approval improves by five-points between now and election day, he wins every state he won in 2020 + NC.

The polls weren't all wrong. The partisan polls were wrong, and media interpretations were wrong.

Wonder how long it will take to get someone credible to debunk this dogshit poll? The shit never stops.

A question that should be on every poll: Where do you get your information?

Yet another poll that doesn't ask about Trump raping a woman, or his moral fitness
