Inside the polling .....
Many polling outfits usually always over-sample older, right leaning white voters with landline phones, their MOE in those polls is high +/- 3.5-4.0, or they use a very small sampling of lets say 500-1,500 people, and those usually 'polled' are mentioned above. Few to no young cell phone users, few to no minorities polled--l think you get the picture. Its one big horse race narrative polling.
A friend whose done yougov polling for 11 years for pay, and while she won't tell me specifically about what she's polled about she said that in the political polling yougov groups Dems/GQP together as in how do you rank Congress performance in doing its job, and she told me that the option puts the blame equally on Dems/GQP. Its the Putin party who are lazy, obstructing, who want to derail commonsense legislation--not Dems. My friend told me that she tells them constantly at the end of the political survey's to please stop grouping the two parties together, and to make polling judging each political party separately on congressional/senate performance. She told me that while they 'occasionally' separate job performance between D's & GQP, they still do to much 'group blame' on why things aren't getting done in the senate/congress politically. Not saying that Dems shouldn't GOTV, phone bank, help register voters, sharpen their messaging, and a ton of other things to help Pres. Biden to SAVE our democracy, but I'm fucking sick of FAKE mostly corporate polling still asking/pushing the "ls Biden too old" shit, when shitty pants tRumputin is sweating, slurring, smelling like shit, glitching, rapist, racist lying, losing his train of thought, is still in what mind he has left running vs Pres. Obama during his embossing kkklan rallies.
And there's this 👇🏻👇🏻
538 drops Rasmussen Reports from its analysis
The poll aggregation and evaluation site 538, part of ABC News, dropped the right-wing polling firm Rasmussen Reports from inclusion in its polling averages and forecasts.
The decision comes after months of consideration that broke into public view in June. At that point, G. Elliott Morris, ABC News’s editorial director of data analytics and 538 lead, presented Rasmussen with questions meant to evaluate its objectivity and methodology. Rasmussen published the letter on its website, triggering backlash against 538 in right-wing media — and by Nate Silver, the founder of what was then called FiveThirtyEight. No change was implemented.
