(67,782 posts)To start with, the pollster admitted that the numbers were manipulated:
"This survey was conducted online within the United States between October 14-18, 2017 among 2,159
registered voters by The Harris Poll. The results reflect a nationally representative sample. Results
were weighted for age within gender, region, race/ethnicity, marital status, household size, income,
employment, political party, political affiliation, and education where necessary to align them with
their actual proportions in the population. Propensity score weighting was also used to adjust for
respondents propensity to be online."
Plus, of the hundreds of politicians in the House and Senate, and the thousands of other politicians in the country, that poll chose a very tiny sampling of "politicians", only thirteen, three of which have never even run for office!
Where's Cory Booker? Where's Kamala Harris? Where's Andrew Cuomo? Where's Kirsten Gillibrand? And where are dozens of other very popular and well-respected politicians?
Respectfully, that poll is unduly biased and skewed.
