I see that CNN has a poll out averring that the GOP in Congress has a nine-point lead over Pres. Biden as far as confidence in handling issues.
Folks, again. Take EVERY poll with a kilogram of salt. Every. Single. One. These polls are designed for one thing: to drive engagement. To make you panic and tune in or click. Don't fall for the okey-doke. Polling showed the GOP heading to a blowout last November. So, yeah.
Listen to music. Touch grass. Chill.
@LiberalLibrarian some of them emphasize the GOP candidate and downplays the democrat
@catlynne333 @LiberalLibrarian “some of them emphasize the GOP candidate”
They do that because some asshat thinks that FACTS are liberal, so must be manipulated to “clean them up” — if you did this in science you’d lose your job.
If someone is manipulating the numbers (looking at you Rassmussen and Gallup), don’t trust shit they say.
@LiberalLibrarian And Romney was "more trusted" on the issues than Obama until he lost.
And even the CNN poll shows election denial is decisively unpopular, as Rs lean into it as their defining issue.
💙
@LiberalLibrarian Also, it should go without saying that if Rs had such an advantage they would have had a huge red wave in '22. Like CNN's pollsters and analysts said they would, before they didn't.
Months of "voters don't care about abortion or the Big Lie, they only care about inflation and only trust Rs to fix things!" Then voters came out and said "like fuck."
@LiberalLibrarian I don't understand where they're getting this poll info? Landline phones? People who still answer their phones? People who give people data free? Hahaha
@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine I mean, I get polling texts, and I just ignore them. And I don't answer calls from numbers I don't know.
@LiberalLibrarian @Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine
I’m suddenly getting slammed with political texts asking for contributions—Including Joe Biden. How are thrh getting my phone number?
@LiberalLibrarian right? And a lot of younger people can't afford news subscriptions. I'm thinking their polls are skewed way to the older age range.
i suspect the trump cult has been "polling" selected numbers to make their führer happy.
as for 🍊💩🤡, well what else can he say at this point? so he's instructing his minions to mail look like he's winning.
sounds like more bannon filling the airwaves with 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩🤡💩🤡💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩🤡🤡💩💩💩💩💩💩💩🤡🤡💩💩💩💩🤡🤡🤡💩🤡etm.
@LiberalLibrarian
Hard agree! 💯
Also every poll is someone who answers the phone when a stranger calls.
I’m 65 and I DON’T do that!
If it’s no one I know I send it to voicemail. Partner who is an MPH says this BIASES the sample (yup, still not answering).
So if you disagree with the poll AND habitually send unknowns to voicemail you now know THEY ARE NOT TALKING YO PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND ME!
Honestly, polls are so fucked because of technology I don’t know if they can ever fix them.
@LiberalLibrarian SO True they call me for their surveys and i hang up
