TownHall: Someone is going to be eating a lot of crow regarding the polls. Of course, you know I think they’re off—way off. You know the drill by now. College-educated voters, Democrats, and Trump-hating suburban Republicans are all being oversampled. The Trump vote, as always, is being undercounted. Registered voter polls are still being used. It’s a mess. If Biden was up by the amount the fake news press has been peddling for the past month, Biden could just sit in a basement. We know the usual suspects when it comes to polling, and now Fox News is no exception.
Why?
Well, as it so happens, the polling division is petty much run by Democrats. Trump communications director Tim Murtagh took no prisoners in delivering his thoughts about the network’s polling operation during an interview with host Harris Faulkner. more here
I have to admit that the two or three pollsters that I answered and participated with over the last year, I stated that I was an 18-24, woman, voting for biden…… Don’t ask me why. Perhaps I am a “shy” Trump supporter.
We’ll know how accurate the polls have been, one way or the other, in short order.
And the excuses and explanations will be coming from either the pollsters if they turn out wrong or from those claiming they were wrong after they turn out right.
I don’t know which it will be, but it should be interesting reading or listening as the case may be.
Fox is barely “Fair & Balanced” anymore so why would their polls be?
My my my, that was very satisfying to watch. Despite his introductory compliment to her, Faulkner looked rather uncomfortable listening to his message – just like she did when Newt talked about the Soros bought DA’s.
As far as my tastes are concerned, the only thing Fox News has going for it is Tucker. (I’m not a Hannity fan; he may be conservative, but he’s a conservative asshole.)
Figures lie and liars figure.
Another reason I watch OANN. That and the short segments suit my short attention span. And their news babes are hot. Now I forgot my other reasons.
I contend that pollsters seldom conduct polls outside the shade of their five star hotels
I’ve taken the Reagan approach for all news outlets (trust, but verify) even with my go to site like Breitbart and Daily wire, it’s just too common to apply one’s own personal spin on events, spin that is misguided or unwarranted.
My level of angst today is off the charts, for obvious reasons. I’m going to spend most of the day outdoors, mid to high 70’s where I live, away from the sturm and drang of the early prognostications.
He didn’t even have to drop the George Soros truth bomb on her.
Do they really believe skewing poll numbers is going to go any better this time than it did with Hitlery?
MSM is going to report a Peepads win right up to when he concedes.
Be nice to Hannity, poor guy trains 8 days a week in martial arts.

Most that I knew that trained in those disciplines didn’t talk about it much.
Crackerybaby: I know why you did it . . . because no self-respecting citizen would give valid info to the enemy.
So Paul Ryan is still in charge of Fox News Polling?
Fox still has a few good people with shows but I now find that I can’t listen to its radio news as the pro Biden bias
has grown clearer as the election approached. Now, when I listen to talk radio I turn it of for the “news” and back on after.

I am a retired business consultant. If somebody wants my opinion about something, I get paid for it. On the three occasions I’ve been contacted by one of these organizations who want their base data for nothing, I make sure to be as misleading as possible.
It seems fair to me that their product should be worth what they paid for it.
