cheating is already factored into a poll with any academic rigor

polling is such a solved science that there is no art to it whatsoever

if you see a bad poll it is a bad poll on purpose

Except there is no science to “likely voter” screens. That’s all just guesses.

nah, it's based on if you vote in midterm elections, did you vote in the last x elections, how excited/likely/engaged are you to vote in november.

I'm not saying it works all the time, but it's wrong to call it guessing bc they do have models for likely voters.

like no one claims to actually know which demographics will turn out to vote in 2024, but pollsters produce polls that are premised on that.

A naive empirical model of voter turnout wouldn’t be able to account for things like Biden’s support for genocide suppressing voters in different demographics and we’ve had too few elections to build some robust model that would allow for such precise analysis.

you all should sign up for yougov.com surveys so more lefties are sampled.

I went there a couple months ago looking for some poll & saw they were soliciting so I signed up. I get emails a few times a week with links to surveys and most of them don't take a long time to complete (like the one I did today).

Some polls use a simple screen like that, but as survey response rates have become more biased they increasingly do have to reweigh for expected demographics. So they take that one likely voter’s answer and weight it up or down to match what they expect demographics in the 2024 election will be.

That’s how we got that goofy thing where Trump’s support among young Black men would ping pong based on if they called one guy or not that week in a longitudinal poll.

iirc it was actually something insanely specific like divorced black republican small business owners over 50

which was literally two guys in the longitudinal survey and the polls would bounce depending on which one they called that week

strangely enough extrapolating these results to black men in general or old men or small business owners or whatever other demo they needed presented the exact neck n neck horse race results the media wanted 🤔🤔🤔

the article is pretty good lol

what about Trump?, I asked Hammoud. How does he square support for someone who was widely seen as favorable to the Israeli government? “Biden is deeply committed to Zionism, a true believer, not acting on the whims of some lobby. That scares me a lot more,” Hammoud said. On this front, he says, he prefers someone like Trump. “Let’s assume my nonvote for Biden is a vote for Trump automatically. That indirect vote for Trump brings a guy into office who I don’t know what he will do. At the worst, he will be nasty toward us here, like he was in the past. And we can fight him within the law. I cannot fight Joe Biden when he stands with Israel,” he said.
Hell yeah! Go Robert Mueller and The Rule Of Law!
