I smell BS in the air
Yougov is now a “partner” of HuffPost.
Used to be a great insightful polling organization, now it’s just agitprop for the Dems.
I don’t know about the rest, but I don’t think Ted Cruz “focus groups” or polls too much before taking a stand.
Where was YOUGOV on predicting the November midterms? 5-6pts wrong like everybody else except the Des Moines Register? What accurate polls can they brag about, if any?
And I guarantee you 85% of said folks polled have not a clue what’s in the letter.
Ted Cruz doesn’t seem like the type of guy who would wet his finger and stick it in the air to see which way the political winds are blowing.
RINO’s would do just that, however.
I imagine you could frame the poll to get the answer you wanted.
I call BS.
And surrender to the Iranian mullahs is better???
I think it was in general a good idea but addressing it to Iran was just setting themselves up for being targets,
And Dems made good use of it.
The same letter addressed to Obama and posted in newspapers and websites would have been just as useful and not given DEms the same opening to accuse GOP of siding with Iranian ‘hardliners’.
I smell it and see it ;)
Polls are designed to sway opinion.
Back in the day when everybody had a land line, polls were directed to certain office codes (neighborhoods) known to be enclaves of certain ethnic groups (Irish, German, Blacks), making the results go the way the politicions wanted.
Today the polls are directed toward online neighborhoods with the population needed to get the wanted results. Polls originating from CNN and other liberal news source will get a far different result than a poll on FOX, as examples.
Obvious, but not so obvious to the low information crowd.
A plurality of Americans don’t even know the three branches of government or what their roles are.
Sheeeeyit. What's the breakdown by category of how many know what the word "appropriate" means?
who cares? this is a stupid internet poll.
42%
That is just about the plurality of Low Information voters that will elect the next President.
Just watching the MSM, the GOPe and the Democrats, my best guess is the next President will be the Democrat that promises to govern somewhere left of Obama.
.
Yeah, right. How many thought it was “appropriate” for Pelosi to put on a muslim babushka and go talk to Assad?
When liberals have an unpopular opinion (say, gay marriage), they claim the law supercedes popular opinion and they do everything in their power to take away the right of the people to affect law.
But when conservatives point out an indisputable legal fact (that the Senate must approve treaties), liberals do everything in their power to gin up opposition to conservatives. Then they cite popular opinion as proof that the law is illegitimate.
