“polls that confirm my own preferences. All the others are enemy psyops.”
Well said. Properly run polls can be invaluable to candidates seeking info on how to package their message.
I have conducted polls where I ask the same question of government policy in several different ways. On foreign policy, on life/abortion, on taxes and economic freedom I can get widely different results based on how the question is worded....and very importantly how the 2 or 3 questions prior to the “REAL” question set up the context for the real question.
A current example: GA R candidate for Senate Collins talks about “cost”. D Ossoff talks about “price”. In the context of their ads they are the same thing. But the D ad is communicates with the voter much more than the Republican ad due to the choice of this one word.
Interesting. I can see the Dims pay much more attention to the words they use and the names things are called.
