Britt Hume knows better, but apparently he just wants to play the stooge.

Gallup is one of the birds of the Deep State Mockingbird Media.

Owned by Warren Buffett who was a big Hillary backer.

I consider it my civic duty to lie to pollsters. I can’t be the only one.

The last poll at Fox did on this they over sampled democrats by about 12%.
The random samples that pollsters use aren’t really random in other words when they pick out people to call they profile them into different categories and they identify the republicans who are pro and con and the democrats that are pro con or neutral and then as they do additional polls they adjust the sample to make it more accurately but they call the people that they know have a predisposition one way or the other.

So later they will say they created a random poll of so many percent Republican so many percent democrats so many percent independents who they know will say this that or the other… which is their narrative that they are going to promote.

But the reality is the group that they have selected is a subgroup of their pre qualified Republican, Democrat and Independent voters that they can selectively call or contact to get the results that they want.

It’s not truly a random sample. Its demographocally normalized. Only the original sample group was random but as they have winnowed the list via tje demographic interview it’s no longer random... its prequalified.
this is how and why some people get call after call after call because they are on the list of predictable people. Those who are conservative in any group are quite frankly removed from the lists when a progressive narrative is desired..

Rasmussen has him at 50% approval today. Both those things cannot be true.

I would go so far as to say 52% of the population doesn’t even know this is happening

Yeah, that’s a big mistake to think they poll honestly. Jeez, have you not been hit in the head enough with all the fake news and fake poll lies that you still take them seriously. Have you already forgotten the polling from 2015 and 2016?

The internals on the web page say telephone poll of adults 18 or older. The phones 70% cellphones, 30% landline. Random dialed numbers. Long time since my college days but this is NOT a scientific poll. They need to study analysis of variance at Gallop.

I bet they asked do you support an impeachment investigation or something like that then twisted it like a pretzel to spin it

According to one site, Rasmussen polls likely voters and the other polls claim to give a picture of the wider public.

Probably, like in everything else, support for impeachment is over 40% and opposition to impeachment is over 40% with a gray area in the middle - anybody's guess.

Also it depends on how they ask the question and what people understand by "impeachment."

What's striking is that not many people are saying "I disapprove of him but don't think he should be impeached." That middle ground isn't very big.

I know, and I’m not picking on you personally. But consider: A company like Gallup puts out stuff like this every day, and it does influence public opinion. Yet therebis nothing to validate any of it, most people just accept that they are telling the straight unvarnished truth.

Just ponder the performance of the media over the past few years and ask why a polling company is any more trustworthy.

To have any credibility we must trust the polling company - a completely unregulated, unaccountable entity.
