… I have right here the most accurate and inaccurate list of polls in the last election. There worst polls were Quinnipiac, CNN, L.A. Times, Washington Post, ABC, and Monmouth, and the New York Times.

The most accurate: Atlas Intel, Trafalgar, InsiderAdvantage, and Harrison, and Rasmussen.

These mean nothing! Not unless polling is done asking folks
if they plan to cheat or abide the rule of law. SUSPICIONS
abound.

We retain a landline for home business purposes. I’ll bet we get at least a half-dozen or more calls per day from the RNC and assorted other political/polling firms. We have never once answered any of those calls.

I suspect most people don’t answer unknown calls or known political calls.

2020 is not a year I’d use for reference.

Fox should be on the list of worst polls. They are terrible because they almost always overstate Dem support.

[Swirl]

Jesse, I would add Fox polls as some of the worse as well.

[Drew68]

With barely anyone using landlines or answering unknown calls, I say ALL polls are bad

I get tons of polling to my cell phone both in calls and text messages. I don't answer any of them.

Nathan Coen, the lead polling reporter for The New York Times complains that it takes two hours of calling to get a single completed response.

I have the same situation. I connected my landline to a fax machine. When they call me they get a digital earful!

He covered that by saying independent pollsters, not FoxNews, if you click the link

[nwrep]

Jesse Waters left out Fox News as one of the worst.

Throw in the fear some conservatives have of being targeted by Homeland and FBI thugs as being 'MAGA MAGA - ULTRA MAGA ... lots of people won't talk to strangers fearing the Gestapo and future midnight knocks. Biden's pushed the idea that half the American people are 'the enemy'. He's such a bully - same with his goons. Worst President Ever... Also there's the fear of having our cars keyed if we have bumper stickers for our party and candidates.

Add Baris’ Big Data Poll to the accurate list. Add 538 to the inaccurate list.

[ConservativeInPA]

Correct

[catnipman]

gosh, wonder why jesse failed to mention FNC in the list of the most inaccurate polls ...

Polls cannot compete with the Dominion machines alogirythym.

Fox call AZ yet?

[surrey]

Last night Hannity had on the guy from Trafalgar. I believe his name is Kahaley(sp)
He pretty much said that Kari Lake is a shoo in. This morning Fox has the race too close to call.

[faucetman]

ALL POLLS ARE BULLSHIRT!

NONE, I said NONE are scientific or reliable.

Even if they say what you want to hear or end up being correct (blind squirrel/stopped clock).

These are not the polls you are looking for.

[Libloather]

I’ve got a poll - how many folks don’t pay attention to polls?
