Margin of Error: 100% — CNN’s Cornish Cites ‘One Republican’ to Question Trump Support
NewsBusters ^

Posted on 02/23/2026 2:34:37 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Give me a phone and a list of registered Democrats, and I’ll find you one who thinks Donald Trump's the greatest thing since sliced bread — and Gavin Newsom is the devil incarnate.

That’s essentially the level of polling rigor Audie Cornish brought to Tuesday’s edition of CNN This Morning.

Discussing issues ahead of the State of the Union address, Cornish said:

“We called up one of the people we polled, a Republican voter, Sean from New Mexico. He said: ‘I think people were expecting Trump to provide a bit of relief to their suffering. Grocery prices are just through the roof. Everything is so expensive.’

So this is even, like, a Republican voter.”

One Republican voter.

Out of tens of millions nationwide.

From that lone voice, viewers were invited to infer broader Republican discontent.

If your sample size is one, your confidence level is zero. Margin of error: 100%.

It’s not good journalism. But it’s the best they could do.

There were 23 House districts decided by <5% in 2024.

Surveys from anywhere else do not matter. None of those 23 were in New Mexico.

“””””Grocery prices are just through the roof””””

When that moron Bidet stole the election, I stocked up biggly. Still using a bunch of that now. My wife thought I bought to much till she tried to buy stuff 7 months after Bidet was installed as supreme leader.

Best investment I have ever made. I paid $1.79 for butter, and it is now over $4.00.

I just bought half a cow from a local farmer and it came to $4.09 a pound.

So not really feeling the pinch in food cost.

Eggs are back down to $2/doz and most groceries are down from Biden. Only beef and a few other items are still high.

Fertilizer is down a third which will lower food prices.

They try to create these narratives all the time.

Supposedly Republicans in Wisconsin were abandoning Scott Walker in droves over the right to work bills because his agenda was so “extreme”...well obviously, if that were true, he would have lost the recall in a landslide, as he was not going to be picking up support from the Left. Low and behold, he wins the recall with votes to spare. So obviously, that was garbage.

The purpose of the Main Stream Media is to keep the people ill-informed and manipulate them due to their ignorance.

I buy Eggland’s Best Large eggs by choice...18 count package. The brand is usually more. At my local grocery store during the end of Biden’s illegal term, they cost $12.99. They were always a few dollars less at Walmart. Last week when we bought them from Walmart, they were $5.72, which I’m willing to buy to get the brand I want.

At least ground beef dropped to $5.49 a pound near me. It was pushing $6.99.

Biden forced all the ranchers to sell their herds and now they have to rebuild. I grind my own which is not cheaper but better tasting.

I grind sausage for around 2.50 a lb and it is way better.
