Thank you very much and God bless you.

From the horses mouth.

Waiting for the: "inb4!!! The Pools are real, denier!!"

The first couple of sentences:

Wedgewood Public Polling Statement: Wedgewood Polling, an experimental project to demonstrate the vulnerabilities, lack of oversight, and overall low barrier to entry in the modern political polling industry, makes this public statement.

SNIP

Despite having no history, formal credentials, or real data behind the vast majority of our releases, Wedgewood Polling was added to major polling aggregators, including The New York Times, FiftyPlusOne, and VoteHub, and repeatedly treated as a legitimate source.

Poster's note: all of their polls had Democrats up by percentages...

Wedgwood is lying, the report exposing them was due out the next day, the reporter called and ask for a statement on the report, within hours they published this lie about intentionally faking the polls as an experiment.
They had massively over represented democrats and socialists in their polls.

knocking door to door I would take “Polls”. I would ask exactly the same question with different words. I would get vastly inconsistent results. Abortion was by far the area where the same person would be on all sides of the issue, depending on how the question was worded.

Even more important was the context. I would ask 2 or 3 questions before the “money” question. Those 2 or 3 early questions would set the context and greatly impact the answer to the 4th question.

The same is true in voting. Most people “lean” one way or the other. But results vary greatly, depending on the circumstances. That is why a good ground game is so important. You reach the voter outside the filters of TV and internet.

Oh, AND they took money for those results, that is called fraud, knowingly taking money for false data, which they have just admitted they did intentionally.

Same result. Either way they were totally illegitimate, Socialists, and completely adopted by major news agencies without the slightest attempt to check their legitimacy.

Is it possible to do that when you're f-cking yourself?
