Poll: 53.7% of U.S. voters want Fauci to stay despite Biden’s unpopularity

A poll released Monday finds that more than half of U.S. voters want Dr. Anthony Fauci to keep leading the government’s COVID-19 response, despite President Biden’s continued low approval ratings.

The survey by the Trafalgar Group found that 53.7% of respondents from all political affiliations said they do not believe Dr. Fauci should “resign his position and role,” while 46.3% want him to go.

Pollster Robert Cahaly said the findings reflect the complexity of an electorate that still trusts Dr. Fauci more than Mr. Biden, whose average job approval rating in a FiveThirtyEight average of polls stood at 42.2% on Monday.

from the article: About 39.3% of respondents in the new Trafalgar poll identified as Democrats, 35.6% as Republicans and 25.1% as independents. The margin of error was plus or minus 2.99 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.

The firm distributes its survey questionnaires using a mixed methodology of live callers, integrated voice response, text messages, emails and two other proprietary digital methods that it doesn’t share publicly...

So, #1, you can see skewed in favor of Democrats.#2. Margin error of nearly 3%. That means that it could be 3 points higher or lower. Add 3 points to the Republicans and subtract 3 from the Dems, and you have equal amts of Repubs wanting him to go and equal amt of dems wanting him to stay (despite being skewed in favor of Dems). Also notice in their methodology it says “likely election voters”, not registered. Likely (which incl all the illegals allowed to vote.). also, the survey sample is 1,081 people. Extremely small sample size. And 35.6% of them = 385 people. Hardly representative of what Republican voters think, or Independents think (at 25% of 1,081). So just more gaslighting from the polls and media. They never expect you to analyze their methodology (which in this case is very sloppy).
