That is excellent news, and I hope the trend keeps growing. Polls have long been used to influence elections. The sooner people stop having strong belief in the infallibility of polls, the better. This is also a good weapon against vote fraud--if the polls are inaccurate, the Democrats will not know how many votes to manufacture to guarantee a win.
Democrats arent ready to prescribe remedies yet, but officials at the national party committees are sending strong signals that they plan to hold pollsters to a higher standard in the upcoming midterm elections.
I would humbly suggest that the Democrats start caring about the country and doing those things that best preserve freedom. And stop devising policies meant to trap people in unending poverty. I know that the Dems have conditioned poor people to vote for them and will happily keep them entrapped in slums forever--but dang, that is so inhumane.
Rep. Ben Ray Luján of New Mexico, who is chairing the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee for the second consecutive election cycle, ruffled feathers last month when he suggested that unreliable pollsters will not be invited back to the DCCC.
This, in a nutshell, encapsulates the arrogant attitude of this article, and, indeed, of liberal (i.e. mainstream) media. The Democrats do *not* have a right to our votes. If we do not choose to vote Democrat, it is *not* an aberration against the natural order of things. But to listen to the liberal media, one would think that the only way to vote is Democrat, and that no real person would ever vote otherwise. Hence, in liberal land, those not voting Democrat are outsiders not worthy of being considered human.
Yesterday was first voting day to fill the GA seat vacated by Tom Price.
Local Democrats could not find a qualified candidate. So Nancy Pelosi’s faction chose Congressional staffer Ossoff who didn’t live in the district. Pelosi is spending big, both on Polling, TV, and ground game.
Ossoff is polling 40%-44%, impressive in a field of 18.
Dan Moody, candidate of the governor and establishment Republicans is spending the most of any Republican, is on TV almost as much as Ossoff, and has only 2%-5% in 5th or 6th place behind other Republicans who are spending little.
Trump carried this 6th District in a squeaker. But Tom Price carried it with 60%.
How accurate are the polls? Each media source reports a different number for each candidate from exactly the same March 22-23 Fox poll. So not only are the polls in question. But the media reporting on those polls is in question.
There was no serious attempt to convince some Republicans to drop out. Thus the vote of many Republican factions is split.
