Midterm election predictions could be way off again because Biden voters are too keen to answer pollsters' calls

Self-sure pollsters were considerably off the mark with their predictions concerning the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections. Some anticipate their predictions will soon be proven wrong again because much of the extant data is likely based on surveys of registered Republicans and Democrats, both similarly unrepresentative of vast swathes of the electorate.

Although pollsters may have been misled by Republican respondents misrepresentative of the tens of millions of Trump-friendly voters in past elections, this year, the New York Times indicated it may be the participation of overexuberant Biden Democrats, Biden Republicans, and Biden independents who have artificially pumped up Democrats' chances nationwide.

The Times reported that "Biden voters, regardless of their party, were probably likelier to respond than Trump voters," of which there were at least 73.5 million two years ago.

This trend didn't just raise the Democrat response rate, which it has. Democrats were 28% likelier to respond to the New York Times' Senate polls this year than were Republicans.

I never respond now day to poll requests, I just can't justify that it isn't some government folks looking to put me on one of their lists (and little good happens when put on government lists).

Biden voters are too keen??  :laughingdog:
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Jeez... Perhaps the "semi-fascist" don't like outing themselves to the likes of the New York Times... Or anyone else that calls uninvited...

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.
