NiemanLab: The New York Times picks up the shuttered FiveThirtyEight’s poll tracking database. “When ABC shut down FiveThirtyEight early this month, the site’s publicly available polling databases — like a presidential approval rating tracker — shut down, too. … Luckily, the data has been saved: The New York Times is picking up where FiveThirtyEight left off…”

Americans Recoil at Trump/Musk Overreach

Turns Out, Americans Don’t Want Billionaires Running Our Nation

"To show you how much those paying attention aren’t happy, let me walk through some early #polls...

Bottom line: as you find yourself appalled, day after day, by what is happening, never let the #FarRight convince you that you are somehow in the minority.

Most #Americans agree with you.

...keep boldly speaking out"

The #ABC's idea of 'balance' is to have two people from the SAME POLLING COMPANY talking about the results of their anti-Labor push-polling.

Balance is when there's one person on each side of the presenter?

I always thought the poll question about whether the U.S. was on the wrong path was badly conceived because no matter where you are politically you would have different reasons for saying yes, therefore nearly everyone said yes and the pollsters were like "wow!" Duh. The Trumpers want a theocratic oligarchic autocracy and the U.S. isn't that (yet) so they say we're on the wrong path. The rest of us see the U.S. on the path toward that hellscape and so we say we're on the wrong path. Dumb question. #polls #media

And we got us another one.

Please, don't do a "the writer doesn't do the headline", thx.

"CNN Poll: Most Americans approve how Trump is handling his return to the White House"

if you check the questions and the responses, you see that for 6 out of 7 responses the "No real confidence" figure is greater than the "A lot of confidence" figure.

The magic happens in the "Some confidence" section.

You add that to "A lot of confidence", and bingo, MOST AMERICANS.

This was the 2016 presidential #election result of #Hillary vs #Trump. If we compare this to the current #polls of Harris vs Trump, we will see that Trump may have a very high chance to win. He is likely to take back Pennsylvania, Nevada and Georgia, and perhaps even Michigan. If he takes back either Pennsylvania or Michigan, he wins. The cause? Biden refused to stop running and his #Zionist view supporting #Israel's #genocide in #Gaza just destroyed the #DOJ completely. https://www.nytimes.com/elections/2016/results/president

Polls are just another version of “content” as spam.

What they say means little but they fill up the page and the screen to advertise against.

If you haven't noticed, the American press has fallen down at almost every turn in this election, repeatedly getting it wrong, and doing it wrong, and just not doing it. So why are we paying so much damned attention to their polls right now?'
