How To Cook Up Fishy Survey Results
“There is something wrong at the NY Times… their recent poll showed glaring contradictions and straight-up bias.”
“The poll found Trump winning the female vote by one percent, when Biden carried women in 2020 by eleven points. The Times wants you to ignore that in between, all three of Trump’s Supreme Court justices quarterbacked the Dobbs decision overturning women’s constitutional right to abortion, followed almost immediately by states banning abortion all over the country, many with no exceptions for rape or incest.” – LUCIAN K. TRUSCOTT IV in Salon.

NY Times poll: Flawed and biased
Many findings of the poll that are simply not credible. – Robert Hubbell
- The poll shows Trump with a 1-point advantage with women, even though Biden won women by 11% points in 2020—which was before the Dobbs decision. So, dear NYTimes what explains a 12%-point increase in Trump’s support among women after the Dobbs decision? There is no credible explanation.
- The Times’s poll shows that Trump is retaining nearly everyone who voted for him in 2020, despite the fact that he has repeatedly lost 30 to 40% of the vote in Republican primaries. Exit polling of those voters shows that 43% of voters who supported Nikki Haley will vote for Biden! Again, the Times poll is simply not credible and contradicts recent actual results in multiple primaries!
- Twelve percent (12%) of the Democratic respondents in the poll support Dean Phillips—when he has routinely finished with 2% of the vote in primaries. Again, not credible.
- The poll shows Biden winning among independents (4% points) and voters who dislike both Trump and Biden (12 percentage points) and still losing to Trump? Defies belief.
- The poll shows that millennials favor Trump by a 13% higher margin than baby boomers. Has anyone at the Times met a millennial? Or a baby boomer? Again, not credible.
