And it’s a little disingenuous to get a Republican mouthpiece to interview a Republican pollster about the election 9 months away! Talk about low quality partisan polling! I would never believe ANYTHING his North Star Opinion Research would publish. Just hack partisan for-hire propaganda!
And I’m disappointed in The Bulwark for giving such obvious spin a platform here! Ayers is precisely the sort of low quality pollster that Jay Kuo so carefully eviscerated with The Big Picture a few weeks back:
What a great insight into the dubious value of political polling in this day and age. Imagine devoting so much time and attention to the opinions reflected by the 0.4% of people who respond to these polling efforts. And as stated, that is down 75% from the response rate in 2018!
Just a few minutes ago I saw MSNBC lending credence to this same poll. One might ask why. I can speculate that it’s good for corporate media as clickbait and maybe even a way to stimulate more spending on political advertising.
As I have said before, and will continue to say, the only poll that counts is the one in the election booth on election day. All the rest is fluff and flack designed to give media talking heads something to talk about. This does NOT include the Bulwark, since they have lots of other topics that matter without needing to resort to "this poll says this, this one says that, boy are we in trouble (or doing well or better)".
