Okay, so how many people do you think were surveyed to prepare this sizzling turgid article headline?
10,000? 50,000? More? Less? 5,000?
The answer is: .00006% of registered voters who have a telephone and answer their telephone for people they don’t know.
Just those last two parts should make you wonder who they’re really polling and what the likely outcome is obviously going to be.
Interestingly, this is the same percentage as voter fraud experts imagine there actually exists in a given election. Or, one person per state every six or seven years.
That’s relevant because this is a kind of “voter fraud” where voters are “informed” of a scary thing by “numbers” from “polls” but it’s really a thousand old people who want to spend 15 minutes on the phone with a telemarketer about their political views. How much did that cost the conservative PAC that funded it? Eh, $30k? For a headline in a respectable paper like the Gruandia? That’s money well spent in an election year.
