Has The Media Failed By Reporting Polls?
Today on Greta Wire:
- Veteran pollster John McLaughlin explains why polling remains an inexact science shaped by methodology, sample selection and changing technology.
- McLaughlin analyzes the Michigan poll that predicts an Abdul El-Sayed landslide before he wins by only one point.
- He revisits the Iowa survey showing Kamala Harris ahead shortly before Donald Trump wins the state by more than 13 points.
- McLaughlin reveals how polling adults instead of likely voters can produce deeply misleading election headlines.
- John urges reporters to examine a poll’s sponsor, sample, timing and exact wording before repeating its results.
