Polling Adults Is Not The Same As Polling Voters- Rassmussen Busts Drudge Style Election Reporting Over 50-50 Call
2 min readWho remembers when Drudge was sane? How he leans so far to the left that it hurts.
Look at the headline he ran with on Monday from Politico (which he had up for days for maximum effect):
“Dems’ dreaded deja vu: Another 50-50 Senate”
“Although the party eked out wins from its current even-split slog, it badly wants to pick up more seats — and has a shrinking list of chances,” Politico reported, adding:
“Democrats face a real and uncomfortable possibility after the midterms: two more years of a Senate divided 50-50. After slogging through — and extracting some significant victories from — the longest evenly split Senate in history, Democrats are pushing hard to expand their majority by netting seats in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. But as their list of potential pickups shrinks, they’re staring down a 2023 that may start with another 50-50 chamber: At the moment average polling forecasts exactly that, and POLITICO currently rates control of the chamber a toss-up.”
IT’S A TOSS-UP!
Control of the chamber- is toss-up? That is interesting, meaning, whatever happens, they were right. Right? Media reports started showing that all of a sudden, Democrats were making massive gains as if all of the problems the Democrats had caused over the past four months had been solved.
Can anyone say the price of gas is too high? Are groceries too high? People are unhappy about politics right now- and Democrats are in charge.
four months ago- CNN acknowledged that things looked good for Republicans. Ask yourself what changed all of a sudden.
Listen as CNN talks about the importance of Biden’s approval rating – to gauge how many seats he will lose.
Compare and Contrast with this recent comment by Rassmuessen polls:
Notice how the Democrat-leaning media is talking about the polls closing up the wide margin that had been developing- and see that Rasmussen, an expert at reading polls, notes that they are polling adults- not voters.
When the Democrats say all votes count- they don’t mean all legal votes count.. do they?
Ok. So, not Registered Voters. Not Likely Voters. Just Adults. https://t.co/RcZSz98fyl
