Are pollsters compromised by socialists or just incompetent?
The polling miss in the Wisconsin Democratic primary for governor follows the polling miss in the Michigan Democratic Senate race. This raises a question: Are polling outlets trying to put a thumb on the scale for socialist Democrats, or are they wildly incompetent?
TL;DR
- Recent polling misses occurred in the Wisconsin Democratic primary for governor and the Michigan Democratic Senate race.
- Socialist candidate Francesca Hong lost the Wisconsin primary to establishment candidate David Crowley by less than 1%.
- Hong had led polling averages since July, with double-digit leads since July 21.
- Crowley had dropped out and reentered the race, consistently trailing Hong in polls before her loss.
- The article questions whether pollsters are incompetent or intentionally biased towards socialist Democrats.
