Random Thought of the Day

Pay attention to the details of polls cited by the media. There are many reasons polls can’t be trusted, but the composition of voters may be the most important. Even if they fairly sample republicans, democrats, and independents (which is rare), the poll numbers compared to actual votes are closer as you move to the right:

All Adults -> Registered Voters -> “Likely” Voters
13+ points off -> 8-12 points off -> 0-4 points off
Favorable to Democrats -> Favorable to Republicans

Guess which poll groups the media like to cite when discussing Trump approval?
