[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can go back about 30 pages where I posted that the aggregate polling data was polluted with crappy GOP polling. The likes of CNN bought it and tried to sell it, but all it did was further energize the left, except in places where voter suppression and gerrymandering were successful (ie FL and WI)[/quote]

+1 “In reality, an aggregation of nonpartisan polls predicted the correct winner in every Senate battleground and would have predicted the margin substantially more accurately than the partisan GOP pollsters which flooded the averages in almost every major race.

These Republican firms, such as the Trafalgar Group, overstated Republican strength by roughly 3 points more than the non-partisan polls. Trafalgar, for instance, showed the GOP with a closing advantage in New Hampshire, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona. In states that saw Democratic blowouts, such as Washington and Colorado, they (incorrectly) showed tight races within the margin of error. In nearly every case, they look to have missed the mark substantially.”

What is a partisan poll?  Wouldn't that have a biased result be definitions?  Why would those have any value to anyone?  Who pays for that?[/quote]

Political campaigns and dark money PACs pay for the partisan polls. There’s been a massive proliferation of GOP aligned polling outlets in the last 3 years.

The poll aggregators shouldn’t even bother including partisan pollsters in the future. [/quote]
