They could've taken that poll in the most left-leaning areas. It is almost like 74 million voters don't exist.

The only thing I know is that nothing makes society more conservative than the fuck-ups of the liberals.

The ABC poll said 56% of Americans want Trump to be removed as president during the summer. Lol.

The sample size of their respondents under ideal conditions results in a 6% error rate. And here's the dirty secret: poll responses are so far down these companies are starting to use unscientific internet polls. In the 90s you would get a response once out of every 3 attempts. It's now once out of 10. That's why they could only reach ~600 people. And guess which population is far more likely to trust the media enough to answer? This is true even amongst Republicans. You're far more likely to get a never Trumper to answer.

Even 10 years ago it was far easier to get Republicans to respond to polls. Trust in media has never fallen below presidential approval averages until Trump.

I work in the domain of public health, and one of my mentors used to work for the federal United States government, at one point in biostatistics. He stated that these polls are easily manipulated. It is pathetic.

These main stream media companies are morally reprehensible to me. Ugh

This sample size is also really pathetic. For 99% confidence - which is the BARE minimum social scientists at a place like ABC should accept, polling American adults even under ideal conditions should be over 650. This has an effective margin of error of 6-7% even before factoring in sources of error.

Social scientists usually go with the 95% confidence level. With that, the poll has an error margin of around 4.4%. Still way too high, IF the sample was truly random. But of course it wasn't. BS poll as usual from BS people.

They want to try to convince RINOโ€™s that people want them to vote to convict. Itโ€™s a clearly fake poll.

Don't forget, all polling now has the huge D advantage because of the 80MM votes the D got.

Not only that;

508 is actually insufficient for a scalable sample of a population north of 100k

ABC poll is one of the least accurate in the history of polling. I honestly don't think they even poll. They just come up with whatever numbers they think will push their agenda.

โ€œAdultsโ€ isnโ€™t even registered voters or citizens. Same with any Biden approval poll. And thatโ€™s aside from any D screw. They were off by 12 with the ejection poll so add about 10 more to that.

I'm sure they carefully selected the people they polled in order to get the result they wanted but somehow got a lower result than they initially aimed for.

I believe the 117th congress should impeach Trump... for making America great again and for being the greatest president ever, just be honest and say why
