From the Washington Examiner: "NBC polling correction causing stir among Democrats". That may be a bit of an understatement. From the article:
Public Opinion Strategies, a polling firm used by NBC News in its latest poll, revealed a massive mistake in a survey released Sunday that appeared to show President Joe Biden ahead by 3 percentage points nationally.
Former President Donald Trump, not Biden, had been ahead by 3 points in a multicandidate race, according to a statement from the company. The company acknowledged its mistake Sunday night, well after many Democrats had seized the poll as an opportunity to buoy Biden.
Shame. Shame I wasn't there to see the tears.
ReplyDeleteIt did its job: it gave them a crucial headline when they needed it. Most voters are not going to pay attention to the correction.
