Their headline this morning is that trump and Harris are now tied in the popular vote poll. With Trunp picking up 6 pts from their last poll.
Obviously disappointed with this no way to get around it death knell kind of news given the fact Biden was up 10 at this point in 2020….here are the gymnastics they used to objectively state “great news for Harris, now abortion is the number one issue for voters”. Ready? Here’s the poll question.
“Is there one issue you feel so strongly about that you will vote for or against a candidate solely on that issue?”
Abortion was number one. Forget the fact that the way this question was asked, it avoids the relevant question of what issues are most important to the electorate. Makes you have to pick one single issue rather than ranking several. And generally feeds into a left leaning voter probably unanimously picking this one by default. If for example economy and immigration were your top issues but equally important, you couldn’t pick either. If you are a democrat concerned about the economy, this question forces you to pick abortion.
Why not just ask what issue is most important, like literally every other poll where the economy is number one and immigration two?
Could it possibly be that NbC crafted the question to get a desired outcome?
So freaking dishonest.
