Every time a new 2024 poll is released — the ones that have consistently shown former President Donald Trump performing well against President Joe Biden — high-profile Democrats will, seemingly in unison, list everything that is wrong with the state of polling.
“I think there should be humility, especially with turnout and the election,” Rep. Ro Khanna, a prominent Biden surrogate, told NOTUS. “That whole polling profession needs humility in how accurate these things are.”
The criticisms range from picking apart the published methodology to dismissing poll results as nothing more than a collection of responses from people so old or weird that they still have landline phones — and still answer them when strangers call.
