In his newsletter, of 05 November, MICHAEL PODHORZER, says:
Don’t panic about new horse race polling: Americans know the difference between answering a survey and casting a ballot, even if the media doesn't.
He talks about the alarm being spread by the mainstream media’s reporting that Donald Trump leads President Biden in key battleground states and casts some shade, questioning the credibility:
…the Times reports that support for Trump among “non-white, under 45” voters increased from 29 percent to 42 percent. I’m pretty sure if there were actually another nearly 3 million such Trump supporters, we’d see evidence of it beyond this survey.
In other words, the mainstream media doesn’t show sufficient scientific skepticism of their own koolade, I mean reporting.
How does he explain these poll numbers?
As I explained in April in “Don’t Panic About Biden’s Approval Ratings,” for three-quarters of the last 20 years, presidential approval has been underwater. When people take polls, they consistently vent their frustrations with their choices. But when they cast their ballots, they’ve shown themselves to be better aware of the consequences of choosing MAGA – which is why MAGA has lost 27 of the last 32 races in those six [battleground] states.
