54% of Americans are about to find out that their insurance companies will no longer cover their Hopium prescriptions.
I’m skeptical given he didn’t even get 50% of the vote
Where is the survey data? The article link just points to more articles editorializing.
If they just asked 1000 people willing to answer a survey from an unknown caller that’s not exactly the heartbeat of a nation.
That’s generally what happens when you win the popular vote.
It’s helpful to remember that news reporting on anything involving numbers is usually relying heavily on hyperbolic horse shit.
Here is the “source data” (LOL) for this: https://pos.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/FI14730D-CNBC-AAES-Q4.pdf
There are some key points that really matter here:
- What method was used to select the “1002 adults nationwide”? This is not described. Was it people with landlines that skew heavily older and conservative? Was it an even mix of blue and red states? IOW, was it even really random? I could not find this information anywhere.
- This polling was conducted by an outfit named “Public Opinion Strategies” (appropriately, POS). Since we apparently can’t know what sampling method was used (please! correct me if I’m wrong), we can maybe derive something from the either the organization doing the polling or the data itself. 2a: The data shows a slight shift to identifying as Republican (42/39). Anecdotally we can maybe surmise that people who say they are “strictly independent” may lean right-wing. Other demographic info suggests a slight bias toward older and less educated. 2b: In 2024 POS has been heavily used by Republicans. You can find this data on Open Secrets. Basically every single entity that gave them money that I looked up is Republican.
So, tl;dr until any poll can tell me their methodology and confirm that their sampling is truly random I’m just going to laugh at the “conclusions” made by the media.
Where did they hide that link? It’s not in the article or the link the article points to when referencing the survey. Not surprising they want to hide it considering how speculative they are in their extrapolations.
54% of 1000 ppl. Majority of 300+ million. Yeah this seems totally legit and not bait.
