The latest New York Times poll is so confusing that Stephen Colbert did some field research and completely destroyed it.
Colbert said:
For example, the New York Times released a poll over the weekend that showed Mr. Trump leading Mr. Biden by 5 percentage points among registered voters.
Well, I now worry less about candidates and more about the mental capacity of voters. Someone should give us a cognitive test. But don't panic. This methodological divergence has led one commentator to observe that there is something wrong with the New York Times.

Yes, there's something wrong with the New York Times, and it's called connections. So „turncoat“ and „streamer“ are words that end in clothing, but „litigation“ doesn't? My streak should be 25 and you'll get a call from my lawyer, you bastard!
But another thing. But another thing. The New York Times poll is a huge failure.Found playing cards In 2020, when Biden won the female vote by 11 points, he won 1% of the female vote. Somehow, I don't believe President Trump won back more than 12% of women with his powerful „I'm a rapist“ message.
This poll is so far off that it says 12% of Democrats support Dean Phillips, who actually tweeted: Only 5% even know who I am. ” That’s… very sad. He thinks 5% of people know about him.

There were a lot of red flags in the latest New York Times poll, which we recently covered in our newsletter. The Daily.
Colbert was right.
It is impossible to understand how President Trump could win the support of women voters by taking away their right to control their own bodies while running a platform of rape and defamation.
The fact that the New York Times published such a flawed poll shows that the purpose of the poll was not to inform or gain insight, but to make news rather than report. Suggests.
The New York Times poll is so bad that even late-night comedians make fun of it.
