That’s the title over at The Daily Wire. I think it holds very true:
“A leading independent pollster said Saturday that polls might seriously undercount Republican voters in the current political climate.
In a Twitter thread, Trafalgar Group chief pollster Robert C. Cahaly said that President Joe Biden’s recent attacks on so-called “MAGA Republicans” will make polling supporters of former President Donald Trump even harder to poll than in previous years. Cahaly pointed out that in the last two presidential election cycles, name-calling and threats from prominent Democrats contributed to the phenomenon of the “shy Trump voter.” But as the 2022 midterms have begun in earnest, Biden’s escalating rhetoric against Trump supporters, accusing them of embracing “semi-fascism” and being a threat to America, will make these voters even harder to reach in polling.
Deplorable? Irredeemable? And now it is domestic terrorist, extremist, out of the mainstream. You know, the same shop-worn tactic by the Left (re: National School Board, Joe Biden, Citizens for Belknap, other Democrats); the words MAY change, but the intent is to make Republicans undesirable to the general electorate.
For years I participated in every poll that came in – even to the point of engaging with some of the poll takers (and some were willing to “talk beyond the questions). This cycle?
A nice “no thank you” and a click. I don’t want to waste my time or take polls that have been structured to be deceptive (yes, I’ve taken enough of them to know) to show results that don’t reflect the electorate.
Sorry, but they’ve brought this situation upon themselves. And I REALLY hate the robocall ones that give you no chance to “bug off!”.
