News orgs too often center political news on “lies, damn lies and polls” [h/t, “lies, damn lies and statistics”].
Poll questions shape answers. Poll sample size, composition shape reliability. This Biden/SCOTUS ABC-Ipsos poll flunks both.
(Yes, polls include statistics.)

Question,leading
Margin of Error, enormous: +/- 4.9%
The small sample size meant that ABC/Ipsos could not break out results for Black people. But “only 28%” of nonwhite Americans want Biden to “consider only Black women” for the SCOTUS. The MoA for that stat is even larger.

LMK if you can find an ABC/Ipsos poll from January 2017 asking if Trump should consider an Average White Man for the year-long SCOTUS vacancy.

At least one Republican seems to endorse one possible Biden pick, South Carolina federal District Judge J. Michelle Childs. But Lindsay Graham is as fickle as April winds.

In 2015, 10% of American college graduates thought that “Judge Judy” was a member of the SCOTUS (multiple guess). 🤦🏼♀️
2-in-5 didn’t know that Congress declares war, not the President.
Older Americans had a better grasp of civics.

ABC, LMK when 8-in-10 VOTERS (not just adults) can name just one SCOTUS justice. Maybe then I’ll care about their opinion.
Consistently, most Americans cannot name a sitting Supreme Court Justice or the Chief, even when nominations are news.
Perhaps Plato was right.
