Polling shows 62% of Americans think Putin wouldn’t have invaded Ukraine if Trump were still in office. But it’s a gibberish result. It includes Trump fans AND those of us who understand Putin wouldn’t have had to do this if his puppet Trump were still in office. Ignore the poll.
For this poll to have told us anything useful, it would have needed to be worded such that the two very opposite groups above could have been separated from each other. Any pollster familiar with the US political landscape would know that.
For instance, if I were surveyed in this poll, I would have been among the 62% who said Putin would not be invading Ukraine if Trump were still in power – because Putin would still be occupying the U.S. and wouldn’t need to risk trying to invade Ukraine.
To those replying and saying “well then 62% of Americans are morons” – I would urge you to go back and read this thread again. You misread it and thus missed the ENTIRE point.
To those replying and saying “this poll can’t be accurate because only a small number of people were polled” – no, that’s never a factor. With the right methodology, polling can be VERY accurate even with a tiny sample size. You also missed the entire point of the thread.
If a poll asked a more germane question such as “Was Trump Putin’s puppet” or “Did Trump sabotage Ukraine for Putin’s benefit,” you’d likely get a large majority of Americans saying “yes.” Now that would a useful poll.
