DEM operatives citing the @CNN poll of "registered voters"—with a terrible track record of understating Republican support in the Midwest—exactly for the purpose you suspected.

It's so transparent and obvious, not sure who they think they're fooling anymore, save for themselves.
The Johnson +1 in Wisconsin was the tell. A Barnes +Anything would've been just too overt at this point.

This way, it's cover for the rest of them, and if and when he wins by 3-5 points, they'll just claim that the RV sample understated working class voters again.
In what looks suspiciously like a setup tweet right before CNN dropped, he's (laughably) arguing "GOP-aligned" polls are skewing averages.

Folks, the vast majority of polling firms in averages are not only leftist, but presented to you as non-partisan.
Because the industry is dominated by leftists, the averages are, as well. Nobody can seriously dispute that as a fact, because it is a fact.

Even re: the so-called "bi-partisan" media polls, such as the Fox Poll, a liberal Republican is the counterweight.
And... he blocked me.

See? I wonder why.

Actually, I don't. I know why. You know why. He knows why I blocked.

Caught red-handed. How pathetic.

If you are seriously arguing questions around the 2020 results are somehow worse than any other in the "modern era", then you're not a serious person or just full of shit.

There is nothing more dangerous than baseless claims that a POTUS committed treason with a foreign power.
There is also a VERY BIG difference between exploring challenges within a constitutional framework AND the extremely undemocratic attempt to pursue faithless electors in the Electoral College.

Truth be told...
Truth be told, what's new and so offensive about 2020 questions is that for once Republicans were the ones making accusations.

Democrats called the last three Republican presidential elections illegitimate, both Bush wins in 2000 and 2004, and Trump in 2016.

Cut the bullshit.

There are several big 2020 campaign points we need to revisit right now. Team @JoeBiden campaigned on and WH claims to have "re-united" the world against enemies, particularly Russia.

He also made the general case Trump destabilized the world via non-interventionism.

All false.
Truth be told, both India and China were far more cooperative under Donald Trump. India loved him.

@JoeBiden lost India, and both of them abstained at the United Nations over the referendum to annex Eastern Ukraine.

It's a total failure foreign policy failure.

...
In sum, our own aggression in support of a bandwagon power, among other mistakes, led to a great power coalition more than strong enough to balance against us.

All the progress Trump made to count India among our own coalition to balance China, was for nothing.

Nobody outside of a tiny minority of elitists and elitist wannabes support laws like the one in Vermont that say "students can play sports and use the locker room corresponding to their [identified] gender".

"I don’t want a biological man changing with me" is a normal sentiment.
[Blake] "Allen says that the dispute started when the trans student made an inappropriate comment while members of the volleyball team were getting changed."

She doesn't want a biological man watching her undress, so that's harassment and bullying.

REPs should run hard on this.
Every single day we hear Republicans bitch and moan about suburban women.

How about they start with advocating for their daughters who are being forced to change in locker rooms in front of biological males, and are being robbed from athletic opportunities and achievements?

The more that comes out over time, the more proud I am that we @BigDataPoll were not afraid to research this subject and deliver obviously accurate results to the public re: what we found.

I only regret we couldn't ask about specific conditions consistent w/ CDC classifications.
Reason being, the CDC didn't classify certain conditions as "mild", "moderate" or "severe" re: adverse effects.

Seriousness was determined by how those side effects interfered with daily activity, not by condition.

E.g. Ranging from mild that did NOT to severe that prevented.
Same goes for FDA literature we found at the time and to which we referred in the interest of being consistent with the nomenclature and discourse in public health.

The third paragraph makes a patently false statement.

"Since Donald Trump’s unexpected 2016 victory, pre-election polls have consistently understated support for Republican candidates, compared to the votes ultimately cast."

Polls in 2014 understated REP support, significantly.
Charles Franklin, the director of the Marquette Law School Poll, who is interviewed for the article despite blowing several consecutive elections, made a statement that shows he does not have a clue how to fix his polling errors.

That statements is as follows...
“The troubling part is how much of that is unique to when Donald Trump is on the ballot, versus midterms when he is not on the ballot.”

That statement tells me, as someone who hasn't blown elections, Charles Franklin, the director of the Marquette Law School Poll, is clueless.
