Progressive Francesca Hong was seen as a front-runner in the primary to be the Democratic nominee for Wisconsin governor, but went on to lose.
Median Strategies, which billed itself as a trustworthy, non-partisan polling company, projected that Ms Hong had a more than 20-point lead over moderate David Crowley.
However, on Aug 11, she narrowly lost to Mr Crowley, handing establishment Democrats a win following a wave of victories by Left-wing candidates.
Median Strategies has now admitted the polling data were faked and part of a “short-term social experiment”, following a report by The Los Angeles Times.
Like 2016 and 2024, these are meant to convince people to stay home because their team ‘has it in the bag’. Dont be stupid again.
So a right-wing arm of a polling scam to poison public opinion? Seems like it should be illegal.
Polls don’t vote. People do. Let’s get it done, people.
Polling can have a significant effect on voter turnout. When polls show a race is very close, turnout increases; when polls show a decisive lead, turnout is suppressed. In this case Hong lost by about it 4,000 votes or 0.5%.
Yes. So go out and vote is what you are saying, right? Like I said, people vote, not polls!
They doing that shi* on purpose to get people to not show up cuz they think it’s in the bag.
