Has The Media Failed By Reporting Polls?

Today on Greta Wire:

- Veteran pollster John McLaughlin explains why polling remains an inexact science shaped by methodology, sample selection and changing technology.

- McLaughlin analyzes the Michigan poll that predicts an Abdul El-Sayed landslide before he wins by only one point.

- He revisits the Iowa survey showing Kamala Harris ahead shortly before Donald Trump wins the state by more than 13 points.

- McLaughlin reveals how polling adults instead of likely voters can produce deeply misleading election headlines.

- John urges reporters to examine a poll’s sponsor, sample, timing and exact wording before repeating its results.
