Opinion polls, particularly in the buildup to a presidential election, are not designed to reflect public opinion, but instead to shape it. For the media, objectivity is only of historic interest, a journalistic tenet from a bygone era. (snip) CNN commissioned a poll to support their lovefest over Biden’s spendfest speech.
Their headline on the day after Biden’s speech was “7 in 10 who watched say Biden’s speech left them feeling optimistic.”
Start with the bit about “who watched.” How many Americans gave up an hour of their evening to watch

Do not listen to the 24/7 news. Most is fake. The same for polls. I am very selective of what news I receive. I have given up ALL 24/7 news and have switched to web news cites that I can trust and READ. Most of the 24/7 news cites have an agenda and I'm not playing in it any longer.

The think about polls is that results can EASILY be skewed by several factors:
How the question is asked
The sampling size
Who is sampled
If you only ask one particular group of people, they will generally give you similar answers
Hard to believe 7 out of ten Americans would be optimistic unless you only ask demonrat socialists Marxists

Pulled plug on t.v. news nine years ago, and miss nothing, though had an overnight stay in hospital awhile back and was surprised at just how many advertisements there were for pharmaceuticals. So don't ever expect any critical reporting on that industry. Sadly, like all our institutions, the media is bought an paid for.

FTA: ''Let’s not just pick on CNN. CBS pushed its own gaslighting poll, carried out by YouGov.''
I've been taking YouGov polls for years and since the REAL President threw his hat into the ring in 2016, EVERY one of their polls were mainly about Trump and his policies and were worded to harm him. And now, since the Demented One was illegally installed...his name has NOT APPEARED IN A SINGLE POLL by YouGov.!!! Bias? Nahhhh.

The MSM fake news is only believed by the willfully ignorant, ignorant, apathetic, uninformed, and deranged radicals. It's true: Just look at their audience!

The media are working overtime to shove Biden down everyone’s throat. He was not elected. He was installed. Everyone knows this whether they admit it or not. There is a dwindling number of ignorant people still being influenced by these hacks. Their job is much harder now. It’s not easy to defend and promote a demented fool who is destroying the country as fast as he can.

I watched for about 5 minutes until this statement was made.
From President Joe Biden's Speech:
"That's the essence of America. That's democracy in action. Our Constitution opens with the words, "We the People". It's time we remembered that We the People are the government. You and I. Not some force in a distant capital."
Excuse me Mister President, you are the figurehead of that force in a far distant capital, and it is time that the cabal of elitist who control our government learn that "We the People" are sick and tired of their continual lust for power to the determent of our country, our Constitution and ourselves.
It is also long past time, that "We the People" reassert ourselves and remove this band of liars and thieves who are only interested in preserving their positions of power, and enriching themselves at our expense.
If we do not rise to this challenge and restore our Constitution and the Republic, our decent into Socialist tyranny will be our reward.

The entire lame stream media blitz over the past few years has been designed for one thing, control over the American people. I believe very little that is put out by the media and nothing that is put out by cnn. Since everything now is delivered by electronic media it's easy for them to control what is put out. We the People have to do our own research and make up our own minds.

Juan Williams refers to these polls, and the Republicans who supposedly side with the Dems, constantly on "The Five" and can be pretty outrageous. (He is like Baghdad Bob re: the "peaceful" demonstrations last Spring and Summer----and now). He is largely, finally, dealt with with laughter, which is the BEST way to deal with something so outrageous.
