The latest New York Times poll is so messed up it took Stephen Colbert all day to trash it.
Colbert said:
For example, this weekend, The New York Times published a poll that showed Trump ahead of Biden by 5% among registered voters.
Well, now I'm less worried about the candidates and more worried about the mental capacity of the voters. Someone should give us a cognitive test. But don't panic. Because the methodology is so bad, it prompted one member of the punditocracy to observe: “There's something wrong with the New York Times.”

Yes, there's something wrong with the New York Times and it's called The Connection. So, “turncoat” and “windsock” are words ending in clothing, but “suit” is not? My streak should be at 25 and you'll hear from my lawyers, you bastards!
But another thing. But another thing. That New York Times survey is messed up. It found that Trump won the female vote by 1%, while Biden led women by 11 points in 2020. Somehow I doubt Trump won back more than 12% of women with his empowering message, “I am a rapist.”
This poll is so bad that it says 12% of Democrats support Dean Phillips, which led Dean Phillips to actually tweet: “When the NYT/Siena poll shows me at 12%, you better believe that.” This is flawed. “Only 5% know who I am.” That…that's so sad. He believes that 5% of people know who he is.

The most recent NYT ballot was stuffed with purple flags, which I lately mentioned in our publication, The Each day.
Colbert was proper.
It’s unattainable to see how Trump may win by stripping ladies voters of the appropriate to manage their our bodies whereas pursuing his platform of rape and defamation.
The truth that The New York Occasions revealed such a flawed survey reveals that the aim of the survey was to not give or get info, however to create information somewhat than report it.
The New York Occasions ballot is so unhealthy that even late-night comedians are making enjoyable of it.
