The same information can be presented in different ways to create or bolster different narratives. A Quinnipiac poll came out this morning and much of the establishment media presented it like this:
Biden Viewed Most Favorably of Top Democrats• Joe Biden at 53% to 33%• Bernie Sanders at 44% to 42%• Elizabeth Warren at 30% to 37%• Michael Bloomberg at 22% to 32%• Hillary Clinton at 32% to 61%
There's nothing dishonest about those numbers. Except they don't much matter in a primary. Let's look at a different way of looking at the polling data. This is how Democrats-- you know, the ones who can vote in the primaries-- view the candidates (this is favorability/unfavorability:
• Biden- 84%-7% (8% haven't heard enough)• Bernie- 74%-13% (10% haven't heard enough)• Hillary-70%-23% (6% haven't heard enough)• Beto- 45%- 4% (51% haven't heard enough)• Kamala- 41%-4% (54% haven't heard enough)• Elizabeth Warren- 60%-12% (28% haven't heard enough)• Cory Booker- 46%-5% (48% haven't heard enough)• Michael Bloomberg- 36%- 19% (44% haven't heard enough)• Gillibrand- 28%-7% (64% haven't heard enough)• Sherrod Brown- 24%-2% (73% haven't heard enough)
So what's the takeaway? Democrats don't know enough about the candidates to make up their minds. OK, May I suggest watching this video from a former Wall Street banker? If you pay attention to what she has to say, you won't need to know anything more before you vote:Who's going to take care of this problem for real? Biden? LOL! Gillibrand? LOL! Booker? LOL. Bloomberg? LOL! Beto? LOL! Sherrod Brown? ROTFLMAO! How about someone else?
