Even the New York Post admits Fox News polls are garbage (and owned by the same company)

The New York Post and Fox News are owned by the same company, which makes this dis by the New York Post that much more funny. The New York Post admitted, that the Fox News polling on impeachment inquiry is complete and utter BS. The poll had a Democrat sample of 48% and an oversample of +8 for Democrats. Fox News and their weasels like Bret Baier tried to defend this by claiming they used the same sample size for a poll on impeachments months ago when poll numbers were smaller. As if that’s any defense. Seems as if Paul Munster Ryan is working his magic since being hired by Fox News.

Even the New York Post admits Fox News polls are garbage (and owned by the same company)

The New York Post released an analysis Saturday, which found Fox News had “mispresented” their poll, suggesting a majority of Americans supported impeachment of President Donald Trump.
Fox News released a poll this week which found that 51 percent of registered voters want President Trump impeached and removed from office, while 4 percent want Trump impeached but want him to stay in office, and 40 percent of voters oppose impeachment. The Fox News poll found that supposedly showed a double-digit increase in the number of voters who wanted Trump impeached and removed from office.

However, according to a New York Post analysis, Fox News misrepresented Americans’ alleged support for impeachment.

Braun Research, the pollster firm that conducted the survey, noted that 48 percent of its respondents were Democrats; however, the Post revealed that the “actual breakdown” based on party affiliation is 31 percent Democrat, 29 percent Republican, and 38 percent independent.

The Post noted that, when weighting the poll for party affiliation, would have revealed that only 44.9 percent of Americans, or less than a majority, back impeachment of President Trump. Forty-four percent of Americans oppose impeachment, according to the Post‘s analysis.
