Nov 2019

your beef seems to be that the polls were released in a staggered fashion, instead of all at once.

do you have any evidence that this was a conscious act?
anything but releasing them the minute they are available would be an aberration in the news business as i understand it. i have a vague recollection that releases are part of the contracting for these sort of thing.
i have no inside knowledge. but if you do, please share.

your desired scenario requires them to hold the single poll for a day, so either way, you need to explain how you know this is even possible.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

Highlight:

The way the NYT released results for 7 state polls is a perfect example of pro-Warren media bias [View all] highplainsdem Nov 2019 OP

Their bias is for a horserace, so they need it to be close. nt tblue37 Nov 2019 #1

Charles Pierce disagrees with your assessment. blm Nov 2019 #2

I doubt very much NYT cares for Warren. beastie boy Nov 2019 #3

Good point, nice summary!! UncleNoel Nov 2019 #4

Awesome "analysis" BeyondGeography Nov 2019 #5

See the edited OP linked to what Nate Silver has said about the bias. highplainsdem Nov 2019 #12

Nate Silver has had his knickers in a twist ever since Warren rose in the polls BeyondGeography Nov 2019 #14

He doesn't like polls that have favorites and ignore or tamper with the sample size and massage data Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #21

Hmmm... I get it, but... zaj Nov 2019 #6

But there is a pro-Warren narrative...why do you suppose the Wisconsin poll was put out first and Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #22

I don't think it is pro-Warren bias, but rather the media's attempt still_one Nov 2019 #7

It has, many times. Charles Pierce just wrote about it. blm Nov 2019 #10

No of course just a happy accident. They are in the tank for warren but cant really Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #16

Mopinko is right. These were different polls, done over different time periods. thesquanderer Nov 2019 #19

You miss the point...one of the six state polls was released early...shows Warren winning by two Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #28

No, that's incorrect. As I said, Iowa was one poll. The 6-state poll was done at a DIFFERENT time... thesquanderer Nov 2019 #40

It was done...the others were released later so... Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #24

Pro-Warren narrative... lol! demmiblue Nov 2019 #11

Nate Silver and the 538 staff see it, too. See the edited OP. highplainsdem Nov 2019 #15

I'm not much on media bias -- except with FOX and similar -- but people would have griped had the Hoyt Nov 2019 #27

How about they get released at the same time...no reason why six of the six polls were not released Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #30

I just don't think there is always a nefarious reason for way things happen. Iowa and NH occur the Hoyt Nov 2019 #33

I would add that all of this favors Warren wouldn't you think a result based on chance would show Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #36
