    100% true and why I was so against Biden and the DNC letting CNN run the debate…

    Biden supporters told me I was wrong then, now they tend to agree

    But a poll is a poll and this one seems fine:

    The CNN poll was conducted by SSRS from June 28-30 among a random national sample of 1,274 adults drawn from a probability-based panel, including 1,045 registered voters. Surveys were conducted either online or by telephone with a live interviewer. Results among the full sample have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. For results among registered voters, it is plus or minus 3.7 points.

    Unless this like when trumpets and Hillary supporters started claiming polls don’t matter…

    Hillary supporters said it in 2016, and polls were right and it was a coin toss…

    Trumpets said it in 2020, and polls were right and trump lost…

    Which is why I’m so concerned Biden supporters are saying it in 2024.

    And I don’t understand why if CNN should never be trusted, Biden and the DNC handing them the keys to the debates isn’t a mark against Biden and the DNC and the type of decisions they’re making…
