JD,
Still trying to avoid the substance, being that the CNN poll found that the Trump speech was well received by 2/3rds of those who viewed it and swayed 1 in 5 of those who started off opposed to Trump. Averting your eyes from unwanted facts isn't the path to the truth, but, in your case, explains a lot.

As to the previous polling which you are so vexed by, check their polling in the 2024 presidential election.

AC,

Its a simple statement of fact that the western ships sailing through the Taiwan straits are in international waters. Throwing a tantrum over it on behalf of the CCP doesn't change the facts although that simple truth seems to elude you.

Its not possible to sail through the Bass Strait without entering Australian territorial waters. See the difference? Probably not. Stand by for another tantrum.

What would you like me to say about them, mhaze?

//Still trying to avoid the substance, being that the CNN poll found…//

I questioned your additional claim that the "real" numbers must be even higher because CNN is biased.

That's the substantive point.

//check their polling in the 2024 presidential election.//

Which specific CNN polls in 2024 systematically understated Trump support, and by how much?

If there's a consistent directional error, it should be easy to show in the margins.

"What would you like me to say about them, mhaze?"

The old saying is that if you can't say anything intelligent its best to remain quiet. So therefore I don't want you to say anything about them.

We were talking about the Axios/Harris poll which underestimated Trump's vote by well over 2% in 2024. etc etc

Still, things are looking up for CNN. Its just been announced that Paramount has won the bidding to buy our Warner Bros which includes, among other things, CNN.

That means that CNN editorially will come under the control of the still relatively new team at Paramount which includes the inestimable Bari Weiss (quick JD run off to Grok to see what dirt you can find on her). It was a mere 6 years ago that Weiss left the New York Times because it was no longer an unbiassed news service. She established The Free Press website which gathered a group of excellent reports and commentators (I am proud to say I was an early subscriber) which came to vex the left. Free Press was eventually bought out by Paramount and Weiss enlisted to try to salvage the editorial integrity of the CBS newsroom.

Now CNN will now get the same treatment. Who knows, at this rate, by the end of the Trump administration, the US media might end up being reasonably unbiassed.

mhaze,

We were discussing your claim that CNN polling systematically understates Trump support. Now you're citing Axios/Harris in 2024.

Which specific CNN polls in 2024 understated Trump support, and by how much?

If the claim is about a broader industry polling error, that's different from asserting partisan institutional skew.

Trumpster,

"Who knows, at this rate, by the end of the Trump administration, the US media might end up being reasonably unbiassed." Was the misspelling of the word unbiased due to the fact its not in the Trumpster vocabulary? Your folk hero the Dangerous Doctor Donald attacks any reporter who dares to ask "uncivilised" questions like; "What hanky panky did YOU and your good mate Jeffo get up to on the island?
