NBC News’ polling firm, Public Opinion Strategies, has proven that the mainstream media just can’t help itself when it comes to bungling important data. Their latest debacle shines a glaring spotlight on the left’s relentless attempt to paint Joe Biden in a brighter light than reality would otherwise dictate. The firm mistakenly reported President Biden as being ahead by 3 percentage points nationally, only to later reveal that it’s actually Trump who is leading by the same margin.
The truth emerged not long after an astonishing number of Democrats enthusiastically touted the flawed poll, perhaps a desperate clutch at straws to prop up their increasingly beleaguered leader. Public Opinion Strategies owned up to the significant error, acknowledging that they had flipped the numbers in their initial report. For accuracy, Trump is ahead by 3 points in the multicandidate race, contrary to what was first released.
🚨 BREAKING: New NBC poll shows President Biden now leading by 3 pts. in a three way race:
🔵 Biden 40% (+3)
🔴 Trump 37%
🟡 Kennedy 10% pic.twitter.com/TcaB4qxw3y— Chris D. Jackson (@ChrisDJackson) July 14, 2024
This glaring blunder didn’t take long to ignite a flurry of celebration among Democrats on social media, with many gleefully broadcasting what they believed to be Biden’s unexpected lead. The correction, however, doused their premature victory parade, revealing the more sobering reality that Trump maintains his edge in the showdown.
Noteworthy is how the false poll results quickly made their rounds among Democratic circles, with some party figures and prominent social media accounts joyfully posting and parroting the survey’s initial yet incorrect findings. They ignored the reality check that came later, left scrambling after promoting the erroneous results as an uplifting narrative for Biden amid internal pressures urging him to consider stepping down.
So there you have it: once again, Democrats jumped the gun, spreading misinformation that fit their hopeful narrative, only to be put in their place by the corrected data. What appeared to be a momentary morale booster for the left was swiftly snagged back by the cold, hard facts showing Trump remains ahead. As usual, the question emerges, how many more polling “accidents” need to happen before Americans get honest election forecasts from these so-called unbiased organizations?
And let’s not forget the backdrop: Trump’s recent close call with a dangerous situation that could have dramatically shifted the 2024 campaign. Despite all odds and numerous attempts to disenfranchise his candidacy, Trump’s lead holds strong, a testament to the enduring support he commands among Americans. Democrats might want to take this as a wake-up call—that fabricating a rosier picture won’t change the steadfast reality of Trump’s widespread appeal.
