"Patriot Polling". Definitely sounds like something we should pay attention to.

[wbrocks67]

I don't think these are included in 538.

[MRS DONNA SHALALA]

lmao

[kwabbit]

The rise of these right wing hobby pollsters is bizarre. I don’t know if these people actually call enough numbers. If the response rate is .5%, then these two high schoolers caller 150k people? Seems unlikely. I’ve been seeing other ones on twitter too.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

MQK is coming out with a poll on Wednesday

[Eraserhead]

Does something like this even need its own thread on here?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

They do have Shapiro up 5 on its website

I would assume they're two rich kids who used daddy's money to hire a firm to do a by-the-numbers IVR poll. The issue is what (if anything) they've done with regards to weighting etc.

[Ferguson97]

Lmao they don't even have race or age as a crosstab, this is worse than trash

[RI]

Can we post Big Penguin polls too?

[wbrocks67]

538 .... added these lol. I guess if Phillips Academy gets added, so does this

[GeorgiaModerate]

I've got to admit, seeing 'HIGHLY R RATED' made me wonder if it was going to be inappropriate for the forum.

[Dani Rose]

lmao

Exactly the kind of people I imagine when I hear the name "Patriot Polling".

Remember that junk poll from some no name we got right before Election Day 2006 that only showed Santorum down by 4 and Keystone Phil got all excited over?

god, it's been ages since i've seen an R-Rated johnson pole

[Fmr. Gov. NickG]

I don’t actually see any indication that this is a partisan poll or a partisan “firm”, other than the name.

I don’t think 538 should’ve add these. Philips Academy is at least an established institution. This is two high schoolers on their own and they’re not even weighting by race.

Of course. That was legendary.

Yeah, I get trying to be inclusive but does Two Random Teens Polling really need to be given any attention?

What do you think the majority of users here look like?

[SPQR]

lmao

Lucca with two C is the name of a city, sure as hell not a proper first name... I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.

[KaiserDave]

RCP will include this.
