Search: "us politics polls" twitter

That account was suspended because it spread misinformation (the numbers were fabricated)

See:

See also a similar approach to misinformation, and notice the obviously false numbers for the Libertarian Party

That said, growing number of people do not want to send aid to Israel:

Fox News polls are pro-Israel, and certainly misinformation

Gallup polls are pro-Israel, but show a trend in interest to put more pressure on Israel:

And waning support for US aid to Israel is noted in the survey discussed here:

https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20210401-israel-is-an-apartheid-state-so-us-should-stop-aid-say-americans-in-poll/

If Gallup and other polls would ask the question: "should the US continue to send $4 billion in aid each year?" I would guess the answer is 'no' for most people. The problem is: this and various other popular subjects are not discussed in the US, and thus the need to vote out of office politicians who continually refused to support most voters, because they will only work for the biggest donors (re. Israel, gun laws, abortion, voting rights, gerrymandering, women's rights, clean water, education reform, student loans, jobs bills, taxing the rich, etc - you know - all the stuff every GOP congressperson votes against in recent years, along with a few corrupt Dems. They all have to go.)

Ooooh, it got "fact-checked"!

The veracity of your claim lies in that CNN and NBC had different numbers from the Twitter account, even different from each other. For fact checking, you need to establish fact.

The account also claimed at 6:16 p.m. Eastern time that “Donald Trump has won Florida”

Trump did win Florida and it was super obvious he was going to. How was that misinformation?

Part of what your political sports team did, as a tactic, was to weaponize "fact checking." So far this looks more like an example of that.

2 problems: they provided no information on the sources for their numbers, and the numbers did not compare with other studies. In short, the numbers were fabricated. What should happen is that someone arrange a fully documented survey for that question. They killed any credibility they could have had.

As for calling Florida long before the exit polls were counted:

But at the time we published this story, no legitimate news organization had called the state for either candidate.

Users should be leery of any account that, like “US Politics Polls,” displays no identifying information or methodology for its posts:

Did CNN and NBC?

and the numbers did not compare with other studies.

What other studies?

Do you have any legitimate sources that have not been linked to the CIA?

Yes, but they'd probably have to kill you if I told you.

Your faith in the bullshit you believe is sustained by questionable sources.

Doesn't that make you wonder just a little bit...

Funny how one says that so often on Saidit, without a smidgen of a suggestion as to which news sources they regard most reliable. I tend to consult the sources at the top of this media bias chart. I know many on Saidit liks those insane sources on the bottom right side.

Why do you trust that chart? It has AP in the middle.
