Hi everybody Cheryl Ackison here. Welcome to another edition of the Cheryl Ackison Podcast. Today I want to talk

about Poles and on the one hand I do think Poles got kind of a bad rap in

2016 because it's not as though all the polls

were necessarily wrong. It's that as I dug into them the headlines that news people

wrote from the polls and the way they selectively reported the data

was sometimes misleading when the polls themselves may have had accurate information in there.

Then again, there were some polls that were completely wrong over time, especially those that

early and often said that President Trump had no chance and was at the bottom of the pack could never be the nominee and so on.

But here we are again coming into campaign 2020 and we in the media promised to rethink and re-examine what we'd done wrong in 2016,

but I don't see a lot of evidence that we're actually doing that.

I still see that we in the media appear to be trying to use polls like we did in 2015 and 2016,

not so much as a way to reflect or measure public opinion, but to try to sway it.

And you can tell by the way the polls are reported that the people behind the stories are trying to influence you to think a certain way or believe that a certain candidate has no chance or is the best candidate.

Let's look at one such poll that may or may not in the end be accurate as to how things come out when it comes to the Trump impeachment push, but I dug into it to look at the stats and numbers behind it and found some interesting things, much as I did in 2015 and 2016.
