Funny, I can’t seem to find a link to the poll’s methodology anywhere in the article...

Don’t ask, don’t tell?

I had the same trouble finding the real research done about the effects of masks and mask mandates.
My Governor cited unscientific studies that ignored scientific method.

Methodology = Because we say so. Just like when we ‘Debunk’ stuff.

The cross tabs are linked in a post further down in the thread. This poll is Siena, run by the infamous Nate Silver. Nate's performance has been slipping to say the least. His results conform to the confirmation bias of his clients, which may be good financially, but does not help with his batting record. A completely bogus chart in the NYT article compares 2016 results with Silver's 2020 poll results. Apples and Pineapples, completely useless.

The cross tabs illustrate the "problem", a deliberate decision by Silver to produce his desired results. His regional data is designed to deliver liberal voters masquerading as conservative voters or vice versa. Guess which bias Silver favors? Silvers polls are 180 degrees out from polls by Big Data Poll (Baris), Trafalger (Calhaly) and Susquehanna. These three poll are showing very close races in all of the battleground states with trends going to Trump. Ignore Silver, pay attention to the above three, they are real pollsters.

Save this article, it will be a laughing stock.
