35% is enough when 1/5 are ambivalent and these folks are disproportionately deciding primary contests in places that actually sent these folks to Washington. https://t.co/cCwNlObT1e

Republicans have issued polls showing their candidates doing better than more objective polls. Then, when some of them lose, they won’t accept the results. It’s a scam and I can see it coming.
Same with not counting the mail-in votes. Republicans complain about votes not being counted by election day but they block efforts to count them earlier.
Republicans flood the zone with pro-GOP polls, bending models in their direction https://t.co/IIjGrYhaJy

At this point, we basically have normal pollsters being like "don't trust our polls, they probably suck" and then Republican pollsters being like "our raw data wasn't good enough, so we just added some pretend Republicans to make things look better."

Fetterman 51-45
Kelly 50-47
Warnock 48-48, up 4 w/RVs
These polls continue the pattern of respected independent polls being 4-8 pts more Dem than the recent flood of bullshit GOP polls. 2/https://t.co/7n6ykbIzVC
This is what I’ve been talking about. More than half the polls being used on aggregate sites are GOP – the rest are split between Dems/Independent

Flooding the zone is an attempt at voter suppression, and it’s a built-in excuse to accuse Dems of cheating if/when they’re wrong. https://t.co/us0qwfqbzl
1) The majority of polls released in the past week are Republican-commissioned and designed to (falsely) show a GOP landslide. There are always a handful of these “fake polls” and they just get averaged out, but now they’re dominating the averages. So why is the GOP doing this?

A "GOP flooding the zone w/shit polls" update.
— Simon Rosenberg (@SimonWDC) November 5, 2022
In GA last 5 "A" rated independent polls have Warnock up an average of 3.2 pts, and he leads in every poll.
In October Rs have dropped 15 different polls by *10* different pollsters. The last 5 of these have Walker up 4.4 pts. 1/
"Last week, four Republican-leaning firms…showed Dr. Mehmet Oz with a lead. This week, four conventional pollsters have shown John Fetterman tied or ahead."

Gosh, that's some whacky polling-average trutherism coming from [checks notes] Nate Cohnhttps://t.co/2ZrnFE1r5A
Republicans will use this as a reason not to accept election results.
They’re flooding the zone with GOP polls so they can game the polling averages and claim election was stolen if Dems do better than expected. RCP and @NateSilver538 are getting played. https://t.co/OK0PidqxNw

We need to start talking about the flood of GOP-aligned polls in the poll averages.

In national polling there are 5-6 GOP polls for every Dem aligned poll.
In PA 3 of 5 public polls we have from Oct are from GOP aligned firms.
