Bettors Know Better Than Pundits
Want to know who the next president will be? Don't trust polls or pundits. Betting odds at ElectionBettingOdds.com are the best predictor of who will win any election. Pundits have a terrible track record. Last election, Newt Gingrich and Dick Morris forecast a Romney "landslide." Rush Limbaugh said, "All my thinking says Romney big. ... It's not even close." Polls are better, but not much. That's because *you* are not normal. Since you read this column, you are different from most voters. You think a lot about politics. Most Americans don't.
Burying Negative Polls
Network news outlets conduct their own polls. They also bury the poll results when they don't like them. On PBS on Jan. 1, liberal pundit Mark Shields brought some very bad news for the left. The NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll found 73 percent say they want the next president to take a different approach from President Obama's. So NBC, both the creator of the poll and a relentless cheerleader of Obama, chose not to air that bombshell. Instead, they buried it deep in an article on the "Meet the Press" website. "This will become a high hurdle for the Democrats at some stage of the 2016 election," Democratic pollster Fred Yang declared in that piece.
Shock and Awe Over Agrabah
Americans hardly need another polarizing issue to argue about. But according to a new poll, voters are increasingly at odds over US policy toward Agrabah. In a survey released Friday, Public Policy Polling asked a national sample of voters: "Would you support or oppose bombing Agrabah?" The results were revealing. Thirty percent of the Republican respondents supported a bombing campaign, while 13 percent were opposed. Among Democrats, 19 percent were in favor of bombing, compared with 36 percent who were against.
