Most polling shows a blue wave rolling through Tuesday’s elections and carrying Democrats to majorities in the House and Senate.
Podcaster Joe Rogan says the problem with the conducting of those polls is that “people with a life don’t respond.”
The polling can’t possibly gauge the true heartbeat of the American electorate because a large number of Americans are too busy with their lives to respond to pollsters, Rogan said during Saturday’s episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
“Here’s the problem with polls: Most people don’t answer polls,” Rogan said during a conversation with podcasters Francis Foster and Konstantin Kisin, hosts of “TRIGGERnometry.”
“Anybody with a life, anybody that has like a family and stuff to do and hobbies they enjoy and friends they want to hang out with, they don’t sit around answering some f***ing poll,” Rogan said.
“So you’re literally getting the opinion of people so f***ing stupid they answer polls.”
Trump also attacked the polling industry during a Thursday campaign rally, calling many surveys “fake” and highlighting the controversy surrounding Wedgewood, a purported polling operation accused of fabricating results.
“They didn’t do polling. They just made up numbers,” Trump said.
